The Magic were without their top four scorers for the third straight game Thursday night, but help could be on the way soon.
Five games into the season, the Orlando Magic lost All-Star Paolo Banchero to an oblique injury. Nearly two months later, the former No. 1 pick is gearing up for his long-awaited return.

Orlando Magic superstar Paolo Banchero caused a bit of a stir on social media Tuesday by saying that "the wait is almost over," presumably referring to his impending return from a torn right oblique.
