Anthony Black

Orlando lost its starting forward to a high ankle sprain, opening the door for Anthony Black and Tristan da Silva.

With Franz Wagner sidelined with a high ankle sprain, Black made a return to the starting lineup. He didn't have an efficient night on offense, but there were some nice moments for him, and he was able to stuff the stat sheet. Wagner's injury will likely keep him sidelined for multiple weeks, which makes this a great opportunity for Black. Currently rostered in 31 percent of Yahoo! leagues, the 2023 lottery pick should be considered a priority streaming option.

In Orlando's first game without Franz Wagner (ankle), Black will slide into the starting unit. This will be Black's fifth start this season, and he has generally been productive. Wagner is expected to miss multiple weeks, and if Black is able to maintain this starting role, he will be a must-roster player in most formats.

Black is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Heat.

Franz landed awkwardly on his left leg during Sunday's game, and while Charania's report doesn't include an official timeline from the team, managers should expect a multi-week absence. Anthony Black and Tristan da Silva both stepped up when Paolo Banchero missed time, and both should get a similar boost with Wagner unavailable.
