Anthony Black News, Rumors, Updates - Orlando Magic

Logs four steals vs. Boston Black supplied 13 points (5-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four assists, four rebounds and four steals over 33 minutes during the Magic's 123-110 win over the Celtics on Friday.

Impact Black led the Magic's bench in scoring Friday and led both teams with a season-high four swipes. He played a season-high 33 minutes Friday, 19 of which came in the second half. Even though he occupies a reserve role, Black has been consistently getting more playing time than Jalen Suggs as the latter continues to have his minutes restricted while recovering from offseason knee surgery.

Returns to bench Black will come off the bench for Saturday's game against the Wizards.

Impact This is an expected move with Jalen Suggs back in the mix after a maintenance day. Black was outstanding in Thursday's win over the Hornets with 20 points (8-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, two assists, two blocks and two steals across 31 minutes.

Scores 20 points with full line Black provided 20 points (8-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, two assists, two blocks and two steals across 31 minutes during Thursday's 123-107 win over the Hornets.

Impact Black has been heating up over the past four games, posting averages of 15.8 points on 52.4 percent shooting from the field and 72.2 percent at the stripe to go with 3.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.5 triples, 1.3 steals, 1.0 block and 3.3 turnovers per contest. He got the start Thursday with Jalen Suggs taking a rest day, so while he'll likely return to the bench his next time out, he should still be a sizable part of the rotation.

Team option picked up The Magic picked up Black's fourth-year team option Wednesday, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Impact This was a formality as far as Orlando is concerned. This move keeps Black under contract with the Magic through the 2026-27 campaign. Black is averaging 12.0 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists through four games to open the regular season.

Drops 14 off bench Black put up 14 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-7 FT), three rebounds two assists, a steal and a block in 30 minutes during Monday's 136-124 loss to Philadelphia.

Impact Despite Jalen Suggs (knee) returning from his one game absence, Black still played 30 minutes and scored in double digits again, leading all bench players in scoring as well. Black has risen to be one of the main contributors among the second unit, and he will look to continue his momentum going Wednesday against Detroit.

Pops for 19 bench points Black posted 19 points (6-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 30 minutes during Saturday's 110-98 loss to Chicago.

Impact Black struggled to make an impact during Friday's matchup against the Hawks, finishing with eight points, three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 21 minutes. However, he came through with a strong showing Saturday, leading the bench in scoring while also contributing defensively. Black experienced an uptick in minutes with Jalen Suggs (knee) ruled out, so expect his workload to take a hit once Suggs returns to health.

Bulls beat the cold-shooting Magic 110-98 for a 2-0 start

Josh Giddey had 21 points and eight rebounds, and the Chicago Bulls beat the Orlando Magic 110-98 on Saturday night for a 2-0 start

OCTOBER 26, 2025 • Associated Press

Muted performance in loss Black racked up eight points (3-4 FG, 2-5 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal over 21 minutes during Friday's 111-107 loss to the Hawks.

Impact Black didn't make much of an impact off the bench. He may struggle to find time on the floor unless Jalen Suggs (knee) isn't available, which could happen often early in the season with the team taking a cautious approach with the veteran guard.

Scores 12 off bench Black logged 12 points (3-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five assists, two rebounds and one block in 21 minutes of Friday's 128-98 preseason win over the 76ers.

Impact Jalen Suggs (knee) missed another game and remains without a clear timetable. Tyus Jones started at point guard, but he was pretty quiet in his 19-minute stint. Black may be the third-string point guard on paper when everybody is healthy, but if Friday was any indication, he's going to push for more minutes.

Impact Although he didn't shoot the ball well, Black was far more effective than a scoreless Cory Joseph. Black saw his role increase significantly in his second NBA season, but he had some struggles and couldn't take advantage of all the injuries in Orlando. He shot just 42.3 percent from the field and 31.8 percent from beyond the arc, averaging 9.4 points, 2.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.8 three-pointers in 24.2 minutes.

Impact Black led Orlando's second unit in minutes played and was the only player to hit double-digit points. The Magic are running a very tight rotation at every position other than point guard, as Black is basically in a timeshare with veteran Cory Joseph.
