EDGE Analysis
Black drew a start in Orlando's final game before the All-Star break and logged four points, two rebounds, two assists and a steal in 23 minutes. However, he'll retreat to the bench since Jalen Suggs (groin) and Gary Harris (calf) are back in action Thursday.

Black finished with four points (2-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 23 minutes during Wednesday's 118-100 victory over the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
After falling out of the rotation as of late, Black was inserted into the starting lineup Wednesday with Jalen Suggs (groin), Markelle Fultz (rest) and Gary Harris (calf) all sidelined. Black wasn't able to do much with his extended minutes, however, as most of the offensive firepower came from Franz Wagner and All-Star Paolo Banchero. Black figures to return to a deep bench role once his Magic teammates return from injuries.

Black is starting Wednesday's game against the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
Black hasn't been part of Orlando's rotation in recent matchups, but he'll draw the start Wednesday since Markelle Fultz (rest), Gary Harris (calf) and Jalen Suggs (groin) have been ruled out. Over 29 starts this year, Black has averaged 5.1 points and 2.7 rebounds in 21.3 minutes per game.

Black totaled 20 points (7-9 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block over 30 minutes during Monday's 131-129 loss to the Mavericks.
EDGE Analysis
Black missed just two shots from the field and delivered instant offense off the bench, but his contributions were not enough to secure the victory against a Mavericks team led by a red-hot Luka Doncic. Black has endured a fair share of struggles in his rookie year, and in fact, this was just the sixth time he scored in double digits all season long. He's averaging just 6.3 points per game when deployed off the bench, so it wouldn't be surprising if this was just an odd explosive outing for him.

Black won't start Friday's game against the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Black will return to the bench in favor of Markelle Fultz, who's returning to action after missing Monday's loss to Cleveland due to rest. In 11 games as a reserve, Black has averaged 5.6 points, 1.7 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.3 steals-plus-blocks in 15.4 minutes per game.
