Impact Harris will miss a fourth straight game due to a strained right hamstring. His next chance to suit up will come Friday against the Raptors.

Not listed on injury report Bamba (back) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Khobi Price of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Impact Bamba returned to practice Tuesday and appears in line to suit up Wednesday, which would end a string of six straight absences due to back spams. His return may push Moritz Wagner or Bol Bol to the bench, but all three big men should see sizable roles with Wendell Carter (foot) and Chuma Okeke (knee) still sidelined.

Out again Wednesday Suggs (ankle) won't play Wednesday against the Clippers, Khobi Price of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Impact Suggs is slated to miss a seventh straight game due to right ankle soreness. In his absence, Markelle Fultz and Cole Anthony should continue handling most of the point-guard duties. Suggs' next chance to suit will come Friday against the Raptors.

Double-doubles in loss Wagner amassed 19 points (7-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and one steal across 32 minutes before fouling out of Monday's 109-102 loss to the Bucks.

Impact With Wendell Carter (foot), Chuma Okeke (knee) and Mo Bamba (back) all out, Wagner drew a third straight start and notched his first double-double of the campaign. As a starter, he's averaged 13.3 points, 8.3 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 30.0 minutes per game.

Scoreless across 21 minutes Anthony notched zero points (0-9 FG, 0-4 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and two steals in 21 minutes during Monday's 109-102 loss to the Bucks.

Impact Anthony suited up for a fourth straight game following a month-long absence due to an oblique injury, but after scoring in double figures during three straight contests, the third-year guard went scoreless across 21 minutes Monday. While the poor shooting performance was a step in the wrong direction, it doesn't appear like he suffered a setback with his injury, so it can likely be chalked up to an off night. Anthony will look to get back on track Wednesday against the Clippers.

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs on Indiana Pacers rookie Andrew Nembhard: 'He has such a high basketball IQ' Suggs and Nembhard played together at Gonzaga. Last month, they battled for the first time in the NBA.

Participates in practice Bamba (back) took part in practice Tuesday, Dan Savage of the Magic's official site reports.

Impact Bamba has skipped five straight games while tending to a back issue but appears to have a chance to rejoin the action Wednesday. If available, Bamba could be in line for a bit more run than usual with Wendell Carter (foot) out, though Moritz Wagner is coming off of a double-double against the Bucks and should factor in as well.

Takes next step in rehab Orlando assigned Isaac (knee) to the G League's Lakeland Magic on Tuesday, Dan Savage of NBA.com reports.

Impact Isaac hasn't played in an NBA game since tearing his ACL at the NBA bubble in Orlando in the summer of 2020. He was initially expected to be back some time during the 2021-22 campaign, but a hamstring injury that required surgery derailed his rehab process. The No. 6 overall pick in the 2017 draft has been playing in 5-on-5 drills over the last month, and he appears ready to take the next step forward in his rehab by practicing in the G League. It's unclear if Orlando plans on having him suit up for any of Lakeland's games during his assignment, but at the very least, he'll likely need multiple practices in order to regain conditioning before he's deemed ready for his 2022-23 NBA debut.
