• Magic's Anthony Black: Logs team-high 17 points from bench

  1D ago • By RotoWire

  Black ended Wednesday's 104-93 loss to the Clippers with 17 points (5-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-9 FT), eight assists and one block in 29 minutes. Black is getting increased court time and production due to a few factors. Cole Anthony is his only real competition for backup minutes, and the sluggish play from Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has forced the team to provide more spark from the second unit. Black's upward trend could result in a major lineup change for the Magic if Caldwell-Pope is unable to recover from his production tailspin.

  Black contributed six points (2-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, six assists, one block and four steals over 25 minutes during Wednesday's 94-90 win over the Pacers. Despite not being a volume scorer, Black continues to make a positive impact off Orlando's bench. The second-year guard's four steals were a season high, and he also tied his most assists in a game this year with six. Across his 13 appearances in 2024-25, Black is averaging 7.9 points, 4.2 assists, 3.1 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 24.6 minutes.

Black played the second-most minutes behind Paolo Banchero for Orlando in Wednesday's win as the Magic started to pull away from the Heat in the second half.

• Magic's Anthony Black: Solid display off bench

  10/10/2024 • By RotoWire

  Black finished with 11 points (3-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds and an assist across 19 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's 107-97 preseason loss to the Spurs. Black was one of two Orlando players who scored in double digits in this loss, with Jett Howard, who delivered a team-high 19 points, being the other. Black has shown glimpses of his quality in Orlando's first two preseason games. Still, and regardless of how good he looks in these games, he's ticketed to open the season as a depth option in the backcourt since Jalen Suggs and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope will be the starting duo at the one and two, respectively.
