Paolo Banchero - Game-time decision ThursdayDespite a previous report, coach Jamahl Mosley said Banchero (oblique) will go through his pre-game shooting routine and a decision about his availability for Thursday's matchup wi...
ImpactBanchero was initially expected to make his return to action Friday after Milwaukee after missing 33 consecutive games due to a torn right oblique. However, it appears that the Magic will stick to their questionable designation for the star forward, so fantasy managers should look out for an official update from Orlando.

Paolo Banchero - Will play against MinnesotaBanchero (oblique) is available for Thursday's game versus the Timberwolves, NBA reporter Chris Haynes reports.
ImpactBanchero has missed Orlando's last 33 contests due to a right oblique strain but will return to action Thursday. While the star forward should reclaim his starting spot from either Tristan da Silva or Caleb Houstan, it wouldn't be surprising for Banchero to operate on a minutes restriction as he works his way fully back into game shape.

Moritz Wagner - Undergoes successful surgeryThe Magic announced that Wagner underwent successful surgery to repair a torn ACL in his left knee Wednesday and will miss the remainder of the 2024-25 season.
ImpactWagner had already been ruled out for the rest of the 2024-25 campaign after making 30 appearances before suffering a torn ACL against Miami on Dec. 21. However, the 27-year-old big man can now begin his rehab process and has an $11 million team option for 2025-26.

Jalen Suggs - Dealing with back strainThe Magic announced Thursday that further evaluation has confirmed a lower back strain for Suggs and his return will depend on how he responds to treatment.
ImpactSuggs has already been ruled out for Thursday's contest after missing Orlando's last two outings due to his back injury. Cole Anthony will likely continue to start in his absence. Suggs seems certain to also miss Friday's matchup with Milwaukee, but his response to treatment will ultimately determine how long the 23-year-old guard is forced to sit out.
