Top Magic News

  • Magic's Jase Richardson: Team option picked up

    The Magic exercised Richardson's team option Wednesday, per Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel.

    This is an expected transaction after Orlando chose Richardson in the first round of last year's draft. Richardson is cleared to play through a back injury for Opening Night, but he's unlikely to play a significant role Wednesday.

  • Magic's Tristan da Silva: Team option picked up

    The Magic have exercised da Silva's fourth-year rookie-scale team option, keeping him under contract through the 2027-28 season, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

    The decision gives Orlando another year of control over the 2024 first-round pick, who has established himself as a versatile forward capable of spacing the floor. Da Silva will continue competing for minutes in a crowded Magic frontcourt, with his fantasy upside largely dependent on securing a consistent rotation role and increasing his offensive involvement.

  • Magic's Jonathan Isaac: Out for Wednesday

    Isaac (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.

    Isaac didn't play in the preseason and will sit out Wednesday's contest due to left knee injury management. His next chance to suit up will come Friday against Minnesota.

  • Magic's Anthony Black: Won't play Wednesday

    Black (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Hawks, Philip Rossman-Reich of OrlandoMagicDaily.com reports.

    Black didn't suit up in the preseason due to a sprained right ankle. He's still in the process of ramping up and will miss the team's regular-season opener, though head coach Sean Sweeney said he was moving well in Sunday's practice. The 22-year-old's next chance to play will come in Friday's game against Minnesota. In the meantime, Tristan da Silva, Jamal Cain and Jevon Carter are candidates to see increased minutes.

  • Magic's Jase Richardson: Omitted from injury report

    Richardson (back) is off the injury report for Wednesday's season opener against the Hawks.

    Richardson is cleared to play through a back injury for Opening Night. However, he's unlikely to play a significant role Wednesday.

  • Magic's Franz Wagner: Absent from injury report

    Wagner (shoulder) is off the injury report for Wednesday's season opener against the Hawks.

    Wagner dealt with a brief bout of shoulder soreness to end the preseason, but the issue proved to be of minimal concern. The star forward should be able to handle a normal workload in his season debut.

  • Magic's Anthony Black: Status still unclear

    Black (ankle) said Tuesday that he doesn't know if he will play in Wednesday's season opener against the Hawks, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

    The Magic did not come to terms with Black on a contract extension before the deadline, setting the guard up to become a restricted free agent next offseason. He said that doesn't change his perspective of the season, however. Black was unable to play in any exhibitions and remains day-to-day.

  • Magic's Franz Wagner: Expected to play Wednesday

    Wagner (shoulder) practiced in full Tuesday and is planning to play in Wednesday's game against the Hawks, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

    Orlando will release their injury report Tuesday evening ahead of Opening Night, and there's a chance Wagner may not be listed on it based on this update. For now, fantasy managers can pencil him into lineups.

  • Magic's Anthony Black: Progressing in recovery

    Black (ankle) participated in Sunday's practice, and head coach Sean Sweeney said he will continue ramping up, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

    Sweeney also added that Black looked good and was moving well in practice after sitting out the entire preseason schedule. The 22-year-old guard is set to continue ramping up in practice and can be considered questionable for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Hawks until Orlando provides an update on his status. If he needs to miss time, Jase Richardson and Jevon Carter would be candidates for increased burn.

  • Magic's Franz Wagner: Limited in Sunday's practice

    Head coach Sean Sweeney said the team will continue to evaluate Wagner's right shoulder, and he was limited to "light work" in Sunday's practice, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

    Wagner exited Friday's preseason finale due to right shoulder soreness and did not return. The severity of the issue is unclear, though the 25-year-old forward can be considered questionable for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Hawks. If he's forced to miss time, Anthony Black (ankle), Jamal Cain and Tristan da Silva would all be candidates for increased playing time.

  • Magic's Jase Richardson: Classified as day-to-day

    Richardson (back) is considered day-to-day, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

    Richardson exited Friday's 136-115 preseason win over Miami due to back soreness. While he hasn't been officially ruled out for Opening Night against Atlanta, it appears there's a chance he won't be available for that one. With Noah Penda (hamstring) ruled out and Franz Wagner (shoulder) dealing with an injury, Tristan da Silva and Anthony Black could see more minutes.

  • Magic's Noah Penda: Suffers partial hamstring tear

    Penda was diagnosed with a partially torn right hamstring Saturday, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

    Penda suffered the hamstring tear in Friday's 136-115 preseason win over the Heat. It's unknown how long the injury will keep the 21-year-old off the floor. However, since it's a different injury than the one he suffered in the same hamstring during training camp, the team may take a cautious approach regarding his return. Penda, the No. 32 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, averaged 3.8 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists over 12.8 minutes per outing in 59 regular-season games in 2025-26. While he's not expected to be a mainstay in the rotation throughout the 2026-27 campaign, his absence could open up a few minutes for Tristan da Silva.

  • Magic's Paolo Banchero: Another 24-point effort

    Banchero finished with 24 points (5-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 13-16 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one block in 26 minutes during Friday's 136-115 preseason win over Miami.

    Banchero dropped 24 points for the second straight game, impressively getting to the line 16 times. As a high-volume scorer, Banchero's inefficiency has been a major talking point throughout his career. Nights like this give us a glimpse of what he can do when his shots are falling. However, managers are right to err on the side of caution when considering him in drafts. For those in category leagues, he should be looked at in the fifth round, at the earliest.

  • Magic's Nikola Vucevic: Encouraging performance Friday

    Vucevic tallied 13 points (5-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals in 23 minutes during Friday's 136-115 preseason win over the Heat.

    Vuvevic returned after sitting out the previous preseason game, logging 23 minutes as the backup center. While it does appear as though Wendell Carter will remain the starting center in Orlando, Vucevic could still find himself playing meaningful minutes on a nightly basis. Goga Bitadze will almost certainly have something to say about that, making the center rotation a tricky one to project with any confidence.

  • Magic's Jase Richardson: Exits Friday's game early

    Richardson logged seven minutes before exiting Friday's 136-115 preseason win over the Heat due to lower-back soreness. He contributed two rebounds and two assists.

    Head coach Sean Sweeney said that Richardson will be re-evaluated after exiting Friday's contest. He can be considered questionable for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Hawks until the Magic provide an update on his status.

  • Magic's Franz Wagner: Exits with right shoulder soreness

    Wagner exited Friday's 136-115 preseason win over the Heat with right shoulder soreness and did not return, Cody Taylor of USA Today reports.

    Per Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel, head coach Sean Sweeney did not provide an update after the game, simply saying that Wagner would be "re-evaluated." For what it's worth, Wagner did return to the bench after getting ruled out for the remainder of the game, but for now, he should be considered questionable for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Hawks.
