Orlando Magic Injury Report: Latest on Paolo Banchero and Jalen Suggs' status for game vs. Jazz (Jan. 5)

The injury-plagued Orlando Magic will take on the Utah Jazz in a regular season game on Sunday. The Magic's season has been marred by injuries, with key players like Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner and most recently, Jalen Suggs, all sidelined due to various ailments.

Head coach Jamahl Mosley will once again have a depleted roster for the matchup against the Jazz, as three key starters have been ruled out. Paolo Banchero, who was diagnosed with a torn right oblique in late October last year, remains out but is making progress toward a return.

The young star was seen taking shots during warmups ahead of the Magic's previous game against the Toronto Raptors.

Jalen Suggs is also unavailable after suffering a severe lower back injury in Friday's game against the Raptors. Additionally, Gary Harris will miss the game as he continues to recover from a left hamstring strain.

The Wagner brothers are both sidelined as well. Mo Wagner is out for the season with a torn ACL in his left knee, while Franz Wagner, who tore his right oblique earlier in the season, is currently undergoing rehabilitation.

Meanwhile, Anthony Black is listed as "questionable" for Sunday’s game as he deals with a low back contusion.

Despite these challenges and the significant time missed by key players, the Magic have performed admirably. Orlando sits fourth in the Eastern Conference standings with an impressive 21-15 record through 36 games, showcasing their resilience and depth.
