Brazdeikis posted 26 points (11-21 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 0-3 FT), eight assists, six rebounds, two steals and one block in 36 minutes during Saturday's 123-121 loss to the Long Island Nets.
EDGE Analysis
After playing just three minutes during Friday's win over the Pistons, Brazdeikis was sent to the G League to get some extended playing time. The Michigan product didn't disappoint, as he dished out a season-high eight assists to go along with his third straight 20-plus point outing for Lakeland. In four G League games this season, the 24-year-old is averaging 24.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.3 steals in 35.1 minutes.

Brazdeikis ended with eight points (3-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one assist and one steal across 10 minutes during Friday's 116-105 loss to the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
Brazdeikis didn't see much playing time during Friday's loss, but he converted 75 percent of his field-goal attempts and nearly scored in double figures. The 23-year-old has appeared in just five games since the start of the calendar year, and he's averaged just 2.4 points in 6.0 minutes per contest during that time.

Brazdeikis totaled nine points (4-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two assists and two rebounds in 21 minutes off the bench Thursday in the Magic's 136-118 loss to the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
In his second appearance since clearing the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols earlier this week, Brazdeikis established new season highs in both scoring and minutes. He was thrust into the larger role out of necessity, as the Magic only had nine players available with seven out with injuries and another five either in the health and safety protocols or still working to regain conditioning. The Magic could get at least one or two more bodies back in the mix for Sunday's game in Boston, so there's a good chance Brazdeikis' playing time takes a hit.

Brazdeikis is not listed on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against Milwaukee.
EDGE Analysis
This implies that the former Michigan standout has officially cleared the league's protocols and will be available Tuesday night. Normally, he's not a major factor in the rotation, but with several key players still sidelined, Brazdeikis could be set for an increased short-term role.

Brazdeikis has entered into the NBA's health and safety protocol Thursday night and subsequently won't play Friday against the Heat, Dan Savage of the Magic's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brazdeikis is the first member of the Magic to be placed in the league's protocol and hopefully will be the last. The 22-year-old will miss action Friday night and could be in line to miss additional action afterwards. Brazdeikis has appeared in 14 games this season, averaging just eight minutes per contest as a reserve.

Brazdeikis registered 23 points (9-19 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 109-96 loss to the Austin Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
Brazdeikis went 9-for-12 from inside the arc en route to 23 points. The 6-foot-6 forward continues to struggle shooting the ball from beyond the arc and is connecting on just 25.9 percent of his threes. Despite the poor shooting from distance, Brazdeikis is averaging 24.3 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.0 assists across 35.1 minutes per game in the G League.

EDGE Analysis

Brazdeikis (ankle) will be available for Sunday's game against the Jazz, Dan Savage of the Magic's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brazdeikis popped up on the injury report with a sprained left ankle that left him questionable for Sunday's contest. The third-year forward out of Michigan has averaged less than 10 minutes per contest and isn't expected to see much run despite being active.

Brazdeikis is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Jazz due to a sprained left ankle.
EDGE Analysis
The forward's role has been minimal this season. If he sits out, the Magic's rotation wouldn't change significantly.
