Injury report

Orlando Magic

  • Franz WagnerProbable· back Oct 1
    Report note

    Wagner was limited to 34 regular-season appearances for Orlando last season but remained productive when available, averaging 20.6 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 30.0 minutes per game. The 25-year-old remains one of the centerpieces of the Magic's offense and should continue handling a significant scoring and playmaking workload alongside Paolo Banchero. Wagner's well-rounded production gives him considerable fantasy upside entering his sixth NBA season.

    Cost -2.2 per 100
  • Jonathan IsaacProbable· back Oct 1
    Report note

    The Magic waived Isaac on June 27, but there was always mutual interest in a return. Across 52 regular-season appearances during the 2025-26 campaign, Isaac produced averages of 2.6 points and 2.5 rebounds in 10.0 minutes per contest before a left knee sprain sidelined him through the end of the season. He's likely going to be facing an uphill battle for playing time in 2026-27.

Chicago Bulls

  • Josh GiddeyQuestionable· back Oct 1
    Report note

    Chicago has focused primarily on frontcourt additions so far this offseason with their recent moves, setting up Giddey with plenty of talent around him for playmaking opportunities. Anfernee Simons (wrist) and Collin Sexton are both unrestricted free agents this summer, potentially leaving Giddey with a ton of usage on his plate in the backcourt next season.

    Cost -2.0 per 100
  • Zach CollinsQuestionable· back Oct 1
    Report note

    Collins will return to Chicago on a multi-year deal rather than testing free agency. The big man was limited to just 10 games during the 2025-26 campaign, averaging 9.7 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 18.4 minutes per contest while dealing with a left wrist fracture early in the season before suffering a right toe sprain that ultimately required surgery. Collins figures to provide center depth off the bench alongside Jalen Smith (calf) behind the recently acquired Nic Claxton (finger).
