Magic star forward Paolo Banchero will miss at least Friday's game against the Nets, and potentially additional contests with a groin strain, according to a report from ESPN's Shams Charania. Following Friday's game, Banchero will be evaluated ”daily moving forward.”
The fourth-year wing is off to another strong start for the Magic this season. Through 12 games, Banchero is averaging 21.7 points, 8.7 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game on 46.1% shooting from the floor.
