Magic's Paolo Banchero: Chance to return Friday
Banchero (groin) is questionable for Friday's game against the Heat, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Banchero hasn't played since Nov. 12 and had been limited to non-contact work as of earlier this week, but it appears he's nearing a return to game action. Even if Banchero is cleared to play Friday, he'll likely face heavy restrictions. In his first 11 games this season, Banchero averaged 23.3 points, 9.1 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.6 steals-plus-blocks in 34.7 minutes.

Magic's Paolo Banchero: Out again Wednesday
Banchero (groin) will not play Wednesday against the Spurs.
Banchero continues to be ruled out a day in advance of games and has yet to be cleared for contact. This will mark his 10th straight game on the shelf, and he remains without a timetable for a return. Coach Jamahl Mosley said Banchero is "still doing a lot of non-contact things" and they "continue to see and monitor how he responds to each treatment each day." It sounds like fantasy managers can treat Banchero as week-to-week until he ramps up activity during practice.

Magic's Paolo Banchero: Set to undergo MRI
Banchero confirmed after Wednesday's game that he will undergo an MRI on his left groin, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.
"I just slowed up, and I felt it right away," Banchero said. "And then, I did a couple more trips up and down, and then, it was still there. So I asked to come out because I didn't want to risk further injury." The Magic are officially calling his injury a strain for now, but the MRI will reveal the severity of the issue. If Banchero does end up missing time, Tristan da Silva would likely be the next man up for Orlando based on how he's stepped up thus far. Jonathan Isaac would likely be in the mix for more run as well.
