Magic's Anthony Black: Removed from injury report
Black (ankle) is off the injury report for Thursday's game against the Suns, per Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel.
Black is set to return after sitting out Monday's tilt versus the Wizards for maintenance purposes. Over his first four appearances, the combo guard has averaged 16.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.3 steals and 2.3 three-pointers in 28.0 minutes per game.

Magic's Anthony Black: Will rest Monday
Black will be rested Monday against the Wizards.
The Magic are listing him out for left ankle injury management, so they are taking a cautious approach for the second leg of this back-to-back set. He finished with 23 points (6-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 10-11 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and two steals over 33 minutes Sunday against Boston. Jase Richardson, Jevon Carter and Jamal Cain could be more involved as a result.

Magic's Anthony Black: Season-high 23 points in defeat
Black closed Sunday's 108-97 loss to Boston with 23 points (6-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 10-11 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and two steals over 33 minutes.
Black tied Tristan da Silva for the team lead in scoring, while the former accounted for more than half of Orlando's 19 free-throw attempts in the loss. It was good to see Black attacking the rim with his three-point shot not falling, and his eight boards also represented a season high. He'll continue to be a focal point for the Magic on both sides of the ball for as long as Paolo Banchero (ankle) and Jalen Suggs (knee) remain out.

Magic's Anthony Black: Scores 17 and adds 10 dimes
Black amassed 17 points (5-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds, 10 assists and one block over 31 minutes during Friday's 121-114 victory over the Raptors.
Black bounced back after struggling massively in his previous start. He should continue to handle a bigger role due to the absence of Jalen Suggs (knee), and while he's not expected to average a double-double as a starter, this was clearly a step in the right direction. Black has surpassed the 15-point plateau in two of his three appearances this season.

Magic's Anthony Black: Muted line in first start of season
Black accumulated eight points (4-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 22 minutes during Wednesday's 129-99 loss to Toronto.
Black was moved into the starting lineup Wednesday due to the absence of Jalen Suggs (knee). Black averaged 16.5 points, 4.2 assists and 3.7 rebounds over 32.4 minutes per game across 40 starts during the 2025-26 season, but he failed to meet those numbers in Orlando's loss to Toronto. There will be more opportunities ahead for the 2023 first-rounder, seeing as Suggs is expected to be sidelined for at least the next two weeks.

Magic's Anthony Black: Starting sans Suggs
Black will start Wednesday's game against the Raptors, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Magic's Anthony Black: Will play Wednesday
Black (personal) is available for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.
Black was listed as questionable after missing the morning shootaround for personal reasons. However, the 22-year-old guard will suit up for his second outing of the season versus the Raptors. Black has a good chance of starting with both Jalen Suggs (knee) and Paolo Banchero (ankle) sidelined for an extended period of time.

Magic's Anthony Black: Absent from shootaround
Black (personal) was not present at Wednesday's morning shootaround, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Black is listed as questionable on the injury report. However, Beede reports that Black is expected back in time before tipoff, so fantasy managers can keep him in lineups for the time being.

Magic's Anthony Black: Plays well in debut
Black fouled out of Sunday's 111-102 victory over New York after recording 18 points (6-11 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, five assists and two steals over 26 minutes.
Black made an immediate impact in his first appearance of the season, connecting on five three-pointers while providing a spark off Orlando's bench. He was expected to operate under a minutes restriction but still logged 26 minutes before fouling out. With Jalen Suggs suffering a right knee injury late in Sunday's contest, Black could see an expanded role in the backcourt if Suggs misses time.

Magic's Anthony Black: Will make season debut Sunday
Black (ankle) is available for Sunday's game at New York, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Black didn't suit up in the preseason and missed Orlando's first two regular-season games with a right ankle sprain, but he'll shed his questionable tag and return to action Sunday. His return to the lineup will leave fewer minutes available for guys like Jase Richardson and Jevon Carter, though it wouldn't be surprising to see Black operate under a minutes restriction in his first game back.

Magic's Anthony Black: Iffy for Sunday
Black (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Knicks.
Black has a chance to return to action Sunday after missing Orlando's first two regular-season games. If the 22-year-old guard is cleared to play, Jase Richardson and Jevon Carter would likely see fewer minutes.

Magic's Anthony Black: Still trending up
Black (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Minnesota but participated in shootaround and has experienced no setbacks in his recovery, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
"He's doing a good job, still ramping up and looked good," coach Sean Sweeney said. Black continues to make encouraging progress from a right ankle sprain that sidelined him throughout the preseason. His participation in shootaround is a positive sign, though the Magic have yet to establish a timetable for his return. He'll look to carve out a role in Orlando's backcourt once cleared to play.

Magic's Anthony Black: Won't suit up Friday
Black (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Timberwolves.
Black will miss a second consecutive regular-season contest after missing the entire preseason with a right ankle sprain. His next opportunity to suit up will come Sunday against New York. With the 22-year-old guard unavailable, Jase Richardson and Tristan da Silva will likely continue seeing increased burn.

Black didn't suit up in the preseason due to a sprained right ankle. He's still in the process of ramping up and will miss the team's regular-season opener, though head coach Sean Sweeney said he was moving well in Sunday's practice. The 22-year-old's next chance to play will come in Friday's game against Minnesota. In the meantime, Tristan da Silva, Jamal Cain and Jevon Carter are candidates to see increased minutes.

Magic's Anthony Black: Status still unclear
Black (ankle) said Tuesday that he doesn't know if he will play in Wednesday's season opener against the Hawks, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
The Magic did not come to terms with Black on a contract extension before the deadline, setting the guard up to become a restricted free agent next offseason. He said that doesn't change his perspective of the season, however. Black was unable to play in any exhibitions and remains day-to-day.

Black (ankle) participated in Sunday's practice, and head coach Sean Sweeney said he will continue ramping up, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Sweeney also added that Black looked good and was moving well in practice after sitting out the entire preseason schedule. The 22-year-old guard is set to continue ramping up in practice and can be considered questionable for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Hawks until Orlando provides an update on his status. If he needs to miss time, Jase Richardson and Jevon Carter would be candidates for increased burn.
