The Orlando Magic have ruled out center Wendell Carter Jr. (wrist) for Friday night's game against the Toronto Raptors. This will be his second consecutive missed game and the fourth game he's missed over the team's last five contests. The former Duke Blue Devil is currently nursing a left wrist sprain. His next chance to play will be on Sunday against the New York Knicks. Chuma Okeke will likely remain in the starting five with Carter out. Okeke is a decent source of three-point shooting and rebounding, but offers little else for fantasy purposes. He averaged 1.7 three-pointers and 5.6 rebounds per game in March while logging 27.3 minutes per contest.

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (wrist) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Carter is dealing with a left wrist sprain. The injury has caused him to miss three of the team's last four games. He was certainly productive in the one game that he did play over the past week, which came on Monday. In that game, he racked up 15 points, 12 boards and six assists over 27 minutes. Chuma Okeke took Carter's spot in the team's starting lineup on Wednesday with Carter out. Okeke hit two three-pointers, scored six points and grabbed eight rebounds over 30 minutes in the game. He's usable in fantasy if Carter is ruled out, but his upside is minimal.

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (wrist) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. Carter is currently hampered by a sprained left wrist. He missed two straight games last week before returning to action against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday. He put up 15 points, 12 boards and six assists over 27 minutes on Monday. The team might be practicing caution with him or they might be attempting to juice their lottery odds. Chuma Okeke will likely step into the starting five to take Carter's place on Wednesday.

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (wrist) will return from a two-game absence on Monday when the team faces the Cleveland Cavaliers. He will be back in the starting five for the game while Chuma Okeke will be pushed back to the bench. Carter was out the last two games with a sprained left wrist. He was playing extremely well before the injury. Over eight games in March, he's averaged 19.5 points and 11.5 rebounds per game while shooting 56% from the field. Make sure to get him back in your lineup for Monday's slate.

Orlando Magic forward Wendell Carter Jr. (wrist) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's game against Sacramento. Carter was removed from the injury report on Friday. However, it appears that his sprained left wrist is still giving him some problems, so fantasy managers should prepare for another potential absence. Nonetheless, if the big man is out again, Chuma Okeke, who has averaged 9.8 points, 6.1 boards, and 2.5 steals throughout 13 starts this season, will likely take his place in the lineup once again.

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (wrist, ankle) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings. As expected, Carter will return after dealing with some nagging injuries. His return will mean less minutes for Chuma Okeke and possibly Mo Bamba. Both players will lose value with Carter returning to the court. Fantasy managers should expect Carter to resume his normal role in the rotation.

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday night's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He is dealing with both an ankle injury and a left wrist injury. Mo Bamba, Chuma Okeke and Moritz Wagner should all benefit from Carter's absence. Wagner has a chance to score in double-figures with solid rebounds, but Okeke is the more intriguing player overall. Okeke should see close to 30 minutes on Wednesday and he could provide solid defensive stats as well as some three-pointers and rebounds.

Orlando Magic power forward/center Wendell Carter Jr. (wrist, ankle) and shooting guard/small forward Gary Harris (knee) have been deemed questionable to play in Wednesday's game against the Thunder, the second leg of a back-to-back. Carter logged a team-high 19 points during Tuesday's win over the Warriors, and an absence would pave the way for Chuma Okeke to become an appealing DFS commodity. Harris has been a solid depth piece for the second unit, while an absence could open more minutes for R.J. Hampton. Carter has enjoyed a breakout campaign in his first full season with the Magic, as he is just one of 14 players in the league to average a double-double with points and rebounds this season.

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He was originally listed as questionable, but the team has decided to sit Carter. Moritz Wagner could slide into the starting five, while Mo Bamba gets a higher volume. Between the two, Bamba has more upside in terms of fantasy production.

Orlando Magic power forward/center Wendell Carter Jr. (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday night's game against the Detroit Pistons. He is currently hampered by a left ankle sprain. Fellow big man Chuma Okeke (knee) has been ruled out for the game. So if Carter sits, we could see a big game for Mo Bamba and extended minutes for Moritz Wagner. Wagner is certainly someone worthy of streaming or DFS consideration whether or not Carter is out. He has been making the most of his minutes lately, including on Tuesday when he went for 17 points and 11 boards over 22 minutes.

Orlando Magic power forward/center Wendell Carter Jr. (illness) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Raptors, paving the way for Chuma Okeke to slide into the starting five. Carter tied his season high with 41 minutes played Wednesday, an outing in which he logged his sixth consecutive double-double. Okeke, who will be making his 11th start of the season, has not had a discernibly larger offensive role when among the first five. His shooting percentage as a starter sits at just 36.1%, having averaged 1.2 more PPG among the starting unit (9.4, vs. 8.2 as a reserve). Carter's next chance to take the floor comes Saturday vs. Memphis, while Okeke's DFS value is inherently tied to Carter's availability.

