Wendell Carter Jr. Needs Surgery

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (hand) will undergo surgery. The 25-year-old fractured his left hand in November, limiting him to 55 games last season. But now he'll need another procedure on the same hand to "stabilize the third metacarpal." Carter, who will be re-evaluated in roughly four weeks following the procedure, is expected to make a full recovery. The 2018 No. 7 overall pick had one of the best seasons of his career in 2022-23, averaging 15.2 points and 8.7 assists. However, he took a step backward in both categories last season. Assuming he stays healthy, Carter has a chance to bounce back this season, although many fantasy managers will look past him due to his health and statistical regression.

Wendell Carter Jr. Productive At Both Ends Of The Floor

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. made a mark under both baskets in Sunday's Game 7 against Cleveland. He provided 13 points with 5-for-10 shooting and snagged three steals as the Magic's season ended with a 106-94 loss. The big man from Duke, who shot 2-for-4 from outside, also recorded seven rebounds and one assist in 35 minutes. After struggling initially, Carter Jr. had a strong finish to the series. In a sense, it summed up his entire campaign, as the Magic center was fairly inconsistent in 2023-24. Carter Jr. averaged 11.0 points and 6.9 rebounds in seventh year in the NBA. He was a double-double machine only a couple of seasons ago, so the 25-year-old should have plenty of potential to do better in 2024-25.

Wendell Carter Jr. Grabs 15 Rebounds In Orlando Loss

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. grabbed 13 points (5-13 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 15 rebounds, two assists, one block, and one steal across 28 minutes during Sunday's 111-97 loss to the Indiana Pacers. Carter Jr. was dealing with some knee soreness earlier in the week. However, he has recovered and had a strong showing despite the loss. The 24-year-old is averaging 11.5 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 1.6 assists in 37 games this season.

Wendell Carter Jr. Available Against The Knicks

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (knee) will play on Friday against the New York Knicks. He was dealing with knee soreness, keeping him off the floor on Wednesday versus the Washington Wizards. However, he's good to go and can be slotted back into all fantasy lineups despite the challenging matchup on the horizon. Carter's return should mean considerably less work for Goga Bitadze, who filled in at the five on Wednesday. As a result, Bitadze can be dropped from nearly all fantasy rosters.

Wendell Carter Jr. Listed As Questionable For Friday

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (knee) has been listed as questionable on the injury report ahead of Friday's encounter with the Knicks. The 24-year-old big man saw a run of 23 straight appearances come to an end on Wednesday when he missed the second leg of a back-to-back against Washington with right knee soreness. Goga Bitadze picked up the start in Carter Jr.'s absence, posting six points and eight rebounds with one block across 25 minutes of action. Moritz Wagner saw a bit of extra action off the bench and contributed 16 points and six rebounds as Orlando pulled off a 21-point comeback to hand the Wizards a franchise record-tying 16th straight loss.

Wendell Carter Jr. Ruled Out For Wednesday's Game

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (knee) won't play on Wednesday versus Washington. He was a late addition to the injury report with right knee soreness and has now been ruled out. Goga Bitadze is starting in his place. The Georgian giant has previously averaged 7.6 points and 7.3 rebounds in 23.8 minutes as a member of the first unit this season. He's in a great position to make noise on Wednesday, as only San Antonio has given up more points to opposing centers than Washington, and the Wizards allow by far the most rebounds per 48 minutes to the position.

Wendell Carter Jr. Will Be Sidelined On Tuesday

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (knee) is set to miss his third consecutive game with right knee tendinitis. The 24-year-old has unfortunately been plagued with injury after injury and hasn't been able to reach his true potential. This is going to be his 24th missed game so far this season which already takes him out of the regular season award conversation. He's only been able to play 60 or more games once in his six seasons in the NBA so far. Fantasy managers will want to shift their attention to Moritz Wagner and Goga Bitadze in the meantime. Bitadze has a bit more upside, but they're both solid streaming options until Carter returns.

Wendell Carter Jr. Unavailable On Sunday

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The big man will miss his second game in a row due to a lingering knee issue. His absence should mean increased playing time for Goga Bitadze and Moritz Wagner. Between the two, Bitadze is the better streaming option, assuming he gets moved into the starting lineup. The expectation is that Carter will be back soon and this is a minor issue.

Wendell Carter Jr. Sidelined Versus The Nuggets

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (knee) won't suit up for Friday's meeting with the Nuggets in Denver. Goga Bitadze (illness), Franz Wagner (ankle), and Markelle Fultz (knee) are also sidelined, so the Magic will need to go deep into their rotation to fill the void. That said, Paolo Banchero, Cole Anthony, and Jalen Suggs should be the primary scoring options. However, Chuma Okeke and Moritz Wagner, who will start, are both worth streaming.

Wendell Carter Jr. Starting In Return From Broken Finger

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (finger) will start Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat. Carter makes his long-awaited return from a fractured third metacarpal in his left hand from Nov. 2's game against the Utah Jazz. The former No. 7 overall pick was really struggling to return fantasy value before suffering the setback, averaging just 9.4 points on 37.8% field-goal shooting and 57.1% free-throw shooting, but he did add 8.6 rebounds per game. Expect the Magic to have some form of minutes cap in mind for Carter after such a long layoff despite his appearance in their starting lineup, so he's not a must-play in his first night back on the court. Wednesday's contest also carries the lowest implied point total (218.5) of the 10-game slate. Goga Bitadze slides back into Orlando's second unit, while Moritz Wagner should lose playing time with Carter back in the fold on Wednesday.
