Won't return Saturday Wagner (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Saturday's game against Miami, Cody Taylor of USA Today reports.
Impact Wagner sustained a non-contact left knee injury and will undergo further testing to determine the specifics and severity of the injury. Jonathan Isaac and Caleb Houstan are the likeliest candidates for increased roles sans Wagner. Wagner's next chance to play will come Monday against Boston.

Ejected Saturday Carter was ejected from Saturday's game against the Heat after being assessed two technical fouls in the second quarter. He finished the game with five points (2-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), a...
Impact The Magic saw Moritz Wagner (knee) depart earlier in the game with a non-contact knee injury and now Carter is gone, so they'll be extremely thin in terms of depth at center. This means Goga Bitadze and Jonathan Isaac will see even more minutes in the frontcourt.

Suffers non-contact injury Wagner was helped off the floor during Saturday's game against the Heat after sustaining a non-contact knee injury, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Impact Wagner wasn't able to put much, if any, weight on his left leg while being helped back to the locker room. Considering the non-contact nature of the injury, Wagner should be considered doubtful to return. Jonathan Isaac and Caleb Houstan could see more action while Wagner is sidelined while Wendell Carter could see more minutes at center.

Starting vs. Miami Black is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Heat.
Impact The Magic will be depleted for this matchup since they'll be missing three regular starters in Jalen Suggs (ankle), Franz Wagner (oblique) and Paolo Banchero (oblique), so Black will be tasked with having a prominent role on offense while holding a starting role in the backcourt. Black has started just once this season prior to Saturday, as he recorded seven points, two rebounds and six assists across 27 minutes in a 120-109 loss to the Cavaliers on Nov. 1.

Ruled out Suggs (ankle) won't play in Saturday's game against the Heat.
Impact Suggs was listed as probable on Orlando's initial injury report but was downgraded to questionable Saturday morning and has officially been ruled out. The 23-year-old guard suffered an unspecified ankle injury in Thursday's game against OKC. Anthony Black will take Suggs' place in the starting lineup while Cory Joseph and Cole Anthony are candidates for expanded roles off the bench.

Iffy for Saturday Harris (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Heat.
Impact Harris is in jeopardy of missing his 11th consecutive outing due to a strained left hamstring. If the veteran guard remains sidelined, Anthony Black and Cole Anthony should continue to see an uptick in playing time.

Expected to play Saturday Suggs (ankle) is listed as probable for Saturday's game versus the Heat.
Impact Suggs played just 17 minutes against the Thunder on Thunder due to a left ankle injury. However, it appears that the 23-year-old guard has avoided a serious injury and isn't expected to miss any further time.

Paces scoring attack Black provided 23 points (8-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), one rebound, three assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Thursday's 105-99 loss to Oklahoma City.
Impact Black turned in his best scoring performance through 29 games this season and did so in an impressive fashion. Jalen Suggs picked up an ankle injury and was held out for much of the second half, which opened up the floor for an uptick in opportunities on the offensive end for Black, who could slot in as the team's starting point guard if Suggs is forced to miss additional time.

Shows signs of life Carter contributed 10 points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-9 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists and one block over 30 minutes during Thursday's 105-99 loss to the Thunder.
Impact Carter secured his first double-double since Oct. 28 despite a rough shooting night from the field. It's been a struggle for the Duke product to produce on a consistent basis, and it's clear that the team's starting center, Goga Bitadze, is performing at a higher level across the board at this point in the season. Even so, perhaps Thursday's showing will be a stepping stone to a hot stretch for the 25-year-old, who has yet to live up to expectations this year.

Secures another double-double Bitadze closed Thursday's 105-99 loss to the Thunder with 15 points (6-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and one block across 27 minutes.
Impact Bitadze notched his third double-double over his last four appearances, and he continues to make the most of his opportunities on the offensive end, hitting 55.8 percent of his tries from the field over this brief hot stretch. He's putting together a solid month of December, averaging 11.9 points, 10.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.4 blocks over seven games. While Bitadze isn't a sure thing to log 30-plus minutes on a nightly basis, he's shown that he only needs 20-to-25 minutes to be productive across the board.
