Magic's Anthony Black: Solid display off bench
Black finished with 11 points (3-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds and an assist across 19 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's 107-97 preseason loss to the Spurs.
Black was one of two Orlando players who scored in double digits in this loss, with Jett Howard, who delivered a team-high 19 points, being the other. Black has shown glimpses of his quality in Orlando's first two preseason games. Still, and regardless of how good he looks in these games, he's ticketed to open the season as a depth option in the backcourt since Jalen Suggs and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope will be the starting duo at the one and two, respectively.

Magic's Anthony Black: Team option picked up
Orlando exercised its third-year team option for the 2025-26 season on Black's contract Friday, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Black will likely be returning to Orlando next season after the club extended him for his third year. The 20-year-old played a decent amount during his rookie season and averaged 4.6 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists across 16.9 minutes per game in 69 regular-season appearances (33 starts). However, Black may struggle to find similar playing time with Kentavious Caldwell-Pope joining the club this season.

Magic's Anthony Black: Does little in spot start Wednesday
Black finished with four points (2-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 23 minutes during Wednesday's 118-100 victory over the Knicks.
After falling out of the rotation as of late, Black was inserted into the starting lineup Wednesday with Jalen Suggs (groin), Markelle Fultz (rest) and Gary Harris (calf) all sidelined. Black wasn't able to do much with his extended minutes, however, as most of the offensive firepower came from Franz Wagner and All-Star Paolo Banchero. Black figures to return to a deep bench role once his Magic teammates return from injuries.

Magic's Anthony Black: Efficient scorer off bench
Black totaled 20 points (7-9 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block over 30 minutes during Monday's 131-129 loss to the Mavericks.
Black missed just two shots from the field and delivered instant offense off the bench, but his contributions were not enough to secure the victory against a Mavericks team led by a red-hot Luka Doncic. Black has endured a fair share of struggles in his rookie year, and in fact, this was just the sixth time he scored in double digits all season long. He's averaging just 6.3 points per game when deployed off the bench, so it wouldn't be surprising if this was just an odd explosive outing for him.
