Anthony missed the team’s season-opening defeat to the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday and now remains questionable for Friday. His absence at Thursday’s practice doesn’t bode well for his status either. Anthony was the team’s leading scorer a season ago, so the Magic will certainly look to get him back in action as fast as possible. Orlando will hope to notch their first win of the season as sizeable underdogs against the Hawks. 

In 2021, Anthony averaged 16.3 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 5.7 assists in 65 starts. If he is unable to go, it’ll likely be Jalen Suggs at point guard for a second-straight game. Keep an eye out for updates on his status when Friday rolls around.
