Four games at 52.5% shooting is a tiny sample against his 2025‑26 baseline, so expect some efficiency regression; the ankle issue has cleared.

Black exited Saturday's 126-119 overtime loss to the Warriors with left leg cramps and did not return, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Black finished with 18 points (7-19 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, six assists, four steals and three blocks over 38 minutes. The Magic don't play again until Tuesday, giving Black plenty of time to recover from Saturday's cramping issue.
Black ended Thursday's 117-104 loss to the Suns with 10 points (3-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and one steal in 31 minutes.
Black returned to the starting lineup after sitting out Monday's contest against Washington for ankle injury management. Although his scoring was modest, the 22-year-old contributed across multiple categories while handling additional backcourt responsibilities with Jalen Suggs (knee) sidelined. Black committed five turnovers, but his versatile production and substantial playing time should keep him relevant in fantasy formats while Orlando remains shorthanded.
Black (ankle) is off the injury report for Thursday's game against the Suns, per Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel.
Black is set to return after sitting out Monday's tilt versus the Wizards for maintenance purposes. Over his first four appearances, the combo guard has averaged 16.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.3 steals and 2.3 three-pointers in 28.0 minutes per game.
Black will be rested Monday against the Wizards.
The Magic are listing him out for left ankle injury management, so they are taking a cautious approach for the second leg of this back-to-back set. He finished with 23 points (6-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 10-11 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and two steals over 33 minutes Sunday against Boston. Jase Richardson, Jevon Carter and Jamal Cain could be more involved as a result.
Black closed Sunday's 108-97 loss to Boston with 23 points (6-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 10-11 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and two steals over 33 minutes.
Black tied Tristan da Silva for the team lead in scoring, while the former accounted for more than half of Orlando's 19 free-throw attempts in the loss. It was good to see Black attacking the rim with his three-point shot not falling, and his eight boards also represented a season high. He'll continue to be a focal point for the Magic on both sides of the ball for as long as Paolo Banchero (ankle) and Jalen Suggs (knee) remain out.
