Magic's Goga Bitadze: Absent from rotation in Game 7
Bitadze averaged 5.9 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 15.2 minutes per game over 64 regular-season appearances during 2025-26.
Although Bitadze played the backup center role behind Wendell Carter for much of the year, he wasn't part of Orlando's Game 7 rotation versus the Pistons. Moritz Wagner, who served as the No. 2 big man Sunday, is an impending free agent this summer, so Bitadze could end up reprising a similar role in 2026-27.

Magic's Jase Richardson: Out of rotation to end season
Richardson averaged 4.4 points, 1.2 rebounds and 1.1 assists per contest in 54 regular-season games during 2025-26.
The rookie first-rounder appeared just once during Orlando's seven-game first-round series with Detroit. If the Magic let Jevon Carter walk away this offseason, Richardson would have a better chance of cracking the Opening Night rotation in 2026-27.

Magic's Tristan da Silva: Disappointing close to 2025-26
Da Silva chipped in zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) over eight minutes during Sunday's 116-94 loss to the Pistons in Game 7 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Even with Franz Wagner (calf) and Jonathan Isaac (knee) sidelined, da Silva was phased out of the Orlando rotation at times during this series. It was still a positive 2025-26 campaign overall for the second-year forward, who averaged 9.9 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 0.9 steals in 24.7 minutes per tilt over 77 regular-season games (34 starts).

Magic's Moritz Wagner: Ends year in muted role
Wagner posted five points (1-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and two rebounds across 10 minutes during Sunday's 116-94 loss to the Pistons in Game 7 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
After beginning the season on the shelf amid his knee surgery recovery, Wagner never quite made his way into much fantasy relevance in 2025-26. Set for unrestricted free agency this offseason, the 29-year-old big man averaged 6.9 points, 3.2 rebounds and 0.8 assists in 11.9 minutes per contest across 36 regular-season games.

Magic's Jevon Carter: Quiet in Game 7 defeat
Carter had zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in 11 minutes during Sunday's 116-94 loss to Detroit in Game 7 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
After being waived by the Bulls ahead of a busy trade deadline in February, Carter signed a one-year contract with the Magic and was a veteran presence for a young club. He wound up playing a fairly decent role for Orlando, closing with averages of 7.2 points, 2.3 assists, 2.1 rebounds and 0.9 steals in 20.4 minutes per contest across 30 regular-season games for the Magic.

Magic's Anthony Black: Caps off breakout year Sunday
Black chipped in 11 points (4-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist and five steals across 33 minutes during Sunday's 116-94 loss to Detroit in Game 7 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Black tallied a game-high five steals Sunday, punctuating a breakout 2025-26 campaign. A late-season abdominal strain left him with a reduced workload for much of the postseason, but the third-year guard still averaged a career-high 15.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.4 steals in 29.8 minutes per tilt over 64 regular-season games.

Magic's Jamal Cain: Finishes season in starting lineup
Cain notched five points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 24 minutes during Sunday's 116-94 loss to Detroit in Game 7 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
With both Franz Wagner (calf) and Jonathan Isaac (knee) sidelined, Cain was thrust into a significant role during the final stretch of Orlando's playoff run. Over 40 regular-season contests (one start), the fourth-year forward averaged 5.4 points, 2.0 rebounds and 0.7 assists in 12.2 minutes per game.

Magic's Wendell Carter: Commendable effort in loss
Carter contributed 13 points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one block over 38 minutes during Sunday's 116-94 loss to Detroit in Game 7 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Carter logged a season-high 38 minutes, bringing the curtain down on what was a relatively successful season, at least from a personal standpoint. After establishing himself as the starting center on Opening Night, Carter held onto the position for the duration of the season. He finished the regular season with averages of 11.8 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.8 steals, 0.6 blocks and 0.9 three-pointers in 78 outings. Although his lack of defensive contributions remains an issue, he did average 1.3 blocks per game over the final 15 games of the season, including the playoffs.

Magic's Desmond Bane: Modest end to season
Bane posted 16 points (5-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-5 FT), three rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals across 38 minutes during Sunday's 116-94 loss to the Pistons in Game 7 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Bane scored no more than 18 points for the third straight game, all of which were losses. After leading the series 3-1, Orlando simply ran out of legs, bringing to an end what will likely be viewed as an underwhelming campaign for a team that came into the season with lofty expectations. As for Bane, his first season in Orlando was right on par with his career numbers. He finished the regular season with averages of 20.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.0 three-pointers in 82 games.

Magic's Jalen Suggs: Closes with six stocks
Suggs closed Sunday's 116-94 loss to Detroit in Game 7 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with six points (2-9 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists, two blocks and four steals over 36 minutes.
Suggs got to work on the defensive end, tallying six combined steals-plus-blocks. However, it was a different story on the offensive end, where he scored just six points, finishing in single digits for the third time in the past four games. Sunday's Game 7 loss brings to an end what was a disappointing season for the Magic, due in large part to the fact that injuries were a constant issue. Suggs continues to be one of the best defensive guards in the league, although he certainly wasn't immune to injuries, missing a total of 25 regular-season games.

Magic's Paolo Banchero: Erupts for 38 points in Game 7 loss
Banchero supplied 38 points (14-25 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 6-8 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and one block across 42 minutes in Sunday's 116-94 Game 7 loss to the Pistons in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Banchero got off to a hot start in this one, scoring 23 of his game-high 38 points in the first half. He was also extremely efficient from beyond the arc after shooting an abysmal 0-for-9 from deep in Friday's Game 6 loss. The star forward added team-high marks in rebounds and assists, carrying an Orlando squad that struggled on the offensive end. Following an injury-plagued 2024-25 campaign, Banchero appeared in 72 regular-season games this season, during which he averaged 22.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.3 combined steals-plus-blocks in 34.8 minutes per contest. He shot a career-high 45.9 percent from the field but took a step back from beyond the arc, knocking down 30.5 percent of his three-point attempts.
