Paolo Banchero Expected to Return for Magic

News summary

Orlando Magic star Paolo Banchero is set to return from a torn oblique injury, potentially during back-to-back home games against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday or the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday. Banchero, who has been sidelined since October 30, participated fully in practice on Wednesday and is expected to be upgraded to questionable on the injury report. Before his injury, he was averaging 29 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 5.6 assists per game, ranking seventh in the league. His remarkable performance included a career-high 50 points in a game against the Indiana Pacers, making him the second-youngest player in NBA history to achieve such stats. The Magic currently sit fourth in the Eastern Conference at 22-16, despite also missing fellow player Franz Wagner due to injury. Banchero's return is anticipated to significantly enhance the team's performance as they aim for a strong playoff run.
