  • Magic's Anthony Black: Starting Sunday

    Black is in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

    Black is set for his 31st start of the season, and he's averaged 5.1 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists in 0.6 steals in 21.3 minutes per game over his previous starts this year. He is joined by Jalen Suggs, Franz Wagner, Wendell Carter and Goga Bitadze in the first unit on a night when Orlando is down Paolo Banchero (illness) and Gary Harris (calf).

  • Magic's Anthony Black: Not in starting lineup

    Black isn't starting Thursday's game against the Cavaliers, Dan Savage of the Magic's official site reports.

    Black drew a start in Orlando's final game before the All-Star break and logged four points, two rebounds, two assists and a steal in 23 minutes. However, he'll retreat to the bench since Jalen Suggs (groin) and Gary Harris (calf) are back in action Thursday.

  • Magic's Anthony Black: Does little in spot start Wednesday

    Black finished with four points (2-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 23 minutes during Wednesday's 118-100 victory over the Knicks.

    After falling out of the rotation as of late, Black was inserted into the starting lineup Wednesday with Jalen Suggs (groin), Markelle Fultz (rest) and Gary Harris (calf) all sidelined. Black wasn't able to do much with his extended minutes, however, as most of the offensive firepower came from Franz Wagner and All-Star Paolo Banchero. Black figures to return to a deep bench role once his Magic teammates return from injuries.

  • Magic's Anthony Black: Draws start Wednesday

    Black is starting Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

    Black hasn't been part of Orlando's rotation in recent matchups, but he'll draw the start Wednesday since Markelle Fultz (rest), Gary Harris (calf) and Jalen Suggs (groin) have been ruled out. Over 29 starts this year, Black has averaged 5.1 points and 2.7 rebounds in 21.3 minutes per game.

  • Magic's Anthony Black: Efficient scorer off bench

    Black totaled 20 points (7-9 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block over 30 minutes during Monday's 131-129 loss to the Mavericks.

    Black missed just two shots from the field and delivered instant offense off the bench, but his contributions were not enough to secure the victory against a Mavericks team led by a red-hot Luka Doncic. Black has endured a fair share of struggles in his rookie year, and in fact, this was just the sixth time he scored in double digits all season long. He's averaging just 6.3 points per game when deployed off the bench, so it wouldn't be surprising if this was just an odd explosive outing for him.

  • Magic's Anthony Black: Back to bench

    Black won't start Friday's game against the Grizzlies.

    As expected, Black will return to the bench in favor of Markelle Fultz, who's returning to action after missing Monday's loss to Cleveland due to rest. In 11 games as a reserve, Black has averaged 5.6 points, 1.7 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.3 steals-plus-blocks in 15.4 minutes per game.

  • Magic's Anthony Black: Joins starting lineup

    Black is starting Monday's game against Cleveland.

    Black has come off the bench in eight of his last nine appearances, but he'll make his 29th start of the season Monday due to Markelle Fultz (rest) being out. Black has averaged 5.0 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 21.4 minutes per game over his previous starts this year.

  • Magic's Anthony Black: Won't start after all

    Black isn't starting Monday's game against the Knicks.

    A previous report had Black returning to the starting lineup in place of Chuma Okeke, but Orlando will stick with the same first five they've had the previous four games, meaning Jalen Suggs, Caleb Houstan, Paolo Banchero and Goga Bitadze will start alongside Okeke. Black posted 13 points in 33 minutes off the bench during a losing effort versus Oklahoma City on Saturday, but he's still averaging just 4.2 points per game over his last four appearances as a reserve.

  • Magic's Anthony Black: Returns to starting lineup

    Black will start Monday's game against the Knicks, Philip Rossman-Reich of OrlandoMagicDaily.com reports.

    From Nov. 4 through Jan. 5, Black started 28 of 30 games, averaging 5.3 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 21.4 minutes during that stretch. He operated off the bench in each of the last four games, and after three poor outings, he posted 13 points, four rebounds, a steal and a block in 33 minutes against the Thunder on Saturday. He'll look to build off that momentum versus New York. In a corresponding move, Chuma Okeke will head to the bench.

  • Magic's Anthony Black: Available off bench

    Black (illness) is available but will operate off the bench during Sunday's game against the Hawks.

    Black might still be under the weather, so he'll shift to a reserve role, while Chuma Okeke and Caleb Houstan start alongside Jalen Suggs, Paolo Banchero and Goga Bitadze. Black has made five appearances as a reserve this season, averaging 6.4 points in 13.4 minutes per game.

  • Magic's Anthony Black: Iffy for Sunday

    Black (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Hawks.

    Black is in danger of missing Sunday's contest due to a non-COVID illness that caused him to leave Friday's game early. If the rookie guard is ruled out, Cole Anthony will likely receive increased playing time.

  • Magic's Anthony Black: Exits with illness

    Black (illness) won't return to Friday's game versus Denver. He finished scoreless (0-1 FG) with one assist in five minutes.

    Black carried a questionable tag into Friday's game due to the illness before getting the green light to play. However, he didn't look right during his time on the court and lasted just five minutes before subbing himself out for good. Presumably, Black tried his best to give it a go Friday with the Magic having only nine available players prior to the opening tip. He should be considered questionable for Sunday's game versus Atlanta.
