Penda (hamstring) isn't listed on the Magic's injury report for Sunday's preseason game against Cleveland.

Penda missed the preseason opener after tweaking his hamstring in late September. He's been involved in recent practices, though it wouldn't be surprising to see the Magic limit his minutes during his first game back.

Isaac (personal, knee) is out for Sunday's preseason game against the Cavaliers, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Isaac has been dealing with a left knee injury throughout camp, but he will miss a second straight preseason game due to personal reasons. His next chance to suit up comes Wednesday against the Cavaliers.

Da Silva will start Sunday's preseason game against the Cavaliers, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

With Desmond Bane getting the night off for rest purposes, da Silva will join the first unit. Over 25 minutes in Wednesday's preseason-opening win over the Grizzlies, he provided 19 points, five rebounds, two assists and one steal.

Black (ankle) is out for Sunday's preseason game against the Cavaliers, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Black was a full participant in Friday's practice, but he is still not ready to make his preseason debut due to a right ankle sprain. His next opportunity to suit up comes Wednesday against the Cavaliers.

Bane (rest) has been ruled out for Sunday's preseason game versus Cleveland, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Bane will sit out Orlando's second exhibition game for rest purposes. The 28-year-old swingman's next opportunity to suit up in the preseason will come in Tuesday's rematch against the Cavaliers.

Suggs is out for Sunday's preseason game against the Cavaliers, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Suggs has been dealing with an illness lately, and although he has made progress in his recovery, he is not yet ready to play. His next chance to suit up comes Tuesday against the Cavaliers.

Anderson (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's preseason game against Milwaukee.

Anderson will miss a second straight game due to a left ankle sprain. His next chance to suit up will come in Wednesday's exhibition against the Celtics.

Allen will not play in Sunday's preseason game against the Bucks due to right knee soreness.

Allen performed well in the Hornets' opening preseason game, posting 13 points in 14 minutes, but he will miss Sunday's contest with a knee injury. Sion James and Royce O'Neale could see extra action with Allen out of the lineup.

Miller (shin) will play in Sunday's preseason game against the Bucks.

Miller missed Tuesday's preseason-opening loss to the Nets due to a shin contusion, though he'll suit up for Sunday's contest. With the 23-year-old swingman back in action, Liam McNeeley could slide to the second unit, though Grayson Allen's (knee) spot in the first unit is up for grabs.

Sheppard mustered two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one assist, one rebound and one steal in 16 minutes during Saturday's 119-117 preseason loss to the Hawks.

After scoring 13 points on 4-of-9 shooting in Wednesday's preseason-opening win over Minnesota, Shepard was far less productive Saturday. The 25-year-old guard provided a muted impact on offense but recorded his third steal of the preseason. He'll face competition for playing time from Kelly Oubre, Quenton Jackson and Jarace Walker to begin the regular season.
