NOVEMBER 1 • NBA.COM
Magic's Paolo Banchero sidelined indefinitely with oblique injury Banchero suffered the injury during the fourth quarter of Orlando’s game at Chicago on Wednesday night.
NOVEMBER 1 • ORLANDOSENTINEL.COM
Paolo Banchero - Suffers torn oblique Banchero has been diagnosed with a right torn oblique and will be re-evaluated in 4-to-6 weeks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Impact Banchero appeared to suffer the injury during Wednesday's loss against the Bulls, and he's been ruled out indefinitely after undergoing further testing. Charania notes that a timetable for his return will depend on how he responds to treatment. Jonathan Isaac and Moritz Wagner will likely be in line for more playing time while Banchero recovers.

Jonathan Isaac - Plays well in return from hip issue Isaac (hip) logged 14 minutes off the bench and tallied eight points (2-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal in Wednesday's 102-99 loss to the Bulls.
Impact Isaac produced solid per-minute numbers in his return to the court following a three-game absence due to a left hip contusion. While Isaac and Moritz Wagner should continue to operate as the Magic's primary backup big men moving forward, Isaac's lengthy injury history could deter Orlando from scaling up his minutes dramatically, even once he becomes further removed from the hip issue. Between his 65 appearances in the regular season and postseason in 2023-24, Isaac topped 25 minutes on just four occasions.

Goga Bitadze - Questionable for Friday Bitadze (foot) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Cavaliers, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Impact Bitadze could miss his third straight game Friday due to a left foot strain. However, Bitadze's potential absence shouldn't significantly impact Orlando's rotation.
OCTOBER 31 • ROTOWIRE
Franz Wagner - Questionable for Friday Wagner (illness) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Cavaliers, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Impact Wagner left Wednesday's game against Chicago early due to illness and is now in danger of missing Friday's contest. With Paolo Banchero (abdomen) also questionable, Jonathan Isaac, Jett Howard and Caleb Houstan could all see increased playing time.
OCTOBER 31 • ROTOWIRE
Paolo Banchero - Iffy against Cleveland Banchero is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Cavaliers due to a right abdominal strain, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Impact Banchero seems to have suffered an abdominal strain against Chicago and is in danger of missing his first game of the season Friday. If the star forward is ultimately ruled out, Jonathan Isaac and Jett Howard are candidates to receive increased playing time.
OCTOBER 31 • ROTOWIRE
Anthony Black - Dishes out career-high six assists Black contributed four points (1-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, six assists, three blocks and one steal in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 102-99 loss to Chicago.
Impact Black has been the Magic's primary backup point guard to Jalen Suggs to begin the season. Across Black's first five appearances in 2024-25, he is averaging 8.4 points, 4.2 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 1.4 blocks in 25.6 minutes.

Cole Anthony - Catches DNP-CD on Wednesday Anthony was a DNP-Coach's Decision for Wednesday's loss to the Bulls.
Impact Per Sports Illustrated's Mason Williams, Anthony stated, "[I] wasn't playing that well, me and [Magic coach Jamahl Mosley] had a conversation. He keeps it a buck with me, I'm gonna keep it a buck with him. And I mean, this is what happens. It's a business, man." The guard has scored just eight points on 18.8 percent shooting to begin the season. As he's struggled, sophomores Anthony Black and Jett Howard have found more consistent run this season.

Jalen Suggs - Big all-around effort in loss Suggs totaled 17 points (7-16 FG, 3-9 3Pt), six rebounds, five assists, two blocks and four steals over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 102-99 loss to Chicago.
Impact The fourth-year point guard made an impact at both ends of the court as he continues his hot start to the season. Suggs is averaging 16.8 points, 5.0 boards, 3.8 assists, 3.4 threes, 2.2 steals and 1.0 blocks through the first five games of the campaign, numbers which would represent career highs nearly across the board if he's able to maintain something even close to that pace.

Paolo Banchero - Pours in 31 in Chicago Banchero logged 31 points (12-22 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 5-7 FT), seven rebounds and four assists over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 102-99 loss to the Bulls.
Impact One game after becoming the first player in the NBA this season to put together a 50-point performance, Banchero was dominant again as he led all scorers on the night. The third-year forward could be ready to rise to superstardom after being the first overall pick in the 2022 Draft, topping 30 points in three of five contests to begin the campaign while averaging 29.0 points, 8.8 boards, 5.6 assists and 2.2 threes.
