BOL BOL NEWS

Invisible in loss Friday Bol logged two points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and one assist in 20 minutes during Friday's 110-105 loss to Miami.

Impact Bol barely made the score attendant work for their money, turning in a disappointing performance. After starting the season as arguably the waiver wire pickup of the year, things have regressed hard in recent times. He has been outside the top 250 over the past month, playing just 20 minutes per night. With the Magic starting to get healthy, Bol is being squeezed for playing time, a trend that has ended his time as a 12-team asset. At best, he can be viewed as a possible blocks streamer.

Posts four blocks from bench Bol chipped in 11 points (4-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and four blocks over 16 minutes during Saturday's 138-118 loss to Washington.

Impact Bol played just under nine minutes in the fourth quarter and managed nine points on 3-of-7 shooting from the floor while adding three rebounds and three blocks. He finished with a game-high four blocks in the contest, which also matched his season high as the big man continues to be a solid contributor for the Magic when called upon. Bol has also scored at least 10 points in three straight despite averaging only 18 minutes per game over that stretch.

Catches fire off bench Bol finished with 17 points (8-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal across 18 minutes in Sunday's 119-116 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Though Bol was able to provide a strong offensive spark off the bench, he played exactly 18 minutes for the second straight game in his return from a five-game absence while he was in the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols. He's unlikely to see his playing-time outlook improve moving forward, as an already-crowded Orlando frontcourt is soon expected to add Jonathan Isaac (knee) back to the mix. One of Isaac, Bol or Moritz Wagner could be on the outside looking in for a rotation spot when the Magic are back to full strength.

Non-factor in Friday's return Bol logged four points (2-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over 18 minutes during Friday's 112-108 loss to the Jazz.

Impact Bol was back in action Friday after missing the previous five games, logging 18 minutes off the bench. After a red-hot start to the season, Bol has been trending in the wrong direction of late. The Magic are starting to get some of their main guys back on the floor, meaning Bol's role continues to shrink. Given the trajectory, he can probably be dropped in standard formats.

Doesn't play Tuesday Bol (coach's decision) wasn't used in Tuesday's 109-106 win over the Trail Blazers.

Impact Bol was active Tuesday after sitting out the Magic's last four games while he was following the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols, but head coach Jamahl Mosely didn't summon him from the bench. The Magic may have just been making Bol available only in an emergency while he works to regain conditioning, but his role had been trending down even before he missed time. Bol played 25 or fewer minutes in seven of his past eight appearances, and he could be at risk of seeing his playing time shrink further once Jonathan Isaac (knee) potentially rejoins the Orlando frontcourt mix next week.

Off injury report Bol (COVID-19 health and safety protocols) has been removed from the Magic's injury report ahead of Tuesday's game in Portland.

Impact As anticipated, Bol will be available for the second leg of a back-to-back set after he missed his fourth straight game Monday against the Kings while he was subject to the NBA's health and safety protocols. Though he started in each of his prior 32 appearances, Bol could be eased back into the mix Tuesday in a bench role while Paolo Banchero and Wendell Carter serve as the Magic's starters in the frontcourt.

Expected to rejoin team Tuesday Bol (COVID-19 protocols), who is out for Monday's game against the Kings, has cleared the league's health and safety protocols and is expected to rejoin the Magic ahead of Tuesday'...

Impact Bol will be forced to miss a fourth consecutive game Monday, but it appears likely that he'll be available for the second half of Orlando's back-to-back set. He's averaging 26.1 minutes per game this season, but it's not yet clear whether his playing time will be restricted if he's given the green light Monday.

Not ready to play Monday The Magic list Bol (COVID-19 health and safety protocols) as out for Monday's game in Sacramento.

Impact Orlando opened its five-game West Coast road trip Saturday in Oakland, where Bol missed his third straight contest as the Magic took a 115-101 loss to the Warriors. The Magic haven't provided an indication whether Bol will be available later in the trip, but he'll miss yet another game Monday in Sacramento, and his status for the second half of the back-to-back set Tuesday in Portland would seem to be very much up in the air as well.

Won't play against Golden State Bol (COVID-19 protocols) is out for Saturday's game versus the Warriors.

Impact Bol will miss his third straight game Saturday while in health and safety protocols. He is expected to return to the lineup before the team's road trip ends on Jan. 15, but the earliest he can now play is Monday's matchup with Sacramento. Wendell Carter, Mo Wagner, Paolo Banchero and Mo Bamba should all see playing time in the frontcourt during Bol's absence.

Impact Bol doesn't seem to have a specific date for his return to action, but he should be back during the team's road trip. The five-game set opens Saturday against Golden State and ends Jan. 15 versus the Nuggets, giving fantasy managers a window to expect the big man back. However, it remains to be seen how the frontcourt minutes will be doled out now that Wendell Carter is back in form.

Sitting again Thursday Bol (COVID-19) is out for Thursday's game versus the Grizzlies, Khobi Price of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Impact Bol will miss both legs of Orlando's back-to-back while in health and safety protocols. Wendell Carter has returned to his starting job, which likely means one of Moritz Wagner (suspension) and Bol will lose his starting job when everyone is available. Bol's next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with the Warriors.

Won't play Wednesday Bol (COVID-19) is out for Wednesday's game versus the Thunder, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.

Impact Bol will miss Wednesday's contest after entering health and safety protocols Tuesday. With Moritz Wagner (suspension) also out, Mo Bamba and Wendell Carter will likely see extended minutes in the frontcourt. Bol's next opportunity to suit up is Thursday's matchup with the Grizzlies, although it wouldn't be surprising if he's still in protocols at that point.

Enters COVID-19 protocols Bol was placed in the league's health and safety protocols Tuesday, Philip Rossman-Reich of OrlandoMagicDaily.com reports.

Impact Bol's status for Wednesday's matchup against the Thunder remains to be determined, but it's safe to presume he's a long shot to suit up just a day after landing in the league's COVID-19 protocols. If he's sidelined, Wendell Carter figures to make his way back into the starting lineup, but Orlando is currently dealing with numerous injuries to its frontcourt, which may make depth a major issue moving forward.

Production dwindling Bol accumulated 11 points (5-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and six rebounds across 25 minutes during Wednesday's 121-101 loss to Detroit.

Impact It was another tepid performance for the 23-year-old big, whose early-season breakout appears to have stalled. Bol hasn't recorded a double-double in over a month and has scored more than 14 points just once in the last 10 games, averaging 10.1 points, 5.8 boards and 0.9 blocks over that stretch. Those are still solid numbers compared to his time in Denver, but a far cry from the production he posted in his first 10 starts for Orlando (14.0 points, 8.9 rebounds, 1.7 blocks).

Top rebounder in near double-double Bol produced 11 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and eight rebounds across 20 minutes during Sunday's 95-92 victory over the Celtics.

Impact Bol led the team in rebounds while finishing two boards shy of posting his seventh double-double of the season. Bol has been one of the biggest surprises of in fantasy basketball thus far, though he's been a bit hot-and-cold of late, scoring six or fewer points in five of his last 10 games. The eventual return of Wendell Carter (foot), which could come as early as this week, may also put a dent into Bol's workload going forward.
