Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo had high praise for Paolo Banchero and the Magic after Friday’s game at Kia Center. “Orlando is a dangerous team,” the two-time NBA MVP said.

The Orlando Magic reveal what Jalen Suggs' back injury return will "depend on," as he remains out against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Over two weeks have passed since Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs left the floor in a wheelchair with a low back strain. Now, the fourth-year guard is "feeling better" and "itching to get back onto the court" as he works through his rehab.

Paolo Banchero’s return from injury can influence the Orlando Magic’s trade deadline plans, potentially impacting key roster decisions.

Prior to his low back injury, Suggs averaged 16.4 points, 4.1 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.47 steals during 29.0 minutes in 34 starts.

Having Banchero back in the mix gives the Magic offense a whole new set of weapons. And if he’s able to return to the form he evidenced in the early stages of the 2024-25 campaign, then he should be able to keep the Magic as one of the best teams in the East as the regular season rapidly approaches its mid-point.

Paolo Banchero will play on Friday against the Milwaukee Bucks, the Orlando Magic announced. Banchero has not seen game action since tearing his oblique in October. He missed 34 games due to the injury.

The Orlando Magic are hoping for another successful trip across the border as they prepare to face the host Toronto Raptors on Tuesday night. The teams first met on Jan.

The Orlando Magic and Toronto Raptors square off for the second time this season north of the border on Tuesday night. Tipoff is at 7:30 p.m. ET.

Orlando has lost three straight and six of its last eight games since Jalen Suggs went down. But they’re missing much more than just him.

The Orlando Magic arrive ranked No. 3 in the NBA in defensive efficiency, surrendering only 107.7 points per 100 possessions, compared to Toronto’s 117.5 (which actually is a tiny bit better than the 118.1 points last year’s team gave up).
