Magic's Wendell Carter: Records double-double
Carter finished with 10 points (3-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 11 rebounds, one block and one steal in 35 minutes during Thursday's 121-117 win over the Kings.
Carter didn't have his best shooting performance, particularly considering that he plays near the rim as a center, but he still posted a decent output. This was his first double-double since March 12, when he had 19 points and 11 rebounds in a win over the Wizards, and his fifth since the All-Star break. It's worth noting that Carter has now scored in double digits in each of his last nine appearances as well.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Productive again despite loss
Carter contributed 15 points (4-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 29 minutes before fouling out of Tuesday's 136-131 loss to the Cavaliers.
Carter continues to play a pivotal role for the Magic, despite the fact that he has yet to really blow up. He has been one of the more underrated players this season, quietly going about his business with very little fanfare. Through 68 games, he has been a top-70 player in nine-category leagues, averaging 11.9 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.0 three-pointers.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Cleared to face Lakers
Carter (ribs) is available for Saturday's game against the Lakers.
Carter will shed a questionable tag to play in Saturday's contest. He had been dealing with a bruised left rib. Carter's return will likely push Goga Bitadze back to the second unit.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Questionable for Saturday
Carter (ribs) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Lakers.
Carter remains day-to-day after missing Thursday's game against the Hornets. If Orlando's starting center misses another contest, the Magic will likely lean on Goga Bitadze and Moritz Wagner.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Ruled out Thursday
Carter is out for Thursday's game against the Hornets due to a left rib contusion.
After being absent from the initial injury report, Carter has been scratched from the lineup altogether Thursday. The veteran big man can be deemed day-to-day ahead of Saturday's showdown with the Lakers. Goga Bitadze and Moritz Wagner should split the center minutes versus Charlotte, putting both in the deep-league streaming mix.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Sniffs double-double
Carter produced 15 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds and two assists over 35 minutes during Saturday's 121-117 victory over the Heat.
Carter ended just two rebounds shy of posting what would've been his third consecutive double-double. The big man continues to find ways to produce on the offensive end for the Magic, and it would be fair to say he's been performing as the team's third-best option behind the duo of Paolo Banchero and Desmond Bane with Franz Wagner (ankle) and Anthony Black (abdomen) out. Carter has scored in double figures in eight of his last 10 games, reaching the 15-point mark six times in that span.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Records double-double
Carter contributed 19 points (8-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals in 34 minutes during Thursday's 136-131 overtime victory over the Wizards.
In a game where Paolo Banchero wasn't at his best, Carter was one of several Orlando players who stepped up, and the big man made his presence felt on both ends of the court. Aside from notching a double-double, his four steals-plus-blocks were his highest mark in those categories since Jan. 18, when he also had two steals and two swats against the Grizzlies. This was Carter's second consecutive double-double and fourth across his last nine contests.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Double-doubles in win
Carter closed Wednesday's 128-122 win over the Cavaliers with 11 points (4-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-6 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and one block across 35 minutes.
Carter stepped up in this win, helping the Magic improve to 36-28 on the season. He's been a ninth-round value in nine-category fantasy formats over his last six games, averaging 10.8 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Cleared to play Thursday
Carter (ankle) is available for Thursday's game against the Mavericks.
Carter did not play in the Magic's 126-109 win over the Wizards on Tuesday due to right ankle soreness. The veteran center has been given the green light to return Thursday, which should bump Goga Bitadze out of the Magic's starting lineup. Carter has averaged 10.7 points, 9.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists over 31.3 minutes per game since the All-Star break.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Game-time call Thursday
Carter (ankle) participated in Thursday's morning shootaround, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Carter missed Tuesday's game against the Wizards and remains day-to-day with a questionable tag. From what it sounds like, both Carter and Anthony Black (quadriceps) could be game-time calls. If Carter is unable to play, Goga Bitadze and Moritz Wagner will likely pick up the slack.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Iffy for Thursday
Carter is questionable for Thursday's game against Dallas with a sore left ankle.
