Orlando Magic injury report

6 players on the current report.

Izaiyah NelsonOut
ORL · Ankle · 2026-11-18
With Nelson still in recovery mode from the left ankle surgery he underwent this summer, his path back to game action remains delayed for the early part of the season. The rookie big man is on a two-way contract with the Magic, so his short-term absence mainly affects his developmental timeline rather than Orlando's regular rotation.
Noah PendaOut
ORL · Hamstring · 2026-11-18
Penda suffered the hamstring tear in Friday's 136-115 preseason win over the Heat. It's unknown how long the injury will keep the 21-year-old off the floor. However, since it's a different injury than the one he suffered in the same hamstring during training camp, the team may take a cautious approach regarding his return. Penda, the No. 32 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, averaged 3.8 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists over 12.8 minutes per outing in 59 regular-season games in 2025-26. While he's not expected to be a mainstay in the rotation throughout the 2026-27 campaign, his absence could open up a few minutes for Tristan Da Silva.
Anthony BlackDay-To-Day
ORL · Undisclosed · 2026-10-21
Sweeney also added that Black looked good and was moving well in practice after sitting out the entire preseason schedule. The 22-year-old guard is set to continue ramping up in practice and can be considered questionable for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Hawks until Orlando provides an update on his status. If he needs to miss time, Jase Richardson and Jevon Carter would be candidates for increased burn.
Franz WagnerDay-To-Day
ORL · Shoulder · 2026-10-21
Wagner exited Friday's preseason finale due to right shoulder soreness and did not return. The severity of the issue is unclear, though the 25-year-old forward can be considered questionable for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Hawks. If he's forced to miss time, Anthony Black (ankle), Jamal Cain and Tristan da Silva would all be candidates for increased playing time.
Jase RichardsonDay-To-Day
ORL · Back · 2026-10-21
Richardson exited Friday's 136-115 preseason win over Miami due to back soreness. While he hasn't been officially ruled out for Opening Night against Atlanta, it appears there's a chance he won't be available for that one. With Noah Penda (hamstring) ruled out and Franz Wagner (shoulder) dealing with an injury, Tristan da Silva and Anthony Black could see more minutes.
Jonathan IsaacDay-To-Day
ORL · Undisclosed · 2026-10-21
Isaac has been a limited participant at training camp and did not make any appearances in the preseason. He's questionable at best ahead of Opening Night.
