Productive in increased role Black supplied 21 points (9-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 31 minutes during Friday's 129-115 win over Indiana.

Impact Black scored at least 20 points for just the sixth time this season, turning in one of his better all-around performances. The Magic were without their regular starters, affording Black an opportunity to play at least 30 minutes for the second straight game. Despite the season-ending injury to Jalen Suggs, Black has been somewhat of a letdown, even in an increased role. Over his past 26 games, Black is averaging just 9.7 points and 1.2 steals in 22.3 minutes per game.

Records two blocks Black provided six points (3-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal across 23 minutes during Thursday's 109-97 win over the Wizards.

Impact With the Magic close to full strength, Black's fantasy appeal is quite limited on the offensive side of things. He's been terrific on the defensive end, however, as he now has a total of six blocks and eight steals over his last five games.

Scores 14 points off bench Black produced 14 points (5-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 26 minutes during Thursday's 101-92 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Black has been a reliable scoring weapon off the bench for the Magic in recent weeks, and the numbers back that up. He's posted double-digit points in five of his previous six appearances while also dishing out multiple assists five times, so he's making an impact both as a playmaker and scorer. Over that six-game stretch, Black is averaging 14.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.2 blocks per contest.

Scores 20 points off bench Black recorded 20 points (8-18 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two blocks and one steal over 30 minutes during Tuesday's 111-104 victory over the Hornets.

Impact Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner led the way for the Magic in this one, but Orlando wouldn't have been able to come away with the win hadn't Black been as good as he was coming off the bench. The lack of consistency on a game-to-game basis has been Black's biggest knock in recent outings, but he seems to be trending toward the right path of late. He's scored in double digits in four of his last five appearances, averaging 14.8 points per game and shooting 57.1 percent from the floor in that stretch.

Impresses off bench in win Black amassed 17 points (7-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt), five rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal across 30 minutes during Monday's 118-106 win over the Lakers.

Impact Black led the second unit in scoring during an extremely efficient outing Monday. The 21-year-old struggled over his first seven appearances in March, during which he had averaged only 6.6 points while shooting 35.9 percent from the field. However, Black has scored in double figures in three of his last four appearances, averaging 13.5 points while shooting 64.5 percent from the field. The second-year combo guard has also recorded six assists in back-to-back games.

Solid stat line coming off bench Black chipped in 13 points (5-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one block over 26 minutes during Friday's 120-105 win over Washington.

Impact Black has struggled with consistency this season, and this was just the fifth time he scored in double digits coming off the bench across his 15 appearances since the All-Star break. The former Arkansas standout has carved a solid role in the rotation as the backup point guard for the Magic, but the inconsistency he shows on a game-to-game basis limits his upside considerably, even if he delivers solid outings like Friday's from time to time.

Scores 17 points in win Black supplied 17 points (5-7 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals across 22 minutes during Sunday's 108-103 win over the Cavaliers.

Impact Cole Anthony (toe) and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (rest) were both cleared to play in this game, but Cory Joseph started at point guard again, while Anthony came off the bench. Anthony, who'd missed two straight games, lasted only six minutes before aggravating his injury, allowing Black to see more usage off the bench. This was Black's highest-scoring outing since Feb. 23, when he scored a season-high 23 points. Given the inconsistencies of his production and role, Black doesn't offer a ton of fantasy value, even if Anthony misses extended time.

Magic end 5-game skid with a 111-109 victory over the Bucks

Struggles continue Tuesday Black supplied five points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 15 minutes during Tuesday's 114-113 loss to Toronto.

Impact Black logged just 15 minutes despite the fact the Magic are without both Jalen Suggs (knee) and Cole Anthony (toe). Given Cory Joseph was handed the starting role over Black, it's fair to assume the coaching staff don't have a lot of faith in Black just yet. At this point, it appears as though a consistent starting role is not on the cards.

Shines off bench Sunday Black ended Sunday's 110-90 win over Washington with 23 points (7-12 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 27 minutes.

Impact Black carried the Magic in scoring and played a pivotal role in the win with a solid showing, particularly with his shooting from beyond the arc. This 23-point output matched his previous season-high mark, established in a Dec. 19 loss to the Thunder, and it was the fourth time he scored in double digits off the bench in his last six outings. Black is averaging 10.4 points per game while shooting 44 percent from deep since the beginning of February.

Four dimes in Rising Stars event Black registered four points (2-5 FG) and four assists over 8:16 of court time in Team T's 40-34 loss to Team C.

Impact Black tied Team C's Stephon Castle and Dalton Knecht in assists in Friday's semifinal. Black's efforts weren't enough for Team T to advance to the Rising Stars final for a shot at a spot in Sunday's All-Star event. Black entered the All-Star break having scored at least 15 points in three of his last five outings, and he's had a larger role for the Magic due to the recent absence of Jalen Suggs (quadriceps). Black and the Magic will hit the road for their first game after the break against the Hawks on Thursday, Feb. 20.

Plays 34 minutes against Atlanta Black tallied six points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Monday's 112-106 loss to the Hawks.

Impact Black didn't exactly stuff the stat sheet Monday, but it was noticeable that he saw the floor far more than starting point guard Cole Anthony (15 minutes). Black was in the starting lineup in six of the Magic's 10 games prior to Monday's contest, and he could be in line for extended playing time (starting or off the bench) against the Hornets on Wednesday, especially if Jalen Suggs (quadriceps) is not able to play.

Pops for 20 points in win Black notched 20 points (8-9 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, one assist and two steals over 27 minutes during Saturday's 112-111 victory over San Antonio.

Impact Black tallied at least 20 points for just the third time this season, delivering arguably his best performance in almost two months. With Jalen Suggs sidelined due to a quadriceps injury, both Black and Cole Anthony have been able to churn out encouraging numbers. Despite still coming off the bench, Black should continue to do a lot of the ball handling, especially when running the second unit.

FEBRUARY 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Retreats to bench vs. Sacramento Black will come off the bench in Wednesday's game against the Kings.

Impact After going scoreless in Monday's start against the Warriors, Black will cede his place in Orlando's starting lineup to Cole Anthony. Through 38 appearances from the Magic's bench, Black has averaged 9.0 points, 3.6 assists, 2.6 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 0.6 blocks in 24.1 minutes, so he should still receive substantial minutes in the absence of Jalen Suggs (quadriceps) against Sacramento.
