Magic star Paolo Banchero opened up about facing the Celtics and Jayson Tatum ahead of their Friday night clash.

With the February 6 trade deadline approaching, the Orlando Magic face critical decisions about how to bolster their roster. Injuries have prevented the team from fully evaluating the potential of their current lineup, but their league-worst three-point shooting remains a fatal flaw that could doom them in the postseason if left unaddressed.

Orlando Magic forwards Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner again placed in the top 10 of All-Star fan voting returns on Thursday, but their standing changed.

Paolo Banchero flexed his in-house basketball court to his fans. The Orlando Magic star appeared via ESPN's "Andscape" with Marc J.

Paolo Banchero made his NBA return after months of injury in a game against Giannis Antetokounmpo's Milwaukee Bucks. Postgame, Giannis had surprising and encouraging words, praising Banchero’s resilience and potential as he rejoined the league’s action.

The 2024-25 season continues to roll along in January. At this point, teams are starting to separate themselves from the rest of the league. It's evident the NBA's best three teams are the Cleveland Cavaliers, Oklahoma City Thunder and Boston Celtics.

Having Banchero back in the mix gives the Magic offense a whole new set of weapons. And if he’s able to return to the form he evidenced in the early stages of the 2024-25 campaign, then he should be able to keep the Magic as one of the best teams in the East as the regular season rapidly approaches its mid-point.

Orlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero will not play in Thursday’s game against Timberwolves after being listed as questionable earlier in the day, a potential sign of his return to the lineup for the first time since Oct. 30.
