Franz Wagner Franz Wagner with 26 and 11 assists in win
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 4:51 PM
Franz Wagner with 26 points (8-of-18 FGs, 8-of-9 FTs), five rebounds, eleven assists, a steal, two steals, and four turnovers on Friday.
Analysis: The assists were a massive boost to his performance and should be a boost to your fantasy team, especially at this part of the week. With Paolo out, he has the opportunity to show what he can do, and see if there's some untapped upside that he didn't get to show with Paolo there. A lot of his upside will be dependent on the 3-point shot and he hasn't shot it well up to this point in the season. |
Desmond Bane Desmond Bane with a bounce back 28 and 6 assists
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 4:47 PM
Desmond Bane had 28 points (8-of-18 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), two rebounds, six assists, a block and six 3-pointers in 121-114 win against the Raptors.
Analysis: After struggling against the Raptors on Wednesday, he played much better and hit 50% of his 3-pointers in this game. He hit all of his free throws and it was good to see him get back to where he was last season. Hopefully you didn't panic if you had him. He won't score 28 points every game but he will be much better than where he was. |
Anthony Black Anthony Black had 17/6/10 in win over the Raptors
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 4:43 PM
Anthony Black had a big 17 points (5-of-8 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), six rebounds, 10 assists, a block and three 3-pointers in win over the Raptors on Friday.
Analysis: While Black has been listed at the small forward when they list the starting lineups, he's effectively the point guard on offense and a wing on defense. He's proven that he can be a starting point guard in the NBA and in dynasty leagues, his value is very secure. In redraft leagues, if he's on your waiver wire, he should be worth grabbing until Jalen Suggs comes back. |

Desmond Bane Desmond Bane goes shoots 21% in loss to Raptors
Wed, Oct 28, 2026, 4:28 PM
Desmond Bane put up 13 points (3-of-14 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), five rebounds, four assists, a steal, two blocks, and two 3-pointers in 99-129 loss to Raptors.
Analysis: It was a bad night for Bane as he couldn't get shots to fall against the Raptors. Bane in the past two seasons has shot 48.4% from the field, but he hasn't shot very well this season. There is a good track record to indicate that there will be a bounce back from Bane and to not panic too much about his efficiency. He at least got you five rebounds and four assists to give you some value. |
Tristan da Silva Tristan Da Silva scores 20 points in 30 minutes
Wed, Oct 28, 2026, 4:25 PM
Tristan Da Silva with 20 points (8-of-10 FGs, 0-of-3 FTs), three rebounds, an assist, and four 3-pointers in 30 minutes off the bench against Raptors.
Analysis: Anthony Black didn't have it tonight, so Da Silva got some more extended run and did not disappoint. He's not someone that is inherently a scorer, but he was hitting shots tonight when not many other people on the Magic were scoring against the Raptors. He's a points and 3-point streamer if you're looking for it in but he won't shoot as efficiently as he did most nights. |

Franz Wagner Franz Wagner puts up 15/4/5 in loss to the Raptors
Wed, Oct 28, 2026, 4:23 PM
Franz Wagner had 15 points (4-of-11 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), four rebounds, five assists, and seven turnovers in blowout loss to Raptors.
Analysis: Franz was one of the only players that could get shots up in this game. The Magic struggled with efficiency as they dealt with the Raptors aggressive defense, but you can see it affected Franz with the 7 turnovers. The Magic will play the Raptors again on Friday and will get a second chance at redemption where he will look to have a better performance. |

Anthony Black ORL starts Richardson, Bane, Black, Wagner, Carter
Wed, Oct 28, 2026, 1:07 PM
Orlando Magic
Jase Richardson, Desmond Bane, Anthony Black, Franz Wagner and Wendell Carter Jr. will start Wednesday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: Already without Paolo Banchero, the Magic lost Jalen Suggs (knee) during Sunday's win over the Knicks. His absence pushes Black into the starting lineup. Also, Richardson remains in the starting lineup, but those who added Tristan da Silva recently shouldn't worry, as he'll play plenty. |

