Wendell Carter Jr. - Considered day-to-day Carter (ankle) is considered day-to-day after getting confirmation he suffered a sprained left ankle during Monday's preseason loss to the Pelicans, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sent...
Impact Carter has struggled to stay healthy, playing more than 60 regular-season games only once during his six-year career. However, it seems he avoided a serious injury after appearing visibly frustrated while getting helped off the court Monday. The Magic have three preseason games left until they open the regular season against the Heat on Oct. 23

Cole Anthony - Productive off bench Monday Anthony delivered 11 points (3-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds, two assists and a steal across 14 minutes off the bench in Monday's 106-104 preseason loss to the Pelicans.
Impact Anthony didn't need a lot of minutes to make an impact off the bench in this preseason opener, and while his three-point shooting wasn't good, he still ended as one of three Orlando players with double-digit points. Anthony is expected to open the regular season as Jalen Suggs' primary backup at the point guard position, but that role shouldn't translate to a lot of fantasy upside outside of the very deep formats and dynasty leagues.

Paolo Banchero - Leads Orlando in scoring Banchero finished with 15 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 22 minutes in Monday's 106-104 preseason loss to the Pelicans.
Impact Banchero was one of two Magic starters who surpassed the 20-minute plateau in this preseason opener, and it was clear from the get-go that he was going to be the team's primary threat on offense. That shouldn't be surprising, as Banchero is coming off a career-best season in 2023-24 in which he averaged 22.6 points, 6.9 rebounds and 5.4 assists in 35.0 minutes across 80 regular-season appearances. Banchero should continue to see steady minutes in the preseason ahead of the regular-season opener against the Heat on Oct. 23.

Jalen Suggs - Woeful shooting in preseason loss Suggs delivered 11 points (3-10 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and a steal across 22 minutes in Monday's 106-104 preseason loss to the Pelicans.
Impact Suggs had his first crack at being the Magic's point guard and had a decent showing while being among the players who logged more minutes for Orlando. Even though his shooting numbers were subpar, it's worth noting that Suggs made a career-best 47.1 percent of his shots from the field in 2023-24. Expect him to continue seeing reps as the point guard role ahead of the regular-season opener against the Heat on Oct. 23.

Impact Carter needed help to get to the locker room and was visibly frustrated about the injury.

Impact Carter underwent surgery in May to stabilize the third metacarpal in his left hand, but as expected, he'll be available to start the 2024-25 campaign. The big man was wearing a wrap around his left hand during Tuesday's practice, so there may still be limitations early on, but Carter's full participation is still encouraging at this point in the season.
