Injury report

New York Knicks

Nobody listed.

Orlando Magic

  • Paolo BancheroOut· back Nov 22Report updated ·
    Report note

    Banchero is expected to be sidelined for the next four-to-six weeks due to a right high-ankle sprain, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. Banchero left during Friday's loss against the Timberwolves due to an ankle injury, and follow-up tests have confirmed a high-ankle sprain for the fifth-year forward. With an extended absence expected, the Magic will have to rely more heavily on Franz Wagner and Desmond Bane offensively, and Tristan da Silva figures to be the top candidate to enter the Magic's starting lineup for as long as Banchero is sidelined.

  • Jonathan IsaacOut· back Nov 16Report updated ·
    Report note

    Isaac (knee) is out for Tuesday's game against Sacramento. Isaac has yet to make his 2026-27 debut while continuing his rehab from a left knee injury. His next opportunity to take the court will arrive Wednesday in Utah.

  • Noah PendaOut· back Nov 22Report updated ·
    Report note

    Penda (hamstring) is making progress but remains without a timetable to return to game action, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports. Penda suffered a partially torn hamstring in the preseason and can still be considered week-to-week moving forward. With the second-year forward and Paolo Banchero (ankle) both sidelined, Tristan da Silva and Jamal Cain should continue seeing increased minutes.

  • Izaiyah NelsonOut· back Nov 18
    Report note

    Team president Jeff Weltman said Monday that Nelson (ankle) remains about a month away from returning to the court after offseason surgery, per Philip Rossman-Reich of OrlandoMagicDaily.com. With Nelson still in recovery mode from the left ankle surgery he underwent this summer, his path back to game action remains delayed for the early part of the season. The rookie big man is on a two-way contract with the Magic, so his short-term absence mainly affects his developmental timeline rather than Orlando's regular rotation.
