Cole Anthony Downgraded To Out
Cole Anthony (quad) has been downgraded to out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. The young guard was a late addition to the injury report due to a right quad contusion. It's not shocking to see the Magic taking the cautious approach and holding him out of this game. Anthony Black and Gary Harris should both see an extended look with Anthony unable to play. Between the two, Harris has the higher upside due to his scoring ability.
