Banchero is expected to be sidelined for the next four-to-six weeks due to a right high-ankle sprain, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. Banchero left during Friday's loss against the Timberwolves due to an ankle injury, and follow-up tests have confirmed a high-ankle sprain for the fifth-year forward. With an extended absence expected, the Magic will have to rely more heavily on Franz Wagner and Desmond Bane offensively, and Tristan da Silva figures to be the top candidate to enter the Magic's starting lineup for as long as Banchero is sidelined.

Banchero didn't check back in during the fourth quarter of Friday's 115-93 loss to the Timberwolves after being deemed doubtful to return. He finished with 14 points (5-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one steal across 26 minutes. Banchero exited to the locker room in the third quarter after tweaking his right ankle. He briefly returned to action in the third but didn't see the floor in the fourth due to ankle soreness. The star forward can be considered questionable for Sunday's game at New York until the Magic offer an update on his status.

Banchero is doubtful to return to Friday's game against the Timberwolves due to a sore right ankle, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports. The Magic are currently down by 20-plus points with four minutes to go in the fourth quarter, so that may be impacting Orlando's decision to hold Banchero out of the remainder of the game. For now, Banchero should be considered questionable for Sunday's game in New York.

Banchero (ankle) has checked back into Friday's game against the Timberwolves, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports. Banchero tweaked his ankle coming down from a rebound, but after getting checked up in the locker room, he's been cleared to return. He's off to a hot start, scoring 14 points on eight shots in his first 23 minutes of play.

Banchero exited Friday's game against the Timberwolves and went to the locker room after appearing to have tweaked his ankle, Philip Rossman-Reich of OrlandoMagicDaily.com reports. Banchero appeared to tweak his ankle when he and Jalen Suggs went crashing in for a rebound early in the third quarter, and the former departed straight to the locker room. Losing Banchero would be huge for Orlando, as he scored 14 points on 6-for-7 shooting before leaving. If he doesn't return, Tristan da Silva could be in line for a bigger role in the frontcourt.
