• Magic's Anthony Black: Paces scoring attack

  20H ago • By RotoWire

  Black provided 23 points (8-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), one rebound, three assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Thursday's 105-99 loss to Oklahoma City. Black turned in his best scoring performance through 29 games this season and did so in an impressive fashion. Jalen Suggs picked up an ankle injury and was held out for much of the second half, which opened up the floor for an uptick in opportunities on the offensive end for Black, who could slot in as the team's starting point guard if Suggs is forced to miss additional time.

• Magic's Anthony Black: Strong two-way performance

  10D ago • By RotoWire

  Black registered 17 points (6-12 FG, 5-8 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 114-109 loss to the Bucks. Black logged a season-high 32 minutes, turning in one of his better performances of the season. With both Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner sidelined due to oblique injuries, Black has an opportunity to step into a larger role, at least for another week or two. While he has increased his production across multiple categories this season, consistency remains an issue.

• Magic's Anthony Black: Game-high seven assists off bench

  16D ago • By RotoWire

  Black finished Wednesday's 106-102 win over the 76ers with 10 points (5-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt), five rebounds and seven assists in 30 minutes. It was Black's first time in double scoring figures since a Nov. 25 win over Charlotte, and his seven assists were his most since a Nov. 20 loss to the Clippers. The former first-rounder remains fairly raw offensively, so his production can be erratic, but he's clearly starting to pull away from Cole Anthony as head coach Jamahl Mosley's preferred backup point guard. Over his last 10 contests, Black is averaging 8.6 points, 3.7 assists, 2.2 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 0.8 three-pointers in 23.0 minutes per game. He should continue to orchestrate Orlando's second unit on offense and play disruptive defense off the bench going forward.

• Magic's Anthony Black: Starts in second half Saturday

  27D ago • By RotoWire

  Black ended Saturday's 111-100 win over the Pistons with 11 points (3-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound, five assists and two steals across 32 minutes. Black started in the second half of Saturday's game after Jalen Suggs suffered a hamstring injury in the first quarter. Black scored seven of his 11 points in the second half, and he could be inserted into the Magic's starting lineup against the Hornets on Monday if Suggs is unable to play.

• Magic's Anthony Black: Tallies season-high four steals

  11/14/2024 • By RotoWire

  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.
