Paolo Banchero Out Again On Friday
2 years agoOrlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero (ankle) won't play against Phoenix. The 19-year-old will now miss his second consecutive game as he continues to be sidelined by a sprained ankle. Without Banchero, Chuma Okeke will remain in the starting lineup. Okeke scored only eight points in 32 minutes while filling in for the rookie on Wednesday night, although he's certainly capable of playing much better. With that said, Franz Wagner, Wendell Carter Jr., and Jalen Suggs are the favorites to lead the way offensively on Friday night.
