Jett Howard - Exits game due to ankle injury Howard (ankle) is questionable to return to Friday's game against the Bucks, Dan Savage of the Magic's official site reports.
Impact Howard sprained his left ankle late in the third quarter, and after limping to the bench he eventually went to the locker room. Caleb Houstan would be in line to absorb Howard's minutes if the latter is unable to return to Friday's game.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope - Won't return Friday Caldwell-Pope (knee) won't return to Friday's game against the Bucks.
Impact Caldwell-Pope is dealing with left knee soreness, and his night is over after logging three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt) three rebounds and one steal in 11 minutes. The veteran swingman's next shot to return to the Magic comes Sunday against the 76ers. Caleb Houstan, who was sent back to Orlando's second unit for the returning Paolo Banchero (oblique) against Milwaukee, started the second half Friday and should see additional minutes for the remainder of the game.

Paolo Banchero - Will start in return Friday Banchero will return to the floor and start Friday against the Bucks.
Impact Banchero will make his long-awaited return to the basketball floor for the Magic after missing all but five games this season. The star forward will be thrust into the fire immediately, with Orlando putting him in the starting lineup, but he will play on a minutes restriction. He should give the team a much-needed boost, especially against Giannis Antetokounmpo and company Friday.

Caleb Houstan - Back to bench Friday Houstan isn't in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Bucks.
Impact With star forward Paolo Banchero (oblique) making his long-awaited return to the mix for the Magic on Friday, Houstan will be the odd man out and revert back to the second unit. Houstan has barely been a factor when operating from Orlando's bench this season, as he's averaged 1.8 points, 0.5 rebounds and 0.2 assists in 7.2 minutes over 22 games as a reserve, meaning he'll likely fade back to fantasy irrelevance against Milwaukee.
