Paolo Banchero Out Multiple Weeks With High Ankle Sprain

Orlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero will be sidelined for multiple weeks after the club announced he has a low-grade high ankle sprain.

Orlando loses its focal point

Banchero’s absence removes the Magic’s primary frontcourt creator from the rotation for an extended stretch. The team did not provide a date for his return or identify a specific next game for a potential comeback.

  1. The Magic confirmed that Banchero suffered a low-grade high ankle sprain.
  2. The injury is expected to keep the forward out for multiple weeks.
  3. Orlando will need to redistribute Banchero’s minutes and offensive workload while he recovers.
