"Orlando forward Paolo Banchero has a strained left groin and will not play for the Magic when they host the Brooklyn Nets on Friday night. An MRI exam on Thursday confirmed the strain - which was also the team's original diagnosis when Banchero left Wednesday's game in New York in the second quarter and did not return. There is no return-to-play timeline yet, the Magic said, noting that it'll be determined after seeing how Banchero responds to treatment."
""There was a moment he was going up and down the court, I think it was a quick turn and then I just saw him pause for a second," Magic coach Jamahl Mosley said after Wednesday's win over the Knicks. "I looked at him just to try to see where he was with it and then I got him out of there before anything changed." Banchero is averaging 21.7 points, 8.7 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game so far this season."
