Sun Jun 15 | 13:34 | Cole Anthony Dealt to the Grizzlies |
According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Memphis Grizzlies are acquiring guard Cole Anthony from the Orlando Magic in exchange for guard Desmond Bane. The Grizzlies will also receive guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, four unprotected first-round picks, and a first-round pick swap. The 2020 No. 15 overall pick has spent his entire career in Orlando. His best season was in 2021-22, when he averaged 16.3 points per contest. However, Anthony amassed only 9.4 points in 67 games during the 2024-25 campaign, a substantial dip. Anthony could struggle to find a consistent role in Memphis, especially with Ja Morant, Scotty Pippen Jr., and Caldwell-Pope on the roster. Still, he may get an opportunity to get involved, considering Morant has had issues staying on the court over the years. |

Tue Apr 1 | 09:32 | Cole Anthony Listed As Questionable For Tuesday |
Orlando Magic point guard Cole Anthony (toe) has been listed as questionable for Tuesday's action against the San Antonio Spurs. He missed a seventh consecutive contest on Monday night against the Los Angeles Clippers. However, there appears to be light at the end of the tunnel for Anthony after he was upgraded to questionable ahead of the week. Anthony's return will bump Cory Joseph back to the bench. The veteran guard has not been very productive with additional opportunities over the last couple of weeks but played well on Monday, notching 10 points, five rebounds, three assists, and two steals. Anthony Black's fantasy value will also decline with Anthony's return. |

Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony (toe) remains out for Monday's meeting with the Clippers, marking his seventh-consecutive absence because of a sprained toe. Cory Joseph has been filling in at the one. However, Joseph hasn't done much with his afforded opportunity, with the veteran averaging 7.4 points, 3.2 assists, and 3.2 rebounds in 10 starts this season. On the other hand, Anthony Black has benefited from Anthony's absence, amassing double-digit scoring in five of his last seven appearances. |

Orlando Magic point guard Cole Anthony (toe) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings. It looks like he will be out for a sixth consecutive game due to a left big toe sprain.

Over the last five games, Black has posted 14.2 points per game with 4.6 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 1.4 blocks. |

Thu Mar 27 | 18:50 | Cole Anthony Remains Out Against Dallas |
Orlando Magic point guard Cole Anthony (toe) will miss a fifth consecutive game on Thursday against the Dallas Mavericks, having been downgraded from doubtful to out. The 24-year-old playmaker is struggling to recover from a sprained left big toe. Anthony Black and Cory Joseph will maintain their additional fantasy value against Dallas. This matchup is favorable for Orlando's point guards, as Dallas allows the ninth-most fantasy points to that position. Recently, Black has been the superior fantasy option, averaging 16.7 points and 5.3 rebounds over the past three games. |

Wed Mar 26 | 21:22 | Cole Anthony Considered Doubtful For Thursday |
Orlando Magic point guard Cole Anthony (toe) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's matchup against the Dallas Mavericks. It appears likely that Anthony will miss a fifth consecutive game due to a toe strain. As a result, Cory Joseph should retain his position in the starting unit; however, fantasy managers should not overlook Anthony Black, who has been making a significant impact off the bench. Since Anthony was knocked out of the lineup, Black has averaged 14.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 3.8 assists. |

Tue Mar 25 | 17:52 | Cole Anthony Sidelined On Tuesday |
Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony(toe) won't play on Monday versus the Charlotte Hornets. He's battling a sprained toe, so he'll miss his fourth straight game on Tuesday night. Cory Joseph, who finished with five points, five assists and four rebounds across 17 minutes against the Lakers on Monday, will presumably remain in the starting lineup instead of Anthony. However, Joseph's minutes may be reduced as Anthony Black posted 17 points, six assists, five rebounds, one block and one steal in his last outing. |

Mon Mar 24 | 17:49 | Cole Anthony Remains Out On Monday |
Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony (toe) won't play on Monday versus the Lakers. He's battling a sprained toe, so he'll miss his third-straight game on Monday night. Cory Joseph, who had 11 points in the win over the Wizards on Friday, will presumably remain in the starting lineup. Anthony Black, who had 13 points, six assists, and one block in that one, should also see more work than usual. But Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero will likely handle most of the opportunities on the offensive end. |

Sun Mar 23 | 20:52 | Cole Anthony On The Injury Report Again For Monday |
Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony (toe) is questionable for Monday's matchup with the Lakers. The toe sprain is nothing new, although it most recently kept Anthony off the floor during Orlando's last two games. Cory Joseph got the start once again in Friday's win over the Washington Wizards, finishing the night with 11 points. Anthony Black also stayed more involved than usual, with the 21-year-old amassing 13 points, six assists, and one block. However, he had five turnovers. With that said, it should remain Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero handling most of the work on the offensive end, with both combining for 51 points versus Washington. The duo also collectively averaged a 35.5 usage percentage. |

