Kel'el Ware - Available to play Ware (hamstring) is available for Thursday's game in Chicago, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.

Impact Ware saw just seven minutes off the bench in his return from a four-game absence Wednesday, so it'll be interesting to see if he's cleared for much more than that Thursday night. Ware will be a risky target in daily fantasy leagues as he works his way back from the hamstring injury.

Norman Powell - Good to go Powell (back) has been cleared to play Thursday against Chicago, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.

Impact Powell was added to the injury report as probable earlier in the day due to lower-back tightness, and he's since been given the green light to suit up. The UCLA product is averaging 18.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists over his last five appearances.

Franz Wagner - Another absence coming Wagner is out for Friday's game against the Raptors due to left ankle injury management, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Impact Wagner's absence will be a fifth straight Friday. The Magic appear to be taking a cautious approach with the star forward, who isn't taking contact in practice as he tries to get the injury fully resolved. Anthony Black has thrived in 2025-26 and remains locked into the starting lineup at least until Wagner is finally ready to return.
