Orlando Magic rookie forward Paolo Banchero will likely be sidelined for at least one more week because of his sprained left ankle. Banchero, who’ll miss his fifth consecutive game because of the injury in the Magic’s road game against the Bulls on Friday, didn’t travel with the team to Chicago on Thursday. He told the Orlando Sentinel ahead of Wednesday’s home loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves that his ankle had progressed but he was still experiencing soreness, adding that it was his first time injuring it.

I’m disappointed Paolo Banchero will miss Friday’s @Chicago Bulls game but the Magic, in a major rebuild, have some nice young pieces including Bol Bol who had 26-12 last night against Minnesota.He was on loan to @windycitybulls when playing for Denver. 6:45 pre @670TheScore – 7:50 PM

The Timberwolves handled the Banchero-less Magic as they should in the first quarter. They lead 42-24. Edwards with 19. Now to hold that lead for another 36 minutes. – 7:35 PM

On his future with the Italian national team: “I have to talk to my team about it, with my agent, my family. It would be a great opportunity, I can’t deny it, but there’s still time to go. I have to think about it”. -via Sportando / November 16, 2022
No. 1 pick Paolo Banchero did not practice with the Orlando Magic on Tuesday after missing the past three games due to a sprained left ankle. Banchero suffered the injury in a loss to the Houston Rockets on Nov. 7. He appeared to land awkwardly on the foot after driving to the rim and drawing contact late in the fourth quarter. He is still experiencing soreness in the ankle and will remain day to day moving forward. “Obviously, he is not happy, understandably,” Magic head coach Jamahl Mosley said. “He wants to be out there with his teammates but he is doing everything we’re asking him to do in order to get back on the court. He is going to continue to do that.” -via The Rookie Wire / November 15, 2022
