Paolo Banchero, who blasted an incredible game-winning home run on Saturday night, is enjoying an incredible season and has established himself as a franchise player. Unfortunately, he won’t be available for the Orlando Magic’s Sunday game against the Atlanta Hawks.
Banchero’s illness will keep him out of Sunday night’s game, the Magic’s PR staff said. Orlando won’t have its top forward for the first time this season in that matchup.
INDIVIDUAL UPDATE: Due to sickness, Orlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero will not participate tonight vs Atlanta. This season, Banchero won’t have missed a game before.
Regretfully, Banchero won’t be able to suit up for the Hawks game after his performance against the Detroit Pistons proved to be crucial. Compared to Detroit, Atlanta’s team is far superior. Thus, it will be intriguing to watch how the Magic change their lineup without Paolo Banchero. On Sunday night, we may anticipate seeing more playing time for Joe Ingles, Moritz Wagner, and Jonathan Isaac.
Paolo Banchero won’t be playing in this game, for sure. After taking home the Rookie of the Year award the previous season, he has made some progress. At the moment, his averages per game are 22.7 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 5.2 assists. The Magic are now in sixth place in the Eastern Conference, and his efforts have helped them stay in the playoff hunt.
His contributions on the court will be hard to replicate because he has established himself as a franchise player for the Magic. Having said that, don’t forget to watch the game starting at 7 p.m. Eastern.
