Bitadze posted no counting stats over two minutes during Tuesday's 120-89 loss to the Celtics in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs. Bitadze saw just a total of 11 minutes in this series, as the Magic relied mostly on Wendell Carter at center. He saw some decent playing time in the regular season, however, posting averages of 7.2 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.4 blocks and 0.7 steals in 20.4 minutes while shooting 61.1 percent from the field. Bitadze is under contract for two more years and is likely to open the 2025-26 season as Carter's backup.

Magic Injury Report
Latest Magic News
Goga Bitadze : Sees just two minutes
Bitadze posted no counting stats over two minutes during Tuesday's 120-89 loss to the Celtics in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs. Bitadze saw just a total of 11 minutes in this series, as the Magic relied mostly on Wendell Carter at center. He saw some decent playing time in the regular season, however, posting averages of 7.2 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.4 blocks and 0.7 steals in 20.4 minutes while shooting 61.1 percent from the field. Bitadze is under contract for two more years and is likely to open the 2025-26 season as Carter's backup.
Jett Howard : Scores six points in Game 5
Howard finished with six points (2-2 FG, 2-2 3Pt) over four minutes during Tuesday's 120-89 loss to the Celtics in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs. Howard saw his only minutes of the series Tuesday in garbage time. He was used sparingly in the regular season as well, averaging 11.7 minutes across 60 appearances with 4.5 points and 1.2 rebounds on 37.4 percent shooting. He'll be entering his third NBA season in 2025-26, though it's hard to imagine he'll be in the rotation on Opening Night.
Tristan da Silva : Sees four minutes
Da Silva ended Tuesday's 120-89 loss to Boston in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist across four minutes. Da Silva played a total of five minutes in the postseason, but did see some decent run in the regular season, mainly when Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner had their injuries. The rookie made a total of 74 appearances, averaging 7.2 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.1 three-pointers on 41.2 percent shooting from the field and 33.5 percent from beyond the arc.
Caleb Houstan : Scoreless in seven minutes
Houstan chipped in zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt) over seven minutes during Tuesday's 120-89 loss to the Celtics in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs. Houstan saw a very minimal role in the postseason and didn't make much noise at all, shooting 14.3 percent from the field. As for the regular season, Houstan made 58 appearances and struggled to break through in the rotation, averaging 4.1 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.1 three-pointers on 42.1 percent shooting in 13.6 minutes.
Jonathan Isaac : Sees 14 minutes in loss
Isaac supplied five points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound and one assist over 14 minutes during Tuesday's 120-89 loss to the Celtics in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs. After seeing 15.4 minutes per game in the regular season, Isaac saw a reduced role in the playoffs with 13.8 minutes per night. The good news is that Isaac managed to stay mostly healthy this campaign, appearing in 71 regular-season contests with 5.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 0.6 assists, 1.1 blocks, 0.9 steals and 0.5 three-pointers. His per-minute production was excellent from a fantasy perspective, though he did shoot just 25.8 percent from beyond the arc. With a full offseason ahead, Isaac could make another positive step in 2025-26.
Gary Harris : Quiet in 15 minutes
Harris produced three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in 15 minutes during Tuesday's 120-89 loss to Boston in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs. Harris had a tough postseason, appearing in five games with 1.4 points on 37.5 percent shooting. His regular season didn't go much better, however. He appeared in just 48 games, hitting 38.3 percent of his shots with 3.0 points, 1.3 rebounds and 0.8 three-pointers in 14.8 minutes. The Magic hold a $7.5 million team option on the veteran for 2025-26.
Cole Anthony : Limited impact in 19 minutes
Anthony chipped in three points (1-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block across 19 minutes during Tuesday's 120-89 loss to the Celtics in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs. Orlando wasn't able to generate much offense from their backcourt trio of Anthony, Anthony Black and Cory Joseph -- all three combined for 11 points as Orlando was knocked out of the postseason. None of those players stepped up much in the absence of Jalen Suggs (knee), as they formed a timeshare at the point guard slot to limit the upside of each other. Anthony finished the regular season with 67 appearances and averages of 9.4 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.1 three-pointers on 42.4 percent shooting from the field.
Anthony Black : Nearly double-doubles
Black notched eight points (3-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds and one steal in 21 minutes during Tuesday's 120-89 loss to the Celtics in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs. Although he didn't shoot the ball well, Black was far more effective than a scoreless Cory Joseph. Black saw his role increase significantly in his second NBA season, but he had some struggles and couldn't take advantage of all the injuries in Orlando. He shot just 42.3 percent from the field and 31.8 percent from beyond the arc, averaging 9.4 points, 2.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.8 three-pointers in 24.2 minutes.