Anthony Black Anthony Black (personal) upgraded to available
Wed, Oct 28, 2026, 12:03 PM
NBA Injury Report
Anthony Black (personal) is available for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: Black missed the pregame shootaround for personal reasons, but he's good to go for Wednesday's game. With Jalen Suggs (knee) out, he'll likely start at point guard for Orlando for the foreseeable future. Make sure he isn't sitting on your league's waiver wire. |

Anthony Black Anthony Black (personal) misses shootaround
Wed, Oct 28, 2026, 4:57 AM
Jason Beede
Anthony Black (personal) missed shootaround ahead of Wednesday's game against the Raptors and is listed as questionable to play.
Analysis: The expectation is that Black will be back with the team to play, but they're still listing him as questionable. With Jalen Suggs (knee) set to miss a couple weeks, Black has a chance to start if he suits up tonight. If something changes, Jase Richardson, who is already starting, should take on more minutes. Tristan da Silva could enter the starting unit, with Franz Wagner taking on the point guard duties. |
Jalen Suggs Shams: Jalen Suggs (knee) to miss at least two weeks
Mon, Oct 26, 2026, 8:50 AM
Shams Charania
ESPN's Shams Charania reports Jalen Suggs (knee) will be re-evaluated in two weeks.
Analysis: Suggs was diagnosed with a mild bone bruise in his right knee, according to Charania. He'll be re-evaluated in two weeks. Suggs hyperextended his right knee and was helped to the locker room during the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Knicks. This is seems to be good news for Suggs, who appears to have avoided a more serious injury. |

Desmond Bane Desmond Bane scores 22 points in win over Knicks
Sun, Oct 25, 2026, 4:47 PM
Desmond Bane accounted for 22 points (6-of-13 FGs, 6-of-8 FTs), six rebounds, two assists, two blocks and four three-pointers in Sunday's win over the Knicks.
Analysis: In Orlando's first two games, Bane shot 26.9 percent from the field and 21.1 percent from beyond the arc. To say he needed a night like Sunday is an understatement. Bane shot 4-of-9 from deep, and his 22 points were one less than his total in losses to the Hawks and Timberwolves. In addition to Paolo Banchero, the Magic could be without Jalen Suggs for an extended period after he injured his right knee in the fourth quarter. As a result, they'll need more scoring from Bane. |

Tristan da Silva Tristan da Silva hits five triples, scores 19
Sun, Oct 25, 2026, 4:44 PM
Tristan da Silva recorded 19 points (7-of-13 FGs), two rebounds, two assists, one block and five three-pointers in Sunday's win over the Knicks.
Analysis: While the Magic started Jase Richardson (3 points, 1 three-pointer in 10 minutes) for the injured Paolo Banchero on Sunday, this was a prime spot for da Silva to provide greater fantasy value. That's exactly what he did: he shot 5-of-9 from three and scored 19 of Orlando's 47 bench points. The Magic also lost Jalen Suggs (knee) on Sunday, and a potential extended absence is another reason to add da Silva if he's available. |

Anthony Black Anthony Black scores 18 points in season debut
Sun, Oct 25, 2026, 4:41 PM
Anthony Black finished Sunday's win over the Knicks with 18 points (6-of-11 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, five assists, two steals and five three-pointers.
Analysis: After missing the entire preseason and Orlando's first two games with a sprained ankle, Black made his first appearance on Sunday. He was excellent, especially in the first quarter, scoring 12 points off the bench. With Paolo Banchero (ankle) likely out for 4-6 weeks and Jalen Suggs (knee) going down during the fourth quarter, Black's return came at a great time for Orlando. Even though the Magic don't play their next game until Wednesday, fantasy managers should add Black if he's sitting on the waiver wire. |

