Paolo Banchero Spotted Shooting On Saturday
2 months agoOrlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero (oblique) was seen shooting during Saturday's practice. While he's still not running , it's at least a positive step in the right direction. Banchero was having a terrific season before suffering a torn oblique in October, averaging career-highs in points (29.0), boards (8.8), and assists (5.6). He was also shooting 34.4% from deep. Without question, the 22-year-old was on the cusp of a breakout. But fantasy managers will need to wait at least a few more weeks until he's back on the floor. But even when Banchero returns, he will likely need to progressively increase his workload until he is back to full strength. With Franz Wagner (oblique) also on the shelf, Jalen Suggs should remain Orlando's top offensive contributor. Goga Bitadze and Anthony Black could also continue to see an uptick in production while Banchero is out of commission.
