Top Anthony Black News

  • Magic's Anthony Black: Won't play against Toronto

    Black (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Raptors, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Black will miss a third straight game due to a back injury, and his next opportunity to play will be against the Jazz on Sunday. Gary Harris, Jett Howard, Trevelin Queen and Caleb Houstan will continue to see extended playing time off the bench for as long as Black is sidelined.

  • Magic's Anthony Black: Iffy for Wednesday

    Black (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pistons.

    Black missed Sunday's win over the Nets due to back spasms and didn't practice Tuesday, so his questionable tag seems more like doubtful. If Black misses again, Cole Anthony and Gary Harris would be candidates for increased roles.

  • Magic's Anthony Black: Misses practice Tuesday

    Black (back) did not practice Tuesday, Dan Savage of the Magic's official site reports.

    Black missed his first outing of the season due to back spasms Sunday against the Nets, and his inability to practice Tuesday doesn't bode well for his status against the Pistons on Wednesday. The good news for Orlando is that Jalen Suggs was able to practice Tuesday after being diagnosed with a wrist sprain that he suffered against the Nets.

  • Magic's Anthony Black: Questionable Sunday

    Black (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Nets.

    Black is questionable for Sunday's contest due to back spasms. The 20-year-old has carved out a significant role in the Magic's rotation this year, and if he is sidelined, Trevelin Queen and Cole Anthony are candidates for increased roles.

  • Magic's Anthony Black: Nears double figures in start

    Black closed Friday's 108-85 loss to the Knicks with nine points (2-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal over 30 minutes.

    Black got the starting nod over Trevelin Queen in Friday's contest, making his third start of the season and ending one point short of the double-digit mark. In his three starts this season, Black has averaged 8.7 points, 3.3 assists and 2.0 rebounds per contest.

  • Magic's Anthony Black: Back in starting five Friday

    Black will start in Friday's game against the Knicks, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

    The second-year pro will supplant Trevelin Queen in the starting lineup for Friday's contest. Black has started in two games this season, during which he has averaged 8.5 points, 4.0 assists and 1.5 rebounds across 22.5 minutes per contest.

  • Magic's Anthony Black: Starting vs. Miami

    Black is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Heat.

    The Magic will be depleted for this matchup since they'll be missing three regular starters in Jalen Suggs (ankle), Franz Wagner (oblique) and Paolo Banchero (oblique), so Black will be tasked with having a prominent role on offense while holding a starting role in the backcourt. Black has started just once this season prior to Saturday, as he recorded seven points, two rebounds and six assists across 27 minutes in a 120-109 loss to the Cavaliers on Nov. 1.

  • Magic's Anthony Black: Paces scoring attack

    Black provided 23 points (8-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), one rebound, three assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Thursday's 105-99 loss to Oklahoma City.

    Black turned in his best scoring performance through 29 games this season and did so in an impressive fashion. Jalen Suggs picked up an ankle injury and was held out for much of the second half, which opened up the floor for an uptick in opportunities on the offensive end for Black, who could slot in as the team's starting point guard if Suggs is forced to miss additional time.

  • Magic's Anthony Black: Strong two-way performance

    Black registered 17 points (6-12 FG, 5-8 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 114-109 loss to the Bucks.

    Black logged a season-high 32 minutes, turning in one of his better performances of the season. With both Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner sidelined due to oblique injuries, Black has an opportunity to step into a larger role, at least for another week or two. While he has increased his production across multiple categories this season, consistency remains an issue.

  • Magic's Anthony Black: Game-high seven assists off bench

    Black finished Wednesday's 106-102 win over the 76ers with 10 points (5-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt), five rebounds and seven assists in 30 minutes.

    It was Black's first time in double scoring figures since a Nov. 25 win over Charlotte, and his seven assists were his most since a Nov. 20 loss to the Clippers. The former first-rounder remains fairly raw offensively, so his production can be erratic, but he's clearly starting to pull away from Cole Anthony as head coach Jamahl Mosley's preferred backup point guard. Over his last 10 contests, Black is averaging 8.6 points, 3.7 assists, 2.2 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 0.8 three-pointers in 23.0 minutes per game. He should continue to orchestrate Orlando's second unit on offense and play disruptive defense off the bench going forward.

  • Magic's Anthony Black: Starts in second half Saturday

    Black ended Saturday's 111-100 win over the Pistons with 11 points (3-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound, five assists and two steals across 32 minutes.

    Black started in the second half of Saturday's game after Jalen Suggs suffered a hamstring injury in the first quarter. Black scored seven of his 11 points in the second half, and he could be inserted into the Magic's starting lineup against the Hornets on Monday if Suggs is unable to play.

  • Magic's Anthony Black: Logs team-high 17 points from bench

    Black ended Wednesday's 104-93 loss to the Clippers with 17 points (5-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-9 FT), eight assists and one block in 29 minutes.

    Black is getting increased court time and production due to a few factors. Cole Anthony is his only real competition for backup minutes, and the sluggish play from Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has forced the team to provide more spark from the second unit. Black's upward trend could result in a major lineup change for the Magic if Caldwell-Pope is unable to recover from his production tailspin.

  • Magic's Anthony Black: Shows up with 20 points from bench

    Black logged 20 points (5-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT), four rebounds, nine assists and three steals across 33 minutes during Monday's 109-99 win over the Suns.

    Black posted a season-high 20 points in the win, blowing way past his previous high of 12 points. Black is carving out a larger role in his sophomore season after averaging only 16.9 minutes per game during his rookie campaign. The 2023 first-round pick has the goods to be an eventual starter, but the Arkansas product will remain behind Jalen Suggs on the depth chart for the foreseeable future.

  • Magic's Anthony Black: Tallies season-high four steals

    Black contributed six points (2-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, six assists, one block and four steals over 25 minutes during Wednesday's 94-90 win over the Pacers.

    Despite not being a volume scorer, Black continues to make a positive impact off Orlando's bench. The second-year guard's four steals were a season high, and he also tied his most assists in a game this year with six. Across his 13 appearances in 2024-25, Black is averaging 7.9 points, 4.2 assists, 3.1 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 24.6 minutes.

  • Magic's Anthony Black: Best outing of season off bench

    Black contributed 12 points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six assists and two steals over 27 minutes during Wednesday's 118-111 loss to Indiana.

    Black led all Magic players in minutes played off the bench Wednesday, and he took advantage of that extra time while putting together his best performance of the young season. Black led all Orlando players with a pair of steals while handing out a team-high-tying assist total and concluding as one of two Magic bench players in double figures in scoring. Black set a new season high in scoring, and he has now reached the double-digit mark in four outings.