Franz Wagner Franz Wagner scores 21 fourth-quarter points
Sun, Oct 25, 2026, 4:03 PM
Franz Wagner tallied 23 points (9-of-23 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), 13 rebounds and nine assists in Sunday's win over the Knicks.
Analysis: Wagner had a rough first three quarters on Sunday, scoring two points on 1-of-10 shooting. Something changed in the fourth, as he shot 8-of-13 from the field and 5-of-5 from the foul line. Wagner scored 21 of Orlando's 40 fourth-quarter points, with the Magic delivering Sean Sweeney his first win as an NBA head coach. Orlando plays three games in Week 2, starting with the Raptors on Wednesday. With Paolo Banchero and Jalen Suggs injured, Wagner will carry even more of the offensive workload. |

Jalen Suggs Jalen Suggs (knee) helped to locker room
Sun, Oct 25, 2026, 3:30 PM
Jalen Suggs (knee) was helped back to the Magic locker room during the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Knicks.
Analysis: Suggs was driving to the basket for an uncontested layup when his right knee hyperextended. The Magic guard remained down on the court for a few minutes before being helped back to the locker room. Suggs could put some weight on his right leg, but the injury could keep him out for a while. |

Anthony Black Anthony Black (ankle) upgraded to available Sunday
Sun, Oct 25, 2026, 11:30 AM
Orlando Magic
Anthony Black (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Knicks.
Analysis: Black is set to make his first appearance of the season after missing Orlando's first two games with a sprained right ankle. It's unclear how much he'll play, but the athletic guard's return is good news for a Magic squad that lost Paolo Banchero (ankle) during Friday's loss to the Timberwolves. |

Anthony Black Anthony Black (ankle) questionable Sunday vs. NYK
Sat, Oct 24, 2026, 7:32 AM
Anthony Black (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Knicks.
Analysis: Black has missed the first two games of the season, but at least has a chance to suit up Sunday given his questionable listing. With Paolo Banchero (ankle) likely out, the Magic could certainly use Black back in the lineup. |
Paolo Banchero Shams: Paolo Banchero (ankle) could miss 4-6 weeks
Sat, Oct 24, 2026, 6:46 AM
Shams Charania
ESPN's Shams Charania reports Paolo Banchero suffered a low-grade high ankle sprain and could miss 4-to-6 weeks.
Analysis: Banchero tweaked his right ankle early in Friday's loss to the Timberwolves. The 23-year-old forward returned after going to the locker room, but the team shut him down midway through the fourth quarter. A high ankle sprain could sideline Banchero for 4-to-6 weeks, which is potentially devastating news for the 0-2 Magic. Orlando will the face the Knicks on Sunday and at this point it's unlikely Banchero suits up with Tristan da Silva being the most likely to replace him in the starting lineup. |
Wendell Carter Jr. Wendell Carter Jr. scores game-high 20 points
Fri, Oct 23, 2026, 3:40 PM
Wendell Carter Jr. amassed 20 points (8-of-9 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), nine rebounds, one assist, two blocks and three three-pointers in Friday's loss to the Timberwolves.
Analysis: The offseason signing of Nikola Vu?evi? hasn't hurt Carter's playing time, as Vooch has been third in Orlando's center pecking order in the first two games. After logging 31 minutes in Wednesday's loss to the Hawks, Carter played 29 minutes against the Timberwolves and led the Magic in points, rebounds, blocks, and three-pointers. He's never been a great fantasy option, especially in category leagues, but Carter's start to the season has been encouraging. |

Desmond Bane Desmond Bane struggles vs. Minnesota, fouls out
Fri, Oct 23, 2026, 3:39 PM
Desmond Bane accounted for five points (2-of-11 FGs), two rebounds, one steal and one three-pointer in Friday's loss to the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Bane had a night to forget, struggling on both ends of the floor before fouling out with 10:31 remaining in the fourth quarter. The Magic guard shot 1-of-9 from beyond the arc and offered little value beyond his lone steal. Given his track record, fantasy managers who are rostering Bane shouldn't panic over one performance. He'll look to bounce back on Sunday when the Magic visit the Knicks. |
