Paolo Banchero Health, Injury Updates & History

He was playing at an elite level before an oblique injury disrupted his season last year.

Has returned from the torn oblique he sustained at the beginning of the season and has shown no effects of the injury in his return, in the three games he’s been back, he’s averaged 25.3pts per game along with 6.7 rebounds and 3.7 assists, in only 26.5 minutes per game, his minutes might be down due to conditioning but by all appearances, he has fully recovered from his torn oblique and should be a good sight for Franz Wagner’s comeback from the same injury

Is a game-time decision for the Jan. 9th game after his torn oblique diagnosis from early in the season, he's been out since Oct. 31st and as other Magic players have gone out, Banchero's return will be a welcome one

Was diagnosed with a torn oblique and will be re-evaluated in 4-6, this is a devastating blow to the Orlando Magic who have been a rising team in the East, Banchero had been off to a great start to the season averaging 29pts, 8.8reb and 5.6ast in the first five games
