| Thu Mar 26 | 08:27 | Anthony Black Misses 11th Straight Game |
Orlando Magic guard Anthony Black (abdomen) won't be in action on Thursday against the Sacramento Kings, missing an 11th consecutive contest. The 22-year-old remains without a timeline for his return, but his next opportunity to rejoin the lineup will be on Sunday against the Toronto Raptors. In Black's absence, Tristan da Silva is poised to make another start. He's kicked off this week with two impressive performances, averaging 19.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 4.0 assists across matchups with Indiana and Cleveland. It should be another fun night for da Silva and the Magic against the Kings, who give up the third-most points in the league at 121.2 per game. |

| Tue Mar 10 | 15:17 | Anthony Black Is Without a Timetable to Return |
Orlando Magic guard Anthony Black (abdominal) is dealing with a left lateral abdominal muscle strain, according to an MRI. The team announced that his return timeframe will depend on his response to treatment. Black is having a breakout season for the Magic, averaging 15.3 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 30.7 minutes per game. He has helped the Magic overcome extended absences by Jalen Suggs and Franz Wagner (ankle), but now it looks like he'll be on the sideline for a while. For however long he is out, Tristan da Silva will likely rejoin the starting lineup, while Jevon Carter may see increased minutes off the bench. In 21 starts this season, da Silva has averaged 10.5 points and 4.5 rebounds. |

Orlando Magic guard Anthony Black (quadriceps) will end a two-game absence on Thursday against the Dallas Mavericks. He is ready to return from a quadriceps contusion, with the team upgrading Black's status from questionable to available. With Black back in the fold, Tristan da Silva must likely settle for a bench role, and Jevon Carter is set to lose playing time after logging 30 minutes in back-to-back games. Black makes his return in a good spot, facing a team that allows 117.7 points per game. |

According to Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel, Orlando Magic guard Anthony Black (quadriceps) has been downgraded to unavailable for Tuesday's game against the Washington Wizards.

The 21-year-old is having an excellent season, averaging 15.7 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 3.9 assists across 31 minutes per game. His next opportunity to return will come on Thursday against Dallas. With Black still sidelined, Tristan da Silva and Jevon Carter could see additional scoring opportunities in this appealing matchup versus Washington. |

| Tue Mar 3 | 15:40 | Anthony Black Downgraded to Questionable Tuesday Against the Wizards |
Orlando Magic guard Anthony Black (quadriceps) was probable for Tuesday's matchup but was downgraded to questionable before tipoff. He is trending in the wrong direction while dealing with his right quadriceps contusion, but he still has a chance to play through the issue against Washington. He missed Orlando's last game, and Jalen Suggs returned to the lineup in his spot. If Black returns to action on Tuesday, Tristan da Silva seems the most likely player to slide to the second unit. Black has had a very strong season, breaking through for 15.7 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 3.9 assists in 31 minutes per game. If he's forced to miss a second straight game, da Silva and Jevon Carter would likely pick up more work in this favorable matchup against Washington. |

| Tue Mar 3 | 07:46 | Anthony Black Likely to Return Tuesday |
Orlando Magic guard Anthony Black (quadriceps) is considered probable for Tuesday's matchup with the Washington Wizards. He is dealing with a right quadriceps contusion, but it looks like Black's absence will be limited to one game. Black's return will likely bump Tristan da Silva to the second unit. Coming off the bench, da Silva has averaged 7.8 points and 3.1 rebounds per game this season, notably less than his production as a starter. However, Washington allows the second-most bench points in the league, which may help da Silva maintain his recent momentum. |

| Sun Nov 23 2025 | 17:53 | Anthony Black Entering the Starting Lineup Versus Boston |
Orlando Magic guard Anthony Black will start in Sunday's meeting with the Celtics. Jalen Suggs (knee) will take the night off to rest after logging 32 minutes in Saturday's win over the New York Knicks, opening the door for Black to get some extra action. The 21-year-old has started three times this season, averaging 15.3 points, 1.3 steals, and 1.0 blocks. However, with Paolo Banchero (groin) and Wendell Carter Jr. (ankle) also out, Black might be more productive, giving him plenty of upside for fantasy managers. |

| Thu Oct 30 2025 | 18:46 | Anthony Black Starting Versus Charlotte |
Orlando Magic guard Anthony Black will start in Thursday's game versus the Charlotte Hornets. Jalen Suggs (knee) will take the night off after logging 21 minutes in Wednesday's loss to the Detroit Pistons. Suggs will presumably be back on Saturday in Washington. Fow now, Black will roll with the first-five. The 21-year-old has averaged 11.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.8 assists this season. Of course, his statistical contributions should improve, giving him a higher ceiling for fantasy managers. Black will also be an enticing value play for DFS participants. |

| Fri Jan 3 2025 | 18:31 | Anthony Black Unavailable On Friday |
Orlando Magic guard Anthony Black (back) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Black will miss his third game in a row due to a lower back contusion. The Magic are likely to continue using a committee approach to fill the void. Trevelin Queen, Gary Harris, and Caleb Houstan will likely all see increased roles on Friday. None of these players have ideal streaming option, but Harris might have the highest upside of the three. |

| Tue Dec 31 2024 | 16:39 | Anthony Black Questionable For Wednesday |
Orlando Magic guard Anthony Black(back) is questionable for Wednesday's game with the Detroit Pistons. Black was out of the lineup against the Nets on Sunday due to back spasms. He didn't practice on Tuesday, so he will likely be sidelined Wednesday. If the 20-year-old second-year pro can't suit up, Gary Harris and Cole Anthony will likely see more playing time in the Motor City. |

| Fri Nov 1 2024 | 17:54 | Anthony Black Starting Versus Cleveland |
Orlando Magic guard Anthony Black will start on Friday versus the undefeated Cavaliers. With Paolo Banchero (oblique) sidelined, Black will get his chance to roll with the first five. The 20-year-old has shown signs of promise in his second year in the National Basketball Association, averaging 8.4 points, 4.2 assists, 1.4 blocks, and 44.4% shooting from behind the arc. Naturally, Franz Wagner (illness), Jalen Suggs, and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope are expected to do most of the heavy lifting on the offensive end. However, Black warrants fantasy consideration in deeper formats. He'll also draw value interest from DFS managers. |
