Anthony Black News, Rumors, Updates - Orlando Magic | FOX Sports

Set to make first career start Black is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game versus the Lakers.

Impact Black will replace Markelle Fultz (knee) in the starting five Saturday. The rookie guard has had a limited role to start the season, averaging just 4.7 points, 1.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 8.3 minutes across his first three appearances. However, Black will get the chance to run the offense alongside Jalen Suggs in the backcourt Saturday.

Plays 16 minutes in win Black totaled nine points (4-4 FG, 1-3 FT), three rebounds, one assist and two steals in 16 minutes during Thursday's 115-113 win over the Jazz.

Impact Gary Harris, who started the contest in place of Markelle Fultz (knee), suffered a groin injury in the first half and didn't return. Joe Ingles started the second half in place of Harris, but Cole Anthony and Black were the ones who stepped their production up. If Harris and Fultz remain sidelined, it's possible Black will be able to carve out a 20-minute bench role moving forward.

Plays five minutes Wednesday Black logged five points (2-2 FG, 1-1 FT), one assist and two blocks over five minutes during Wednesday's 116-86 win over Houston.

Impact Black was the sixth overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft and put together some encouraging performances in Summer League play, but he saw limited minutes during Wednesday's regular-season opener. Despite Black's limited workload, Jalen Suggs and Gary Harris both played under 22 minutes, so it's possible the rookie can carve out a larger role as he adjusts to the NBA level.

Nabs 14 boards Black registered eight points (3-10 FG, 0-2 3PT, 2-2 FT), 14 rebounds, four assists, one steal and two blocks in 34 minutes of Wednesday's 82-80 Summer League loss to the Knicks.

Impact Though Black struggled from the field, he came through in crunch time, tipping in Jett Howard's missed three-pointer at the buzzer to push the contest into overtime. He was a dominant force on the glass, finishing with a team-high 14 rebounds while also swatting a pair of shots. Though Black has struggled with efficiency, his ability to contribute as a rebounder and defender will help him contribute for the Magic early on.
