INJURIES

Could return Friday Bitadze (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Hornets.
Impact Bitadze was unable to play against the Trail Blazers on Tuesday due to a left knee strain, but the seventh-year center has a chance to return for Friday's contest. Jonathan Isaac would likely see a slight downtick in minutes off the bench if Bitadze is given the green light to play.
4 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Won't play vs. Portland Bitadze (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Impact Bitadze will sit for the back end of the Magic's back-to-back set Tuesday due to a left knee strain, and his next opportunity to play is Friday against the Hornets. Orlando Robinson and Jett Howard are in line for more minutes due to Bitadze, Franz Wagner (ankle) and Tristan da Silva (shoulder) all being sidelined.
1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE
Iffy for Tuesday Bitadze is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Trail Blazers with a strained left knee.
Impact Fantasy managers can expect the Magic to determine Bitadze's status closer to Tuesday's tipoff. Should the big man be unable to suit up, Orlando Robinson would have the backup center job all to himself.
2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Blocks two shots in loss Bitadze ended with seven points (3-4 FG, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 17 minutes during Tuesday's 117-108 win over the Heat.
Impact Bitadze extends his blocks streak to eight, averaging 6.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.6 steals and 1.5 blocks across 17.4 minutes in that span. He has done a fine job backing up Wendell Carter and continues to be a great source of blocks and rebounds for fantasy managers.
DECEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE
All-around effort in loss Bitadze accumulated eight points (4-4 FG), five rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 19 minutes during Wednesday's 114-112 loss to the Spurs.
Impact Bitadze has really been a big part of Orlando's defense, posting a steal and a block in each of his last five games and in seven of his last eight. Bitadze averages 6.4 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.3 blocks across 16.9 minutes this season, making him an elite blocks specialist with potential to contribute in the points and rebounds categories as well.

