Magic's Anthony Black: Returns to bench
Black will come off the bench for Saturday's game against the Wizards.
This is an expected move with Jalen Suggs back in the mix after a maintenance day. Black was outstanding in Thursday's win over the Hornets with 20 points (8-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, two assists, two blocks and two steals across 31 minutes.

Magic's Anthony Black: Scores 20 points with full line
Black provided 20 points (8-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, two assists, two blocks and two steals across 31 minutes during Thursday's 123-107 win over the Hornets.
Black has been heating up over the past four games, posting averages of 15.8 points on 52.4 percent shooting from the field and 72.2 percent at the stripe to go with 3.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.5 triples, 1.3 steals, 1.0 block and 3.3 turnovers per contest. He got the start Thursday with Jalen Suggs taking a rest day, so while he'll likely return to the bench his next time out, he should still be a sizable part of the rotation.

Magic's Anthony Black: Starting sans Suggs
Black will start Thursday's game against the Hornets.
Jalen Suggs will rest Thursday, opening up a place in the first unit. Last regular season, Black averaged 9.3 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.2 steals in 28.9 minutes per contest across 10 games as a starter.

Magic's Anthony Black: Team option picked up
The Magic picked up Black's fourth-year team option Wednesday, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
This was a formality as far as Orlando is concerned. This move keeps Black under contract with the Magic through the 2026-27 campaign. Black is averaging 12.0 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists through four games to open the regular season.

Magic's Anthony Black: Drops 14 off bench
Black put up 14 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-7 FT), three rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block in 30 minutes during Monday's 136-124 loss to Philadelphia.
Despite Jalen Suggs (knee) returning from his one-game absence, Black still played 30 minutes and scored in double digits again, leading all bench players in scoring as well. Black has risen to be one of the main contributors among the second unit, and he will look to continue his momentum going Wednesday against Detroit.

Magic's Anthony Black: Pops for 19 bench points
Black posted 19 points (6-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 30 minutes during Saturday's 110-98 loss to Chicago.
Black struggled to make an impact during Friday's matchup against the Hawks, finishing with eight points, three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 21 minutes. However, he came through with a strong showing Saturday, leading the bench in scoring while also contributing defensively. Black experienced an uptick in minutes with Jalen Suggs (knee) ruled out, so expect his workload to take a hit once Suggs returns to health.

Magic's Anthony Black: Muted performance in loss
Black racked up eight points (3-4 FG, 2-5 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal over 21 minutes during Friday's 111-107 loss to the Hawks.
Black didn't make much of an impact off the bench. He may struggle to find time on the floor unless Jalen Suggs (knee) isn't available, which could happen often early in the season with the team taking a cautious approach with the veteran guard.

Magic's Anthony Black: Scores 12 off bench
Black logged 12 points (3-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five assists, two rebounds and one block in 21 minutes of Friday's 128-98 preseason win over the 76ers.
Jalen Suggs (knee) missed another game and remains without a clear timetable. Tyus Jones started at point guard, but he was pretty quiet in his 19-minute stint. Black may be the third-string point guard on paper when everybody is healthy, but if Friday was any indication, he's going to push for more minutes.

Magic's Anthony Black: Nearly double-doubles
Black notched eight points (3-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds and one steal in 21 minutes during Tuesday's 120-89 loss to the Celtics in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Although he didn't shoot the ball well, Black was far more effective than a scoreless Cory Joseph. Black saw his role increase significantly in his second NBA season, but he had some struggles and couldn't take advantage of all the injuries in Orlando. He shot just 42.3 percent from the field and 31.8 percent from beyond the arc, averaging 9.4 points, 2.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.8 three-pointers in 24.2 minutes.

Magic's Anthony Black: Notches 11 points in loss
Black produced 11 points (4-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-5 FT) and four rebounds across 23 minutes during Wednesday's 109-100 loss to Boston in Game 2 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Black led Orlando's second unit in minutes played and was the only player to hit double-digit points. The Magic are running a very tight rotation at every position other than point guard, as Black is basically in a timeshare with veteran Cory Joseph.

Magic's Anthony Black: Efficient outing off bench
Black finished Tuesday's 120-95 Play-In Game win over the Hawks with 16 points (6-7 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four assists, four rebounds and two blocks over 28 minutes.
Black ended the regular season strongly with back-to-back 20-point outings, and that momentum carried into Tuesday's contest when he connected on all but one of his shots while finishing with a game-high plus-34 point differential. Even though he didn't start, Black ended up playing more minutes than starter Cory Joseph (18) and fellow reserve Cole Anthony (20). With the win, the Magic will enter the postseason as the seventh seed in the East and face the defending-champion Celtics in the first round.

Magic's Anthony Black: Reverts back to bench Tuesday
Black won't start in Tuesday's Play-In Game against the Hawks, Mason Williams of SI.com reports.
The 21-year-old guard will retreat to the second unit due to Cory Joseph (knee) returning to game action. Black has averaged 11.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.1 blocks across 26.5 minutes per game in his last 10 outings (one start).

Magic's Anthony Black: Moves into starting lineup
Black will start Sunday's game against the Hawks.
With Cory Joseph (knee), Franz Wagner (knee) and Paolo Banchero (ankle) out, the Magic will start Black, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Tristan da Silva, Jonathan Isaac and Wendell Carter. As a starter this season (nine games), Black has averaged 8.1 points, 2.8 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 27.9 minutes per contest.

Magic's Anthony Black: Productive in increased role
Black supplied 21 points (9-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 31 minutes during Friday's 129-115 win over Indiana.
Black scored at least 20 points for just the sixth time this season, turning in one of his better all-around performances. The Magic were without their regular starters, affording Black an opportunity to play at least 30 minutes for the second straight game. Despite the season-ending knee injury to Jalen Suggs, Black has been somewhat of a letdown, even in an increased role. Over his past 26 games, Black is averaging just 9.7 points and 1.2 steals in 22.3 minutes per game.

Magic's Anthony Black: Records two blocks
Black provided six points (3-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal across 23 minutes during Thursday's 109-97 win over the Wizards.
With the Magic close to full strength, Black's fantasy appeal is quite limited on the offensive side of things. He's been terrific on the defensive end, however, as he now has a total of six blocks and eight steals over his last five games.

Magic's Anthony Black: Scores 14 points off bench
Black produced 14 points (5-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 26 minutes during Thursday's 101-92 loss to the Mavericks.
With Cole Anthony (toe) sidelined, Black has been a reliable scoring weapon off the bench for the Magic in recent weeks. He's posted double-digit points in five of his previous six appearances while dishing out multiple assists five times. Over that six-game stretch, Black averaged 14.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.2 blocks per contest.

Magic's Anthony Black: Scores 20 points off bench
Black recorded 20 points (8-18 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two blocks and one steal over 30 minutes during Tuesday's 111-104 victory over the Hornets.
Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner led the way for the Magic in this one, but Orlando wouldn't have been able to come away with the win hadn't Black been as good as he was coming off the bench. The lack of consistency on a game-to-game basis has been Black's biggest knock in recent outings, but he seems to be trending toward the right path of late. He's scored in double digits in four of his last five appearances, averaging 14.8 points per game and shooting 57.1 percent from the floor in that stretch.
