Black logged 16 points (7-18 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-6 FT), six rebounds, six assists and two steals in 37 minutes of play during Sunday's 102-99 win over the 76ers. Black has shown flashes of brilliance this season, and tonight was one of those nights for the second-year guard. He contributed across the board, which should please fantasy managers who played him in category leagues. However, Black is certainly benefitting from starter Jalen Suggs (back) being out, and even then he's remained unpredictable during Suggs' absence. He'll look to keep rolling Wednesday against the Bucks.

Stuffs stat sheet in win
Black logged 16 points (7-18 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-6 FT), six rebounds, six assists and two steals in 37 minutes of play during Sunday's 102-99 win over the 76ers. Black has shown flashes of brilliance this season, and tonight was one of those nights for the second-year guard. He contributed across the board, which should please fantasy managers who played him in category leagues. However, Black is certainly benefitting from starter Jalen Suggs (back) being out, and even then he's remained unpredictable during Suggs' absence. He'll look to keep rolling Wednesday against the Bucks.
Plays 26 minutes in return
Black (back) tallied nine points (1-5 FG, 7-8 FT), five assists, two steals and one rebound across 26 minutes Monday in the Magic's 103-94 win over the Knicks. Black made his return in a bench role after missing the Magic's previous four contests with a low back contusion. He's been active in getting to the free-throw line over his last two appearances and has converted 12 of his 13 attempts overall between those contests, but the second-year guard's low usage rate and typically poor shooting from the field limits his overall fantasy appeal. Black will likely lose out on some playing time if the Magic get at least one of Jalen Suggs (back), Paolo Banchero (oblique) or Gary Harris (hamstring) back for their next game Thursday versus the TImberwolves.
Not on injury report
Black (back) is available for Monday's game against the Knicks. Black was also available Sunday against the Jazz, but he never saw the floor. Whether or not he receives any playing time remains to be seen, but the guard does not appear on the injury report.
Back remains problem
Black (back) did not play during Sunday's 105-92 loss to Utah, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports. Even though Black was not inserted into Orlando's starting lineup Sunday, there was optimism he would play off the bench against Utah. Instead, he sat out completely because of his lower-back contusion, with the Magic heavily relying on Cole Anthony at point guard with Jalen Suggs (back) also out. Orlando head coach Jamahl Mosley was quoted saying "we're going to have to look at some more time, some more pre-game reps to be able to look at it the right way," suggesting he may not be available when the Magic are expected to play against the Knicks on Monday.
Coming off bench in return
Black is not in the Magic's starting lineup against the Jazz on Monday. Black was in Orlando's starting five Dec. 27 against New York. Despite Jalen Suggs (back) being ruled out for Sunday's game, Black will come off the bench following a three-game absence due to a back contusion while Cole Anthony gets his first start of the 2024-25 regular season.
Will play against Utah
Black (back) is available for Sunday's game against the Jazz. Black will return Sunday from a four-game absence due to a back contusion. He'll likely be inserted into the starting lineup due to Jalen Suggs (back) and Gary Harris (hamstring) being ruled out. In the 10 games prior to his injury, Black averaged 9.2 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 0.9 steals over 24.2 minutes per contest.
Iffy for Sunday
Black (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Jazz. Black is in danger of missing his fourth straight contest Sunday due to a back contusion. With Jalen Suggs (back) and Gary Harris (hamstring) already ruled out against Utah, Cole Anthony and Cory Joseph could receive increased playing time.
Won't play against Toronto
Black (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Raptors, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports. Black will miss a third straight game due to a back injury, and his next opportunity to play will be against the Jazz on Sunday. Gary Harris, Jett Howard, Trevelin Queen and Caleb Houstan will continue to see extended playing time off the bench for as long as Black is sidelined.
Iffy for Friday
Black (back) has been listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Raptors. Black has missed the last two games for Orlando while dealing with a bruised back. Coach Jamahl Mosley has widened his rotation in Black's absence, with players like Caleb Houston and Jett Howard seeing extra run.
