NBC SportsJalen Suggs (right ankle sprain) is probable for Saturday's game against the Heat.

Suggs was injured during Thursday's loss to the Thunder. While he returned to action, it didn't take long for Magic coach Jamahl Mosley to remove his starting point guard from the game as he was uncomfortable playing on the injured leg. The good news is that Suggs is probable on the initial injury report, meaning he's on track to remain the team's starting point guard on Saturday. Anthony Black and Cole Anthony will absorb the available minutes if he cannot play.

NBC SportsAnthony Black contributed 23 points (8--of-14 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs) with three rebounds, two assists, a steal, and three three-pointers against the Thunder.

Black set a new season-high with 21 points on a season-high 14 shots. Black is primarily known for his defense but will get opportunities to play a bigger role as a scorer because of Orlando's recent injuries.

NBC SportsAnthony Black accumulated 17 points (6-of-12 FGs, 5-of-8 FTs), six rebounds, three assists, three steals, and one blocked shot in 32 minutes in Tuesday's loss to the Bucks.

Outside of Goga Bitadze, there aren't many solid streaming options in Orlando, with Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner sidelined. Maybe Black emerges as an option, based on his performance in Milwaukee. The second-year guard won't have value as a 3-point shooter, but he's generally efficient and provides solid defensive production. There's no need to add Black, as the Magic won't play again until December 15 or 16. But he's worth placing on watchlists.

NBC SportsJalen Suggs, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Tristan da Silva, Wendell Carter Jr., and Goga Bitadze will start Sunday's game against Phoenix.

With Paolo Banchero already sidelined with a torn oblique muscle, the Magic lost Franz Wagner to the same injury on Saturday. Da Silva moves into the starting lineup but remains a risky streaming play due to his lack of scoring. Also, Anthony Black, Cole Anthony, and even Jett Howard will have more opportunities to produce for the shorthanded Magic.

NBC SportsFranz Wagner (torn right oblique) has been ruled out indefinitely.

The team said that he will be re-evaluated in four weeks, but that doesn't mean that he'll be close to returning. This is a devastating injury for Orlando, who has already dealt with the absence of Paolo Banchero due to a torn oblique. Banchero isn't far from a return, but until he's back, they'll have to rely on everyone else to score. Tristan da Silva or Anthony Black may fill the void in the starting unit, but Cole Anthony could also see a larger role due to his shot creation ability.
