Franz Wagner - Questionable for Tuesday Wagner (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Houston, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Impact An MRI confirmed a right ankle sprain for Wagner that he suffered Sunday against the Bulls. He wasn't able to return to that contest, but the good news for Orlando is that this appears to be a day-to-day issue. The Magic could use a committee approach to soak up Wagner's minutes if he's unable to play, with guys like Joe Ingles, Gary Harris, Cole Anthony, Anthony Black or Caleb Houstan possibly benefitting.

Wendell Carter Jr. - Sniffs double-double Carter had 11 points (5-11 FG, 1-6 3Pt), eight rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals over 34 minutes during Sunday's 113-98 win over the Bulls.
Impact Carter has been playing well of late and finished just two boards away from recording what would've been his fourth double-double over his last five appearances. He's averaging 13.8 points and 9.8 rebounds per game since the beginning of April.

Paolo Banchero - Leads Orlando in victory Banchero registered 24 points (8-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT), six rebounds and five assists in 36 minutes during Sunday's 113-98 win over the Bulls.
Impact Banchero surpassed the 20-point mark for the third consecutive game, and even though he failed to reach the 30-point plateau this time around, he still posted an excellent overall performance, leaving his mark in the rebounds and assists columns as well. Banchero has scored 20 or more points in six of his last nine appearances, a span in which he's averaging 21.8 points, 7.3 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game.

Jalen Suggs - Bounces back in win Sunday Suggs closed with 19 points (7-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals across 29 minutes during Sunday's 113-98 victory over the Bulls.
Impact Suggs was coming off seven straight outings in which he couldn't clear the 15-point mark, including back-to-back single-digit scoring efforts, but he bounced back in a big way here and played a prominent role on offense Sunday. However, the uptick in touches was also due to Franz Wagner leaving the game with an ankle sprain in the third quarter. Suggs will try to keep the momentum going when the Magic take on the Rockets on Tuesday.

Franz Wagner - Sprains ankle, won't return Wagner has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Bulls with a right ankle sprain. He'll finish with 16 points (5-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, thr...
Impact Wagner twisted his ankle in the third quarter, and though X-rays came back negative, he could still be dealing with a sprain that's significant enough to cost him some time. Notably, Wagner sprained the same ankle in January and missed eight consecutive contests. If Wagner isn't ready to play in the Magic's next game Tuesday in Houston, the team could turn to Joe Ingles, Gary Harris and Cole Anthony for more minutes on the wing, while one of Anthony Black or Caleb Houstan (ankle) would likely enter Orlando's 10-man rotation.

Franz Wagner - Heads to locker room Wagner limped to the locker room with what seemed to be a right ankle injury, Dan Savage of the Magic's official site reports.
Impact Wagner appeared to twist his ankle early in the third quarter and ended up heading to the locker room to get the injury checked out. While he's off the floor, Joe Ingles and Anthony Black could see more action. Wagner should be considered questionable to return.
APRIL 7 • ROTOWIRE
Jonathan Isaac - Won't return Sunday Isaac won't return to Sunday's game against the Bulls due to a sore back.
Impact Isaac has had injury issues throughout his career, and this is unfortunate for the young forward, as he had been playing well of late and only lasted five minutes in this one. Isaac's next chance to play will come against the Rockets on Tuesday.
APRIL 7 • ROTOWIRE
Caleb Houstan - Ruled out Sunday Houstan (ankle) is unavailable Sunday versus Chicago, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Impact Houstan will miss his fourth consecutive game due to a right angle sprain, with his next opportunity to take the court coming Tuesday versus Houston. Moritz Wagner could see a few extra minutes, while the floor spacing of Gary Harris and Joe Ingles remains important to Orlando's rotation.
APRIL 7 • ROTOWIRE
Jett Howard - Returns to NBA Orlando recalled Howard from the G League's Osceola Magic on Sunday.
Impact Howard finished Osceola's G League playoff loss to the Long Island Nets on Friday with 11 points (4-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one block. With Osceola's season now over, Howard figures to provide depth at the NBA level over the final week of the regular season.

Jonathan Isaac - Good to go against Chicago Isaac (back) isn't on the injury report for Sunday's game versus the Bulls.
Impact Despite being available against Charlotte, Isaac didn't play in Friday's contest due to back spasms. However, there is no indication that the 26-year-old forward will sit out against Chicago.
APRIL 6 • ROTOWIRE
Caleb Houstan - Iffy for Sunday Houstan (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Bulls.
Impact Houstan is in danger of his missing his fourth straight contest Sunday due to a right ankle sprain. If Houstan is ruled, Jonathan Isaac should receive increased minutes against Chicago.
