Orlando Magic guard/forward Franz Wagner sprained his left ankle on Sunday versus Chicago and had to make an early exit. He was limited to 20 minutes, scoring 16 points on 5-for-10 shooting and notching four rebounds with three assists and one steal. X-rays on Wagner's ankle were negative, but he might still have to spend some time on the sidelines. Orlando gets back to work on Tuesday against Houston, with Joe Ingles possibly getting a bigger role in Wagner's absence. The Australian veteran has struggled to put up fantasy value in 2023-24. Cole Anthony and Anthony Black could also get extra action, with the former the more attractive fantasy option.
Orlando Magic guard/forward Caleb Houstan (ankle) won't face the Pelicans on Wednesday. He will be sidelined for a second consecutive contest with an ankle injury. Houstan has been used as a starter at times to rest Gary Harris. Harris will be good to go on Wednesday after having one of his best games of the season last time out against Portland with 14 points and four rebounds. Repeating the effort against a much better team will be tough. Houstan will get his next chance to return on Friday versus Charlotte.
Orlando Magic guard/forward Caleb Houstan (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's tilt with the New Orleans Pelicans. The 21-year-old could miss his second consecutive contest due to right ankle soreness. Should Houstan be out of the lineup, forward Jonathan Isaac may see some more time on the court. However, Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner will likely grab the available minutes. Houstan has averaged 11.8 minutes per contest across 56 games.
Orlando Magic guard Gary Harris (foot) is expected to suit up ahead of Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He sat out on Saturday but appears to be ready to play again as he has been removed from the injury report. His return to the lineup should push Caleb Houstan back to the second unit. Despite starting, Harris hasn't brought much to the table in terms of fantasy value lately.
Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (hamstring) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Isaac was sidelined on Saturday due to right hamstring maintenance. It doesn't sound like Isaac is dealing with anything serious but the Magic want to keep him healthy ahead of the postseason. Isaac should be back in the rotation on Monday, but he hasn't seen a huge role in the rotation lately.