Carter is in danger of missing consecutive outings with the ailment. Goga Bitadze would likely start at center if Carter is out again, with Moritz Wagner filling out the backup minutes in this case.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Won't go Tuesday
Carter (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Wizards, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Carter was a late addition to the injury report due to left ankle soreness and will miss his first game since Jan. 11. With the big man sidelined, Moritz Wagner and Jonathan Isaac are candidates for increased minutes, while Goga Bitadze could enter the rotation. Carter's next opportunity to play will come Thursday against Dallas.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Late addition to injury report
Carter is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Wizards due to left ankle soreness.
Carter was added to the injury report 90 minutes ahead of tipoff, so the issue appears to have popped up at the last second. He's appeared in 19 straight games for the Magic, and he'll presumably need to prove his health during warmups to extend this streak.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Plays hero in Tuesday's win
Carter supplied 20 points (9-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds and two assists over 36 minutes during Tuesday's 110-109 victory over the Lakers.
The double-double was his second straight and seventh of the season, and Carter's final bucket was his biggest as he grabbed a loose ball under the net and put it home for the game-winning points. The 26-year-old center has pulled down double-digit boards in four of the last five games, averaging 10.0 points, 11.0 rebounds and 2.4 assists during that stretch.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Double-double in Sunday's win
Carter chipped in 15 points (6-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 14 rebounds and three assists over 33 minutes during Sunday's 111-109 victory over the Clippers.
The double-double was the seventh of the season for Carter and his first since Jan. 4, while the 14 boards were a season high. The 26-year-old center has grabbed more than 10 rebounds in three of the last four games, but it's his offense that's been lagging -- he scored in single digits in eight straight games to begin February. On the month, Carter is averaging 6.7 points, 8.3 boards, 1.8 assists and 1.2 steals in 26.6 minutes a contest while shooting a miserable 34.4 percent from the floor.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Will play Monday
Carter (ankle) will play in Monday's game against the Bucks, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Carter is dealing with left ankle soreness, but he's overcoming a questionable designation Monday. There's no word of any minutes restriction for the veteran center. Carter has been quiet as of late, averaging 6.5 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.0 assists in 23.3 minutes per game across his last four contests.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Downgraded to questionable
Carter is questionable for Monday's game against the Bucks with left ankle soreness.
Carter is likely to test out his ankle before the Magic determine his playing status Monday. Moritz Wagner would likely step into the starting lineup if Carter can't play, with Goga Bitadze figuring to move into the backup center role in this case.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Chips in 23 points in win
Carter finished Friday's 130-120 win over Toronto with 23 points (9-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT) seven rebounds, three assists and one steal over 35 minutes.
Carter scored 15 of his 23 points across the second and third quarters of Friday's game and finished as the Magic's third-leading scorer behind Desmond Bane (32 points) and Anthony Black (25 points). It was Carter's third 20-plus-point performance of the season and his highest scoring output since Dec. 18 against the Nuggets (26 points). He has averaged 12.5 points, 6.9 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.3 threes and 0.8 blocks over 29.8 minutes per game since Jan. 2.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Muted effort in loss
Carter accumulated nine points (4-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist and one block across 33 minutes during Monday's 114-98 loss to the Cavaliers.
Carter continues to be a hit-or-miss fantasy asset for Orlando. Overall this season, Carter has appeared in 43 games and has produced ninth-round value in nine-category formats with 12.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 0.8 blocks and 1.2 three-pointers in 30.1 minutes.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Productive in London game
Carter racked up 18 points (6-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two steals in 33 minutes during Sunday's 126-109 loss to the Grizzlies in London.
For the first time this season, Carter produced multiple blocks and steals in the same game, and the four made three-pointers also tied his season high. The 26-year-old center has scored at least 13 points in five of his seven games in January, averaging 13.3 points, 8.0 boards, 2.9 assists, 1.3 threes and 1.0 blocks on the month so far.
