Orlando Magic third-year guard Cole Anthony underwent imaging after Wednesday’s 103-92 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, confirming a right internal oblique muscle injury.
Anthony will sit for Friday’s home game vs. the Charlotte Hornets and his return to play will depend on how he responds to rehabilitation and treatment, the Magic said in a statement Thursday morning.
While it wasn’t clear as of Thursday how or when Anthony suffered the injury, it appeared he hurt his right midsection on a drive during the middle of the fourth quarter when Cavaliers forward Cedi Osman blocked his floater with 4:55 remaining.
