Wendell Carter Jr., Markelle Fultz Remain Out Friday
5 months agoOrlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (finger) and guard Markelle Fultz (knee) will not play on Friday versus the Detroit Pistons. It was last reported that Carter advanced to shooting without his cast last Tuesday, but he'll stay on the shelf for a 17th consecutive time due to a fractured third metacarpal in his left hand that he sustained on Nov. 2. Carter may be on the brink of a return, which could arrive as soon as Monday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Moritz Wagner and Goga Bitadze should continue to share minutes down low, but they've effectively canceled each other out for fantasy purposes. There's no update on Fultz's health, who continues to show no signs of practice activity due to concerning tendinitis in his surgically repaired left knee. With Jalen Suggs (ankle) iffy with a right ankle sprain, Cole Anthony could be in for a very busy night against Detroit after netting at least 15 points in eight of his last nine showings.
