Paolo Banchero suffered a muscle tear that will keep him out indefinitely, as reported by sources from Orlando Magic to ESPN.
Thus, he will miss at least a month of competition, as the team has stated he will be reevaluated in between 4 and 6 weeks. The injury occurred during the early Wednesday morning match in the defeat of the Florida team against the Chicago Bulls. His start to the season had been phenomenal, averaging 29 points and 5.6 assists in 36 minutes of play in the initial games. He scored 50 points on Monday against the Indiana Pacers, becoming the second youngest player to have a 50+10+5 game after LeBron James.
Franz Wagner's Moment
Despite the loss, Banchero managed to score 31 points against the Bulls, becoming the second player in Magic history to average 40 points in two consecutive games after Tracy McGrady. We will see how long he will be out and how Orlando copes with it. It is time for Franz Wagner to start earning his big contract.
