Afflalo managed 3.4 points, 1.2 rebounds and 0.6 assists across 53 games played with Orlando in 2017-18.

EDGE Analysis

The 31-year-old found himself buried on the depth chart in Orlando as his season averages of points, rebounds, assists and three-pointers made all drastically declined from prior years. Afflalo will be a free agent this summer and should probably hunt down a contract with a contender.

Afflalo will come off the bench for Thursday's contest against Philly.

EDGE Analysis

With Evan Fournier (knee), Jonathon Simmons (wrist) and Jonathan Isaac (foot) all out, coach Frank Vogel has opted to switch up his starting five once more, inserting Wesley Iwundu over Afflalo. It's not exactly clear if Afflalo will play in the contest, as he's been known to pick up DNP-CDs.

Afflalo will start Tuesday's game against the Raptors, John Denton of OrlandoMagic.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Magic will be without Jonathon Simmons (wrist), so Afflalo will get the starting nod in his place. It will be just the third start of the season for Afflalo, who was a DNP-CD in each of the team's last two games.

Afflalo was suspended two games for throwing a punch at the Timberwolves' Nemanja Bjelica, Shams Charania of Yahoo Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's a seemingly light suspension considering Afflalo threw a legit punch at Bjelica, but the shooting guard will officially be out until next Tuesday's game against the Kings. His absence shouldn't have much of an impact on the team's rotation, but it likely will result in more backcourt minutes for Evan Fournier and Mario Hezonja.

Afflalo was ejected from Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves after throwing a punch at Minnesota's Nemanja Bjelica, John Denton of OrlandoMagic.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Afflalo and Bjelica got tangled up in the second quarter of Tuesday's contest, with Afflalo throwing a punch before Bjelica put him in a headlock. Considering the situation, there's a very good chance Afflalo faces some sort of suspension, so that will be something to monitor over the next few days. The Magic's next game comes on Thursday against the Cavaliers. Prior to the ejection, Afflalo finished scoreless (0-2 FG), with one rebound across five minutes.

Afflalo totaled two points (1-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and one assist in nine minutes during Wednesday's 112-94 loss to the Bulls.

EDGE Analysis

Afflalo returned to the lineup following a three-game absence due to back spasms. However, rookie wing Wesley Iwundu was given the starting nod with Evan Fournier (ankle) sidelined, and 10 players on the Magic saw more minutes than Afflalo. Healthy or not, he has not been worthy of much attention this season regardless of fantasy format.

Afflalo will be available for Wednesday's game against the Bulls, Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Back spasms kept the veteran on the shelf for the last three games, but he's been cleared to return to action and is expected to be available in his regular role. With Terrence Ross still out and Evan Fournier (ankle) sidelined, Afflalo could be set for a slight increase in minutes. The 32-year-old is averaging 4.3 points and 1.7 rebounds in 19.8 minutes of action over his last six contests.

Afflalo (back) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bulls, Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Afflalo has been sidelined for the last three games while contending with back spasms, but the Magic will presumably see how the swingman is feeling following morning shootaround Wednesday before determining his availability for the road tilt in Chicago. In the event Afflalo is cleared to play, he could assume a starting role on the wing with Evan Fournier (ankle) already ruled out for Wednesday.

Afflalo (back) is officially listed as out for Sunday's game against the Pistons, Keith Langlois of Pistons.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Afflalo will miss his third consecutive game as he continues to be bothered by back spasms. Look for Jonathan Simmons and Mario Hezonja to pick up some additional minutes in his absence. Afflalo will get an additional two days of rest before the Magic travel to Chicago to take on the Bulls on Wednesday.

Afflalo (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Pistons, Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Afflalo is in danger of missing his third straight contest Sunday as he continues to deal with back spasms. More concrete word on his status should emerge after Sunday's morning shootaround. If he's ultimately sidelined, Jonathon Simmons and Mario Hezonja will probably continue seeing expanded roles.
