Milton "Milt" Wagner (born February 20, 1963 in Camden, New Jersey) is an American former National Basketball Association player.
Wagner played high school basketball at Camden High School.[1]
A 6'5" point guard/shooting guard from the University of Louisville, Wagner was drafted in the second round of the 1986 NBA Draft, and spent two seasons in the league before moving to play overseas, most notably in Israel. Wagner is one of the few players that have won national titles in High school, College and the NBA. He achieved this together with fellow team mate Billy Thompson with whom he played in all 3 sporting levels(except for the NBA-Thompson won the title one year before Wagner). Thompson also played professionally in Israel.
Wagner is also the father of former NBA player Dajuan Wagner, and is currently assistant men's basketball coach for the University of Texas at El Paso[1].