Orlando Magic power forward/center Wendell Carter Jr. (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against Philadelphia, marking his seventh straight absence due to a sore left hamstring. It sounds as if Carter is progressing toward a return, but without him in the frontcourt, DFS managers can eye Moritz Wagner as a GPP option. Carter -- who is averaging a double-double for the year -- was on a rebounding tear prior to hitting the sidelines, having accrued double-digit rebounds in each of his last seven outings. His next chance to suit up comes Friday vs. the Lakers.

Orlando Magic power forward/center Wendell Carter Jr. (hamstring) and center Mo Bamba (toe) have been ruled out for Wednesday's contest vs. Washington. Carter's absence has now stretched to three contests, while Bamba's absence opens the door for Robin Lopez to play a substantial role in the DFS market Wednesday. Prior to the hamstring issue cropping up, Carter was on a double-double tear, notching five in a row to end December/begin January. Bamba remains an exciting season-long commodity in his own right due to his shot-blocking prowess -- 2.1 per game, the fourth-highest mark in the league. The next chance for either player to suit up comes Friday against the Hornets.

Orlando Magic power forward Wendell Carter Jr. (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's game vs. the Pistons due to left hamstring soreness. Freddie Gillespie will shift into the starting five in place of Carter, elevating his DFS appeal due to his punt play price tag. After returning from a leg injury that appeared as if it could have sidelined Carter long-term, the 22-year-old has recorded seven consecutive double-digit rebound performances. On track to set new career highs with 13.1 points and 10.3 boards on a nightly basis, Carter has emerged as a must-roster season-long fantasy asset. His next chance to take the floor comes Sunday against Washington.

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. returned to the lineup on Thursday with a really nice all-around performance, racking up 17 points, 12 rebounds, three assists, two steals and three blocks in a 110-104 loss to New Orleans. He shot 5-for-12 from the field and 6-for-6 at the line with a 1-for-3 effort from three-point range. Carter Jr. also impressed by having zero turnovers in 30 minutes. His return pushed Robin Lopez back to the bench and he only made a six-minute cameo. A Christmas Day meeting with Miami is now coming up for Orlando. Carter Jr. should have a chance to shine in that special matchup as well, with Miami struggling with injuries and playing without starting center Bam Adebayo (thumb).

Orlando Magic point guard Cole Anthony (ankle) and power forward/center Wendell Carter Jr. (leg) have both been given the green light to take the floor for Thursday's contest against New Orleans. Anthony returns after a three-game absence, while Carter was held out the past two games after having been helped off the floor last week. The return of the team's leading scorer (Anthony, 19.9 per game) and rebounder (Carter, 9.9 per game) gives Orlando a significant boost to its rotation. Anthony and Carter can both be expected to play sizable roles from the get-go, bumping Franz Wagner, Gary Harris, and Chuma Okeke from their previously gargantuan usage.

Orlando Magic point guard Cole Anthony (ankle) and center Wendell Carter Jr. (leg) won't play on Wednesday against Atlanta. Both guys were considered questionable for the contest, but they are now ruled out. Anthony will miss a third straight game, while Wendell Carter Jr. sits out a second consecutive matchup. Robin Lopez keeps his place as the starting center, and he's produced a couple of strong performances lately in extended minutes, which should make him an attractive DFS piece. Hassani Gravett will be the starting point guard, but he hasn't really provided much for fantasy managers, despite getting decent minutes in the last two games.

Orlando Magic point guard Cole Anthony (ankle) and power forward/center Wendell Carter Jr. (leg) have been listed as questionable to suit up for Wednesday's game against Atlanta. Anthony is looking to return from a two-game absence due to a sprained right ankle, while Carter is dealing with a strained muscle in his right leg. Without the duo, Orlando's rotations have been thrown into near disarray; Robin Lopez played a massive frontcourt role last game, whereas Mychal Mulder and Hassani Gravett saw sizable minutes increases. Should either Anthony or Carter return, they would stand to have significant DFS upside, whereas absences would funnel more shots toward Franz Wagner and Gary Harris.

Orlando Magic forward/center Wendell Carter Jr. (leg) won't play against Brooklyn. The 22-year-old sustained a muscle strain during Friday's matchup against the Heat and was taken back to the locker room in a wheelchair. This certainly isn't ideal, mainly with most of the team out because of health and safety protocols. Nonetheless, it appears as if Chuma Okeke, who had 18 points, 10 boards, six steals, and a block against Miami, will be a popular DFS option again on Saturday night.

Orlando Magic power forward/center Wendell Carter Jr. (knee, leg) departed Friday's game against the Heat early due to what appears to be a significant right leg injury. Carter needed to be helped off the court by teammates before departing on a wheelchair. Prior to his exit, he delivered four points and five rebounds across 11 minutes. The injury comes amidst a wave of negative news for Orlando, who is already down Jalen Suggs (thumb) for an extended period, as well as Cole Anthony (ankle) and Mo Bamba (health and safety protocols) in the short-term. Carter had been enjoying a breakout season, averaging 12.9 points and 10.1 boards per contest. Check back for further updates on his status as they become available.
