Magic's Wendell Carter: Efficient in loss
Carter finished Saturday's 132-120 loss to New York with 14 points (4-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds, four steals and two assists in 35 minutes.
Carter provided another efficient performance Saturday and was one of five Magic players to score in double figures, recording 14 points for a second consecutive contest. The big man also tallied a game- and season-best four steals, doubling his previous season high in swipes. Carter has scored in double figures in back-to-back outings following a three-game stretch in which he totaled 20 points. He has grabbed at least six rebounds in each of those five appearances.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Bounces back in victory
Carter supplied 14 points (6-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt), 10 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 31 minutes during Tuesday's 117-108 victory over the Heat.
After scoring eight points on 2-of-8 shooting during Sunday's loss to New York, Carter bounced back and delivered an extremely efficient performance in Tuesday's NBA Cup quarterfinals win. The big man also grabbed a game-high mark in rebounds, securing his first double-double since Nov. 18 and fourth on the campaign. While the 26-year-old isn't guaranteed to score in double figures on a nightly basis, his efficiency against Miami is encouraging after he shot just 31.8 percent from the field in his last three appearances.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Quiet in loss
Carter recorded eight points (2-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds and three assists across 33 minutes during Sunday's 106-100 loss to the Knicks.
This was a mild effort for Carter as the Magic picked up their second loss over their last three games. Carter's fantasy appeal remains limited to late-round territory -- through 23 regular-season games, he's averaging 11.6 points, 7.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.7 blocks and 0.6 steals.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Strong showing in win
Carter finished Monday's 125-120 win over the Bulls with 17 points (6-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 30 minutes.
Carter has made a three-pointer in all but one of his last seven games, averaging 12.4 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.9 blocks in that span while shooting 54.7 percent from the field and 47.4 percent from three. He has been very efficient with the ball in his hands, possibly due to open looks generated by his teammates, but Carter has shown that he can be a strong fantasy player and should be rostered in most formats.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Removed from injury report
Carter (ankle) is off the injury report for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.
Carter sat out Sunday's game against the Celtics with an ankle sprain, but the injury has proven to be of minimal concern. He's averaged 12.3 points, 7.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 29.9 minutes per tilt across 17 games this season. Orlando Robinson is likely to return to the bench Tuesday.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Won't play Sunday
Carter (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Celtics, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Carter will miss his first game of the season in the second half of the back-to-back Sunday while battling a left ankle sprain. In his absence, the Magic will likely turn to Goga Bitadze to start at center.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Questionable Sunday
Carter (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Celtics.
Carter is dealing with a left ankle sprain that leaves his availability uncertain for the Magic's second half of the back-to-back Sunday. The center has started all 17 games this season, and if he's unable to go, Goga Bitadze would be the likely candidate to draw a spot start.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Double-doubles vs. Golden State
Carter logged 17 points (5-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Orlando's 121-113 win over Golden State on Tuesday.
Carter led both teams with 12 boards (including four on the offensive glass), which were his most since Nov. 1 against the Wizards. It was the fourth double-double of the season for Carter, who is now averaging 12.7 points, 7.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.9 blocks and 0.7 steals over 30.3 minutes per game to open the 2025-26 regular season.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Swats season-high four shots
Carter contributed 15 points (5-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists, four blocks and one steal in 37 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 117-113 overtime loss to the Rockets.
The four swats are a season high for Carter, who also filled the box score Sunday. The veteran big man has been a solid fantasy option in 2025-26, and he should be rostered in the majority of leagues. Carter has averaged 12.4 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 0.9 blocks in 29.9 minutes per contest through 14 games this season, and he's shooting 52.7 percent from the floor.

Carter racked up 19 points (8-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and two blocks over 30 minutes during Monday's 115-112 victory over the Trail Blazers.
Carter put together his best scoring game of the young campaign, beating his previous top mark of 18 points, which he reached Friday against Boston and Oct. 30 against Charlotte. He nearly secured his third double-double of the year, falling just one board shy. Carter has now scored in double figures in six straight matchups.

Carter closed with 12 points (4-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 32 minutes during Sunday's 111-107 loss to the Celtics.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Posts strong double-double
Carter collected 16 points (7-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt), 12 rebounds and two blocks in 28 minutes during Saturday's 125-94 win over the Wizards.
Carter looked sharp on the offensive end, knocking down 70.0 percent of his tries from the field while continuing to find success from beyond the arc. The Duke product has now drilled two or more triples in three straight matchups. Carter hasn't been overly impressive in the scoring column so far this year, but he's come alive of late, posting 18 and now 16 points in back-to-back games.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Strong line in win
Carter closed with 18 points (6-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one block in 27 minutes during Thursday's 123-107 win over Charlotte.
Carter put up a season-high 18 points in the win, helping the Magic improve to 2-4 on the season. Apart from a dud in his previous outing against Detroit in which he fouled out in 15 minutes, Carter has been solid this campaign. Through six games, he's averaging 10.5 points, 8.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.0 steals, 0.7 blocks and 1.2 three-pointers in 27.9 minutes per contest.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Serviceable performance Friday
Carter provided 10 points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-11 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals across 31 minutes during Friday's 111-107 loss to the Hawks.
Carter put together another decent performance, falling two rebounds short of a double-double. While he certainly hasn't set the world on fire with his early-season production, the signs are encouraging. He is firmly penciled in as the starting center, and to this point, Goga Bitadze hasn't done much to press his case. The upside is somewhat limited, but as long as his role is secure, Carter should be able to hold backend value in standard leagues.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Nears double-double in win
Carter posted nine points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-5 FT), eight rebounds, an assist, a steal and a block over 30 minutes in Wednesday's 125-121 victory over Miami.
Carter led the team with five offensive rebounds and played 11 more minutes than fellow big man Goga Bitadze. Once Moritz Wagner (knee) returns, however, there is no guarantee that Carter will retain this kind of usage, but in the meantime, Carter provides value that fantasy managers should monitor moving forward.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Double-doubles in win
Carter finished with 20 points (6-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 8-9 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists and one block across 21 minutes during Friday's 128-98 preseason win over the 76ers.
Carter put on a show in only 21 minutes on the floor Friday. The Duke product led the way for his squad in points and rebounds, finishing with the only double-double of the game while helping lead his team to a 30-point blowout win.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Efficient in limited run Saturday
Carter contributed 10 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and two blocks across 13 minutes in Saturday's 126-118 preseason win over the Heat.
Carter was one of six Magic players to score double-digit points and one of three to record multiple blocks. The 26-year-old center is coming off a down season in which his usage rate dropped to a career-low 16.1 percent, and that trend may continue with Desmond Bane now in the mix. Carter averaged 9.1 points, 7.2 rebounds and 2.0 assists across 25.9 minutes per game in a career-high 68 regular-season appearances (51 starts) in the 2024-25 campaign.
