Magic's Wendell Carter: Very efficient Monday
Carter racked up 19 points (8-11 FG, 3-3 3Pt), two rebounds, four assists and one steal across 26 minutes during Monday's 103-94 win over New York.
Carter continues to play off the bench despite the Magic being very thin in the frontcourt, but he made his presence felt as a scorer Monday. Carter seems to be trending in the right direction and could be a solid streaming option regardless of his role, as he's scored in double digits in four of his last five outings.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Not starting Friday
Carter is not in the Magic's starting lineup for Friday's game against the Raptors.
Carter has started in the last two games and has averaged 14.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.0 steals over 30.5 minutes per game over that span. However, he will retreat to the bench Friday while Caleb Houstan enters the starting lineup for the first time this season.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Comes close to double-double
Carter produced 15 points (7-15 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 105-96 loss to Detroit.
Carter finished just two rebounds away from recording what would've been his third double-double of the season. He's scored in double digits in his last two starts, and he should remain in that role going forward due to the Magic's lack of depth in the frontcourt, or at least until Paolo Banchero (oblique) is ready to return.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Reaches double figures in start
Carter produced 13 points (6-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-4 FT), six rebounds and one assist across 27 minutes during Sunday's 102-101 win over the Nets.
Carter returned to the Magic starting lineup due to numerous injuries on the roster and put forth a balanced effort Sunday while finishing as one of five players with a double-digit point total. Carter has tallied at least 10 points and five rebounds in seven contests this season. Look for Carter to continue to get extended playing time as Orlando aims to get healthy.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Back in starting lineup
Carter will start Sunday's game against the Nets.
After three games off the bench, Carter will move back into the starting lineup, as the Magic will be without Anthony Black (back), Paolo Banchero (oblique), Franz Wagner (oblique) and Moritz Wagner (knee). As a starter this season, Carter has averaged 7.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.4 steals-plus-blocks in 25.5 minutes per game.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Balanced outing in return to bench
Carter racked up 11 points (5-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt), seven rebounds, four assists and two blocks across 27 minutes during Monday's 108-104 win over the Celtics.
Carter returned the Magic bench due to Trevelin Queen entering the starting five, but still made a strong impact while leading all bench players in scoring, rebounds, assists and blocks in a winning effort. Carter has reached double figures in scoring in six outings this season, adding seven or more boards in every one of those contests.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Bumped to bench
Carter won't start Monday's game against the Celtics.
Carter will come off the bench for the first time this season, yielding to Trevelin Queen in the starting five. With Moritz Wagner (knee) out for the season, the Magic could opt to stagger Carter and Goga Bitadze's playing time moving forward to preserve center depth. Despite coming off the bench, expect Carter to see a significant workload Monday.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Ejected Saturday
Carter was ejected from Saturday's game against the Heat after being assessed two technical fouls in the second quarter. He finished the game with five points (2-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), a rebound, an assist and a block across 13 minutes.
The Magic saw Moritz Wagner (knee) depart earlier in the game with a non-contact knee injury, and now Carter is gone, so they'll be extremely thin in terms of depth at center. This means Goga Bitadze and Jonathan Isaac will see even more minutes in the frontcourt.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Shows signs of life
Carter contributed 10 points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-9 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists and one block over 30 minutes during Thursday's 105-99 loss to the Thunder.
Carter secured his first double-double since Oct. 28 despite a rough shooting night from the field. It's been a struggle for the Duke product to produce on a consistent basis, and it's clear that the team's starting center, Goga Bitadze, is performing at a higher level across the board at this point in the season. Even so, perhaps Thursday's showing will be a stepping stone to a hot stretch for the 25-year-old, who has yet to live up to expectations this year.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Passive performance in loss
Carter notched eight points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 34 minutes before fouling out of Tuesday's 114-109 loss to Milwaukee.
Carter continues to play a passive role on the offensive end of the floor, having now scored in single digits in five straight games. Since returning from injury, Carter has been forced to play at the power forward position alongside Goga Bitadze. While Bitadze continues to play some of the best basketball of his career, Carter has been relatively disappointing.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Plays alongside Bitadze in return
Carter (foot) recorded four points (2-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block across 18 minutes in Wednesday's 133-119 win over the Bulls.
Back in action after missing the previous 12 games due to left foot plantar fasciitis, Carter reclaimed a spot in the starting five, but he was operating under a minutes limit. Unlike his previous six starts of the season, Carter was deployed at power forward while Goga Bitadze retained a spot on the top unit at center. It's unclear if the Magic plan to move forward with the two-center starting five for the duration of Paolo Banchero's (oblique) absence, as Carter didn't provide Orlando with much floor spacing by going 0-for-3 from downtown. Regardless of how head coach Jamahl Mosley elects to structure his lineups in future games, Carter will likely see at least a slight uptick in playing time as he becomes further removed from the foot issue.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Starting, on minutes limit
Carter (foot) will start Wednesday's game against the Bulls but will be on a limit of roughly 14-to-16 minutes, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Carter has missed nearly a month with left foot plantar fasciitis. Even though he'll be limited in his first game back, it's encouraging that he's with the starters. In five appearances prior to his injury, Carter averaged 8.8 points, 10.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.2 steals in 29.8 minutes. His return will most likely result in reduced roles for Moritz Wagner and Goga Bitadze.

Magic's Wendell Carter: To see limited minutes
Carter (foot) will play roughly 14-16 minutes Wednesday against the Bulls, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Coach Jamahl Mosley mentioned the need for a cautious approach with Carter's workload, as he's missed the past 12 games due to plantar fasciitis. Carter's minutes should gradually increase going forward, though it's unclear if he'll move back into the starting lineup soon.

Carter (foot) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Bulls.
Carter is cleared to suit up for the first time since Nov. 3. Given his lengthy layoff, the big man will likely face heavy restrictions during his return to game action.

Carter (foot) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Charlotte.

Carter (foot) is listed as questionable for Monday's matchup against the Hornets.
