Following the Magic's road game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, Orlando guard Cole Anthony underwent imaging, which confirmed a right internal oblique muscle injury.

Anthony's return to play will depend on how he responds to rehabilitation and treatment.

The third-year guard is averaging 15.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 4.3 assists through four games this season.

Markelle Fultz (fractured big left toe), Gary Harris (left knee injury recovery), and Jalen Suggs (sprained right ankle) are all currently out and at various stages of their rehab.

Anthony, a 22-year-old player who was the 15th overall pick in the 2020 draft, has averaged 14.9 points in his 116 career games, all with Orlando.

The Magic started their new season winless (0-5).
