Orlando Magic News, Rumors, Updates - National Basketball Association

Listed out for Tuesday Suggs (knee) will not play Tuesday against the Wizards.

Impact No surprise here, as Suggs was previously listed as doubtful. For now, it seems improbable that Suggs would be ready to return Wednesday against the Nets, but he hasn't officially been ruled out for that one yet.

Listed out for Tuesday Wagner (knee) is out for Tuesday's game against the Wizards, per Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel.

Impact The Magic are hoping that Wagner will be able to make his season debut at some point this week. Until then, Goga Bitadze is locked into the backup center role behind Wendell Carter.

Won't play Tuesday Wagner is out for Tuesday's game against the Wizards with a sprained left ankle, per Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel.

Impact The Magic anticipate Wagner being able to return at some point this week, so his status appears to be day-to-day ahead of Wednesday's game against the Nets. Tristan da Silva should hang on to streaming appeal for at least one more contest.

JANUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful for Tuesday Suggs (knee) is doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Wizards.

Impact Suggs appears likely to miss his second straight contest. He hasn't returned to practice yet, so a return Wednesday against the Nets seems improbable as well.

Another dud in win Jones produced three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two assists and one block across 14 minutes during Sunday's 135-127 win over the Pacers.

Impact Even with Jalen Suggs (knee) battling yet another injury, Jones just can't seem to get much going in Orlando. Over his last eight games, he's averaging 23.3 minutes per night with 6.0 points, 3.4 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 1.0 steals.

JANUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Muted performance in win Bitadze contributed two points (1-2 FG) and two rebounds over 16 minutes during Sunday's 135-127 win over Indiana.

Impact This was a quiet outing for Bitadze, and that's been the case for a while now. Over his last four appearances, the center has seen 16.9 minutes per contest with averages of 5.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 blocks.

JANUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Sees 27 minutes in win Richardson closed with 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), one rebound and four assists over 27 minutes during Sunday's 135-127 victory over the Pacers.

Impact This was a solid showing for Richardson, as he took advantage of some extra minutes with Jalen Suggs sidelined by a MCL contusion. If Suggs continues to miss time, which wouldn't be a surprise, Richardson could be a name to monitor in deeper formats.

Second straight double-double Carter ended with 18 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-8 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and two steals across 32 minutes during Sunday's 135-127 victory over the Pacers.

Impact The 26-year-old center has double-doubles in back-to-back games, giving him six on the season. Over the last 12 contests, Carter's production has taken a slight step forward, and he's averaging 14.3 points, 8.3 boards, 2.2 assists, 1.4 threes and 0.9 steals during that span.

Big double-double in win Banchero produced 28 points (9-18 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Sunday's 135-127 victory over the Pacers.

Impact The fourth-year star topped 20 points for a fourth straight game, and the eighth time in the last 11 contests. Over that latter stretch, Banchero is averaging 22.1 points, 9.5 boards, 5.9 assists and 1.4 combined steals and blocks. He's also finding a bit of a rhythm from long range, hitting for multiple three-pointers in three of those last four contests while going 7-for-15 from beyond the arc.

JANUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Hits for 31 in Sunday's win Bane ended with 31 points (12-17 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, six assists, one block and two steals in 37 minutes during Sunday's 135-127 victory over the Pacers.

Impact The 27-year-old wing dialed up his first game with 30-plus points since Dec. 20 and the fourth time since the beginning of December. Over 16 games during that stretch, Bane is averaging 20.5 points, 4.8 boards, 4.8 assists, 2.1 threes, 0.8 blocks and 0.8 steals.

Career-high 10 dimes vs. Indiana Black logged 27 points (8-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 10 assists, three rebounds, four blocks and one steal over 36 minutes during the Magic's 135-127 win over the Pacers on Sunday.

Impact Black recorded his second double-double of the season Sunday (and third of his career), with his 10 assists marking a career high. He is the fifth player age-21 or younger in Magic franchise history with a 25/10 game, and the third-year guard is in line for an even larger workload in the short term while Jalen Suggs (knee) is sidelined. In the 12 games since entering the starting lineup Dec. 9, Black has averaged 21.2 points, 5.2 assists, 4.4 rebounds, 2.3 threes, 1.3 steals and 0.9 blocks over 34.1 minutes per game.