Magic center exits with injury vs. Bulls Orlando Magic center Goga Bitadze is dealing with a hip injury suffered in the fourth quarter of the team's game against the Chicago Bulls....
DECEMBER 2 • SI.COM
Flirts with double-double Bitadze logged 10 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 20 minutes during Tuesday's 144-103 win over Philadelphia.
Impact Bitadze played through a recent ankle injury, falling one rebound short of what would have been his first double-double of the season. Firmly established as the backup behind Wendell Carter, Bitadze has provided Orlando with a serviceable rim-protector off the bench. Through 18 games, he has averaged 6.4 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 16.9 minutes per contest.
NOVEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE
Available Tuesday Bitadze (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.
Impact Bitadze was a late addition to the injury report due to left ankle soreness, though he'll shed his questionable tag and suit up after missing Sunday's loss to Boston. Over his last five appearances, the backup center has averaged 6.4 pointds, 5.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks in 16.2 minutes per contest.
NOVEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE
Downgraded to questionable Bitadze (ankle) is now questionable for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.
Impact Bitadze is a late addition due to a sore left ankle, which doesn't bode well for his chances of playing. If the big man is sidelined, Orlando Robinson would likely handle the backup center role behind Wendell Carter.
NOVEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE
Off injury report for Tuesday Bitadze (ankle) is not listed on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.
Impact Bitadze was a late scratch for Sunday's game against the Celtics due to left ankle soreness, but he's all set to get back in action Tuesday. The 2019 first-rounder has averaged 6.2 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.2 blocks in 16.8 minutes per tilt across 17 games this season.
NOVEMBER 24 • ROTOWIRE
Late scratch Sunday Bitadze won't play in Sunday's game against the Celtics due to left ankle soreness.
Impact Bitadze was slated to start Sunday due to Wendell Carter (ankle) being sidelined, though the former will now join Carter on the sidelines. With both big men out, Orlando Robinson will make his first start of the season.
NOVEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE
Starting sans Carter Bitadze will start Sunday's game against Boston.
Impact With Wendell Carter (ankle) sidelined in the second leg of Orlando's back-to-back set, Bitadze will get the starting nod for the first time this season. Over his last five appearances, the big man has averaged 6.4 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks in 16.2 minutes per contest. However, he's likely to see a significant uptick in minutes as a member of the starting five.
NOVEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE
Scores six in win Bitadze finished Tuesday's 121-113 victory over Golden State with six points (3-3 FG), two rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 14 minutes.
Impact Bitadze continues to backup Wendell Carter at the center position, and has been productive in limited playing time, averaging 5.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.5 steals and 1.3 blocks across 16.6 minutes. While it appears that Carter's role in the starting lineup has been cemented, Bitadze does provide a lot of value in the blocks and field goal percentage categories, and would be a must-add if Carter were to miss time.
NOVEMBER 19 • ROTOWIRE
Blocks three shots in loss Bitadze posted two points (1-2 FG), two rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal across 15 minutes during Sunday's 111-107 loss to the Celtics.
Impact Bitadze's role backing up Wendell Carter is seemingly solidified, and while he did not produce much offensively, he was able to record three blocks and averages 1.3 swats this season. Bitadze will continue to come off the bench, and his value seems to stem purely from his ability to block shots.
NOVEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE
Paces bench in scoring Bitadze registered 15 points (7-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt), six rebounds, one steal and three blocks in 20 minutes during Saturday's 125-94 win over the Wizards.
Impact Bitadze did the majority of his damage in the fourth quarter of a blowout, scoring all but four of his points in the final period. However, Saturday's showing marked season highs in scoring and blocks for the big man, which is a positive sign after he was held to six points and three boards in 13 minutes Wednesday in Charlotte. Bitadze remains stuck behind Wendell Carter at the center position, so unless Carter gets into foul trouble or picks up an injury, Bitadze's production will be limited at best.
NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE
Pulls down six rebounds in loss Bitadze totaled 10 points (5-5 FG), six rebounds, two assists and one block across 27 minutes during Wednesday's 135-116 loss to the Pistons.
Impact Bitadze's role as the backup big man behind Wendell Carter has been steady, but he saw extended run Wednesday because Carter fouled out after just 18 minutes. This led to a bigger role for Bitadze, who made all five of his field goals and blocked a shot. While Bitadze's production may not warrant consideration on a roster, it is worth monitoring if he ever does get elevated to the starting lineup in place of Carter.
OCTOBER 30 • ROTOWIRE
Fills stat sheet in win Bitadze scored eight points (3-4 FG, 2-2 FT, 0-1 3Pt), eight rebounds, four assists, a steal and a block across 18 minutes in Wednesday's 125-121 win over Miami.
Impact Bitadze performed well in limited playing time, flirting with a double-double while backing up Wendell Carter. While Bitadze's role will be uncertain once Moritz Wagner (knee) returns, these types of performances should keep Bitadze on fantasy managers' radar in the meantime.
OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE
Grabs eight boards in win Bitadze posted six points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds and two blocks across 16 minutes in Saturday's 126-118 preseason win over the Heat.
Impact Bitadze grabbed a team-high eight rebounds and knocked down a rare three-pointer. The 26-year-old center is likely to back up Wendell Carter to open this season, as Moritz Wagner is still recovering from a torn ACL he sustained in December 2024 and isn't guaranteed to return by Opening Night.
OCTOBER 5 • ROTOWIRE
2019 NBA draft re-do: Sixers stay at No. 24, take big man Goga Bitadze In a complete re-draft of 2019, the Philadelphia 76ers stay at No. 24 and select big man Goga Bitadze.
JUNE 16 • USATODAY.COM
Sees just two minutes Bitadze posted no counting stats over two minutes during Tuesday's 120-89 loss to the Celtics in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Impact Bitadze saw just a total of 11 minutes in this series, as the Magic relied mostly on Wendell Carter at center. He saw some decent playing time in the regular season, however, posting averages of 7.2 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.4 blocks and 0.7 steals in 20.4 minutes while shooting 61.1 percent from the field. Bitadze is under contract for two more years and is likely to open the 2025-26 season as Carter's backup.
APRIL 30 • ROTOWIRE
Sees eight minutes Bitadze racked up two points (1-1 FG), three rebounds, one assist and one block in eight minutes during Wednesday's 109-100 loss to the Celtics in Game 2 of the first round of the...
Impact After playing a sizable role during the regular season with 7.2 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.4 blocks in 20.4 minutes per game, Bitadze has played a total of nine minutes to open this series against Boston. Wendell Carter and Paolo Banchero are soaking up the vast majority of frontcourt minutes, and that's unlikely to change ahead of Game 3.

Back to bench Bitadze won't start Sunday's game against the Hawks.
Impact With Wendell Carter (hip) sidelined, Bitadze drew a spot start Friday and posted 11 points, seven rebounds, three assists, two steals and a block. While he'll slide back to his usual bench role, he could see increased playing time if Carter doesn't play the entire game.
