Available Sunday Da Silva (back) is available for Sunday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact After missing Friday's loss to Philadelphia, da Silva will shed his questionable tag due to back spasms and return to action Sunday. The second-year forward has started each of his last three appearances and will likely remain in the starting five with Jalen Suggs (knee) and Franz Wagner (ankle) unavailable. Over his last three outings, da Silva has averaged 12.3 points, 1.3 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 1.0 assists in 24.7 minutes per contest.

Available to play Isaac (illness) is available for Sunday's game against the Pelicans.

Ruled out for Sunday Carter (hip) will not suit up for Sunday's game versus the Pelicans, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Impact With Carter unavailable for Sunday's game, Goga Bitadze will have an opportunity to start and Moritz Wagner will help fill some of the reserve center minutes in his regular-season debut. After Sunday, the Magic don't play again until Thursday, giving Carter a full four days to rest his right hip.

Questionable for Sunday Carter is questionable to play Sunday versus the Pelicans due to a right hip strain.

Impact Carter is a late addition to the injury report, so he'll likely be a game-time call, as the Magic will want him to go through his pregame routine before an official decision is made on his status for Sunday's game. If he can't give it a go, Goga Bitadze and Moritz Wagner would help fill the void at center.

Questionable for Sunday Isaac is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Pelicans due to an illness.

Impact Isaac is feeling under the weather and might not be able to give it a go Sunday. If he is forced to the sidelines, Jett Howard could pick up some extra minutes, and Jamal Cain could have the opportunity to get into the rotation. Check back closer to tipoff for official word on Isaac's status.

Still sidelined Suggs (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact Suggs will miss a fifth consecutive contest due to a bruised right knee. The 24-year-old guard has immediately been ruled out for three consecutive games, so a return doesn't appear imminent. His next chance to play will come Thursday against New Orleans.

Questionable for Sunday Da Silva (bacK) is considered questionable for Sunday's game against New Orleans.

Impact Da Silva missed Friday's game against the Pelicans due to back spasms, and the issue will keep him on the injury report ahead of Sunday's contest. With Franz Wagner (ankle) and Jalen Suggs (knee) out, da Silva would likely draw another start if available.

Not playing Sunday Wagner (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact Wagner's absence will extend to 16 games Sunday as he continues to recover from a left ankle sprain that he suffered against the Knicks on Dec. 7. His next chance to play is Thursday against the Grizzlies, though there doesn't appear to be a clear timeline for his return. Tristan da Silva (back) and Noah Penda should continue to see elevated roles for as long as Wagner is sidelined.

Making season debut Sunday Wagner (knee) will make his 2025-26 regular-season debut against the Pelicans on Sunday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact Wagner was enjoying a career-best start to the 2024-25 regular season before tearing the ACL in his left knee in December of 2024. He has progressed enough in recovery to make his season debut Sunday, though he'll likely operate under a minutes restriction as he works his way into NBA-level shape. Goga Bitadze could revert to the Magic's No. 3 center once Wagner ramps up his minutes.

Makes little impact in first start Penda closed with five points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 30 minutes during Friday's 103-91 loss to Philadelphia.

Impact The rookie forward was making his first career NBA start in a depleted Magic frontcourt, but Penda didn't quite take full advantage of the opportunity. The 2025 second-round pick has seen a big spike in his court time in January with both Franz Wagner (ankle) and Moritz Wagner (knee) sidelined and even Tristan da Silva (back) unavailable Friday, and over the last three games Penda is averaging 9.3 points, 7.3 boards, 2.0 steals, 1.7 blocks, 1.3 assists and 1.3 threes in 29.3 minutes.

Teases triple-double Friday Banchero produced 14 points (6-18 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, seven assists and one block in 37 minutes during Friday's 103-91 loss to the 76ers.

Impact The fourth-year forward came up a few dimes shy of his fifth career triple-double, instead settling for his 12th double-double of the season. Five of those double-doubles have come in the last seven games, a stretch in which Banchero is averaging 24.1 points, 10.3 boards, 6.0 assists, 1.3 threes and 0.9 blocks while shooting 50.8 percent from the floor.

Strikes for 21 against Philly Black chipped in 21 points (7-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and four assists over 37 minutes during Friday's 103-91 loss to the 76ers.

Impact It was an strong bounce-back performance for Black, who has scored just 11 total points over the prior two games. The third-year guard continues to see elevated usage with a number of key Magic players on the shelf, including Jalen Suggs (knee), and Black has started 15 straight contests, averaging 19.1 points, 5.1 assists, 4.3 boards, 2.1 threes, 1.2 steals and 0.8 blocks over that period.

Hits for team-high 23 in loss Bane provided 23 points (9-19 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds and five assists over 38 minutes during Friday's 103-91 loss to the 76ers.

Impact The 23 points led the Magic, who were missing some key pieces in Jalen Suggs (knee) and both Franz Wagner (ankle) and Moritz Wagner (knee). Bane has scored in double digits in 11 of the last 12 games, averaging 20.2 points, 4.8 boards, 4.1 assists, 1.6 threes and 1.6 combined steals and blocks over that stretch, and Orlando will continue to lean on him for offense until the roster gets healthier.
