Sabrina Ionescu - Won't play in Unrivaled Ionescu won't play in the 2026 Unrivaled season due to an injury sustained during this past WNBA season, per ESPN.com.

Impact The severity of the injury is unclear, but it appears to be significant enough to keep Ionescu from participating in the Unrivaled league this winter. There doesn't appear to be any indication that the star guard will need to miss time during the upcoming WNBA season, but her status will be worth monitoring ahead of training camp this spring.

Moritz Wagner - Light minutes in season debut Wagner (knee) registered eight points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 10 minutes in Sunday's 128-118 win over the Pelicans.

Impact Wagner made his season debut Sunday, after he had been sidelined for the Magic's first 39 games of the campaign while completing his recovery from Jan. 8, 2025 surgery to repair a torn ACL in his left knee. Before he sustained the knee injury last season, Wagner had been regularly serving as the top backup to Wendell Carter, who missed Sunday's game due to a right hip strain. As a result, Goga Bitadze moved into the starting five Sunday, but it's unclear if the Magic will have room in the rotation for both Bitadze and Wagner once Carter is back to full health. Even if Wagner continues to maintain a regular role on the second unit, the Magic are likely to ramp him up slowly coming off the major knee injury.

Goga Bitadze - Double-double in Sunday's start Bitadze ended Sunday's 128-118 win over the Pelicans with 14 points (7-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt), 13 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and three steals in 32 minutes.

Impact With Wendell Carter (hip) ruled out, Bitadze made his first start of the season and played a season high in minutes, and he responded with his first double-double. The 26-year-old center hadn't played more than 20 minutes since Oct. 29 however, and unless Carter's injury proved to be more serious than expected, Bitadze will have a hard time following up this performance, especially with Moritz Wagner (knee) also back and looking for minutes in the frontcourt.

Paolo Banchero - Teases triple-double Sunday Banchero finished Sunday's 128-118 victory over the Pelicans with 23 points (7-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 9-10 FT), eight rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal over 39 minutes.

Impact The eight assists represented Banchero's best distribution numbers in January, while the fourth-year forward scored more than 20 points for the sixth time in the last eight games. Over that span, he's averaging 24.0 points, 10.0 boards, 6.3 assists, 1.1 threes and 0.9 blocks.

Anthony Black - Productive in Sunday's win Black produced 26 points (9-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 5-7 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and three steals across 36 minutes during Sunday's 128-118 win over the Pelicans.

Impact The third-year guard scored 20-plus points for the ninth time in the last 14 games, while the three steals represented Black's best defensive effort since Nov. 28. Over that 14-game stretch, Black is averaging 20.7 points, 5.1 assists, 4.3 boards, 2.4 threes and 1.4 steals.

Desmond Bane - Pops for game-high 27 Bane finished Sunday's 128-118 victory over the Pelicans with 27 points (9-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 8-8 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two steals across 35 minutes.

Impact The 27 points led all scorers on the afternoon, as Bane topped 20 points for the third time in six January contests. Over that stretch, the former Grizzly is averaging 19.8 points, 4.2 boards, 4.2 assists, 1.5 threes and 1.2 steals.
