Magic's Jalen Suggs: Still not 100 percent
Magic head coach Sean Sweeney said Suggs (illness) increased his activity level at Saturday's practice and looked more like himself, but they can't "skip steps" in the point guard's recovery, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Suggs has been sick for nearly a week, and while it may not affect his regular-season availability, it has limited his training camp reps. The veteran point guard was sidelined for Orlando's preseason opener last Wednesday, and his status for Sunday's exhibition in Cleveland remains unclear.

Magic's Anthony Black: Full participant in practice
Black (ankle) was a full participant in Friday's practice, per Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel.
Black sounds to be making good progress in his recovery from a right ankle sprain. The fourth-year guard has a chance to make his preseason debut Sunday against Cleveland as he prepares to occupy the sixth man role for Orlando this season.

Magic's Kevin Knox: Scores 11 off bench
Knox recorded 11 points (3-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and six rebounds in 13 minutes during Wednesday's 122-118 preseason win over Memphis.
Knox provided a scoring boost off the bench while finishing as one of Orlando's more productive rebounders. The veteran forward will look to build on the performance as he competes for a spot on the roster.

Magic's Franz Wagner: Dishes out seven assists
Wagner finished with six points (2-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven assists, two rebounds and two steals in 14 minutes during Wednesday's 122-118 preseason victory over Memphis.
Wagner struggled with his shot but made a significant impact as a facilitator, leading Orlando in assists despite limited playing time. His ability to contribute across multiple categories should remain a key part of his fantasy appeal heading into the regular season.

Magic's Nikola Vucevic: Perfect from field
Vucevic recorded nine points (3-3 FG, 3-3 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in 12 minutes during Wednesday's 122-118 preseason win over Memphis.
Vucevic made all three of his attempts from beyond the arc, showcasing his floor-spacing ability in limited action. The veteran center could provide valuable offensive production off Orlando's bench, though his playing time will be worth monitoring in a crowded frontcourt.

Magic's Goga Bitadze: Solid in reserve role
Bitadze finished with seven points (3-4 FG, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and one block in 13 minutes during Wednesday's 122-118 preseason victory over Memphis.
Bitadze was efficient around the basket but saw limited playing time behind Orlando's other frontcourt options. With Nikola Vucevic also competing for minutes, Bitadze could face challenges securing a consistent rotation role.

Magic's Paolo Banchero: Posts strong line in 15 minutes
Banchero supplied 11 points (2-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 7-10 FT), one rebound and five assists across 15 minutes in Wednesday's 122-118 preseason win over the Grizzlies.
Banchero struggled from the field but got to the line 10 times and repeatedly set up Wendell Carter and Desmond Bane while playing only two quarters. The offense ran primarily through Franz Wagner, with Banchero often working off the ball, a scheme that could ultimately help the Duke product's bottom line after logging a regression in his scoring average last season.

Magic's Wendell Carter: All-around effort in victory
Carter logged 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists in 15 minutes during Wednesday's 122-118 preseason win over the Grizzlies.
Carter was Orlando's full-time starting center last season, averaging 11.8 points and 7.4 rebounds, but his outlook is complicated by Nikola Vucevic's return to Orlando. His starting role isn't currently in jeopardy, but the situation is worth monitoring.

Magic's Jamal Cain: Supplies 15 points in win
Cain posted 15 points (6-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt), two rebounds and an assist across 22 minutes in Wednesday's 122-118 preseason win over the Grizzlies.
Cain made a strong first impression with a great total off the bench. After spending most of last season on a two-way deal before converting to a standard contract in March, he's using the preseason to earn a spot in the regular rotation.

Magic's Tristan da Silva: Drops 19 points in preseason win
Da Silva logged 19 points (6-16 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal across 25 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's 122-118 preseason win over the Grizzlies.
Da Silva wasn't very efficient from two-point range but put together a solid performance from beyond the arc en route to a game-high 19 points. The 25-year-old forward also tied for third on the team in rebounds. Da Silva averaged 9.9 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 0.9 steals across 24.7 minutes per game in 2025-26, and he figures to serve as Paolo Banchero's primary backup this season.

Magic's Noah Penda: Won't play Wednesday
Penda (hamstring) is out for Wednesday's preseason game in Memphis, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Penda has been working his way back from a hamstring injury, and while he was able to participate in Sunday's practice, he's not quite ready for game-time action. His next chance to play will come Sunday in Cleveland.

Magic's Anthony Black: Ruled out Wednesday
Black (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's preseason game against the Grizzlies, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Black is still ramping up due to a sprained right ankle, though he was able to participate in Sunday's practice. His next opportunity to play in the preseason will come Sunday against Cleveland.

Magic's Jalen Suggs: Won't play Wednesday
Suggs (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's preseason game against the Grizzlies, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Suggs has been under the weather for a few days and will miss Orlando's preseason opener, along with Anthony Black (ankle), which sends second-year guard Jase Richardson into the starting lineup. Suggs will have three more chances to suit up during the preseason, with his first opportunity coming Sunday in Cleveland.

Magic's Jase Richardson: Starting Wednesday
Richardson will start in Wednesday's preseason game against the Grizzlies.
Jalen Suggs (illness) and Anthony Black (ankle) are out for Wednesday's exhibition, so Richardson will start. Desmond Bane, Franz Wagner, Paolo Banchero and Wendell Carter will join Richardson in the first unit for Wednesday's game.

Magic's Jalen Suggs: Returns to on-court work
Suggs remains under the weather but was able to get on the court and run around during Tuesday's practice, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Suggs appears to be progressing after being limited by the illness over the previous few days. His activity level is encouraging, though his status for Wednesday's preseason opener against Memphis remains uncertain.

Magic's Jonathan Isaac: Out for personal reasons
Isaac (knee) won't travel with the Magic for Wednesday's preseason opener against the Grizzlies due to personal reasons, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Isaac also wasn't spotted on the court during the media-viewing portions of Orlando's practices Monday or Tuesday. The veteran forward entered training camp limited while completing his recovery from the left knee sprain that ended his 2025-26 campaign, but his absence Wednesday is being attributed to personal reasons.

Magic's Johnell Davis: Lands with Magic
Davis agreed to an Exhibit 10 contract with Orlando on Monday, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
This appears to be a strategic signing to funnel Davis to Orlando's G League affiliate, the Osceola Magic. The team announced shortly after the signing that Davis had been waived.

Magic's Jalen Suggs: Dealing with illness
Suggs remains under the weather but appears to be improving, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Coach Sean Sweeney said Sunday that Suggs can do "a little bit, but not much" at the moment, though the expectation is that he'll ramp up his activity soon. With Orlando's preseason opener against Memphis set for Wednesday, Suggs' participation over the next couple of practices should provide a better indication of his availability.

Magic's Noah Penda: Participates in Sunday's practice
Penda (hamstring) participated in Sunday's practice and has been progressing in his ramp-up process, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Penda tweaked his hamstring in late September and has been limited during training camp. However, he's trending in the right direction ahead of Wednesday's preseason opener against Memphis. The 21-year-old figures to compete with Jamal Cain and Tristan da Silva for minutes off the bench in 2026-27.

Magic's Anthony Black: Practices Sunday
Black (ankle) participated in Sunday's practice and has been progressing in his ramp-up process, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Black has been limited by a sprained ankle in training camp but is trending in the right direction ahead of Wednesday's preseason opener against Memphis. He's coming off a breakout season in 2025-26, averaging 15.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 2.1 combined steals-plus-blocks in 29.8 minutes per contest across 64 regular-season games (40 starts). He's expected to operate as the club's top reserve in 2026-27.
