Before the Sixers play host to the Orlando Magic in their biggest test of the young season, let's catch up on a Magic team that has a bit of a different look.

Paolo Banchero and Jamahl Mosley praise Desmond Bane’s fit and leadership after Orlando Magic’s 125-121 win over the Miami Heat.

Is 81 minutes of play a big enough sample size to take real analysis from? The answer is no, absolutely not, don't even bother. Yet, one player has done so muc

Banchero contributed 24 points (7-21 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 9-11 FT), 10 rebounds, two blocks and one assist across 36 minutes in Saturday's 110-98 loss to the Bulls. Banchero had a bounce-back performance in the scoring column after posting just 11 points in Friday's loss to Atlanta.

Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner scored 24 points each, Desmond Bane added 23 in his Orlando debut, and the Magic beat the Miami Heat 125-121 in the season opener for both teams.

Four straight seasons of improvement seem like a trend upward, but not for the Orlando Magic. Between 2020-21 and 2023-24, the Orlando Magic enjoyed an increase in their win totals from 21 to 47.