Fri Mar 21 | 18:18 | Cole Anthony Sidelined For Friday's Matchup With Wizards |
According to Josh Robbins of The Athletic, Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony(toe) won't suit up against the Washington Wizards on Friday. He has been battling a sprained toe that will keep him off the floor for a second straight game. Cory Joseph will likely start again in Anthony's place this evening. Joseph collected 12 points, six rebounds, and three assists in 30 minutes during Thursday's 113-93 victory over New Orleans. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, with Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner still out, Joseph isn't a reliable option going into tonight's contest. |

Thu Mar 20 | 19:25 | Cole Anthony Questionable For Friday Night |
Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony (toe) is questionable for Friday's matchup with the Wizards. He has been battling a sprained toe, most recently keeping him off the floor for Wednesday's loss to the Houston Rockets. Cory Joseph got the start in that one, finishing with 13 points. If Anthony remains sidelined on Friday night, Joseph will likely continue to handle things at the one spot. But as long as Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner are on the floor, Joseph isn't the safest option for fantasy managers. |

Wed Mar 19 | 17:55 | Cole Anthony Sidelined For Wednesday's Matchup With Houston |
Mason Williams of SI.comreports that Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony(toe) won't play Wednesday against the Houston Rockets. Anthony has been absent in two of the last three Magic games due to a left toe strain. In his last outing on Sunday against Cleveland, the 24-year-old returned to action after missing two straight games. However, he aggravated the injured toe after only six minutes on the floor. Cory Joseph will likely be a starter, while Anthony Black will continue to see an expanded role with Anthony out for this evening's contest. |

Sun Mar 16 | 18:34 | Cole Anthony Doesn't Return On Sunday |
Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony (toe) returned from a two-game absence for Sunday's win over the Cavaliers. He came off the bench in this one. Unfortunately, he logged only six minutes before reaggravating his nagging left great toe strain. Anthony has been filling much of the void caused by the absence of Jalen Suggs (knee). However, it appears he's in line to miss time, so fantasy managers should plan accordingly. As such, Cory Joseph, amassing three points, four assists, and three steals against Cleveland, should remain in the starting lineup, with Anthony Black, who had 17 points, on tap to stay more involved from off the bench. |

Sun Mar 16 | 12:27 | Cole Anthony Back On Sunday |
Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony (toe) will play on Sunday versus the Cavs after missing the last two games because of a left great toe strain. Jalen Suggs (knee) has been on the shelf, so Anthony has handled things at the point guard position. The 24-year-old has played well for the most part, averaging 13.7 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 1.0 steals in 22 starts during the 2024-25 campaign. With Anthony back in the equation, Cory Joseph will head back to the bench, eradicating nearly all of his fantasy potential. |

Sat Mar 15 | 18:30 | Cole Anthony Back On The Injury Report |
Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony (toe) is questionable for Sunday's meeting with the Cavaliers. He's missed the last two games because of a sprained toe. As a result, Cory Joseph has filled in at the one spot, although he had just eight points in Friday's loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. If Anthony remains out, Joseph will likely stay with the first five. However, it will likely be Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner handling most of the work on the offensive end. |

Fri Mar 14 | 19:00 | Cole Anthony Unavailable Friday |
Orlando Magic point guard Cole Anthony (toe) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He was a late scratch on Thursday against the New Orleans Pelicans due to a toe injury and will miss a second straight game after being initially listed as questionable. Cory Joseph and Anthony Black will share the minutes at point guard. Joseph has logged a pair of starts lately and finished Thursday's game with 12 points, six rebounds, and three assists. Black has also had his moments this season, but he currently doesn't look very appealing from a fantasy perspective. |

Wed Mar 5 | 19:44 | Cole Anthony Questionable Versus The Bulls |
Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony (toe) is questionable for Thursday's game against Chicago. The 24-year-old had been handling things at the one spot in place of Jalen Suggs (knee), who is out indefinitely. However, he wasn't available when the Magic lost to the Raptors on Tuesday night. Cory Joseph got the start, finishing with eight points, five assists, and one steal. It's possible Joseph gets another crack at the starting lineup if Anthony can't return on Thursday. But fantasy managers could see a bounce back showing from Anthony Black, who had just five points versus Toronto. |

Thu Feb 27 | 18:44 | Cole Anthony Slated To Suit Up On Thursday |
According to Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel, Orlando Magic point guard Cole Anthony(knee) is available for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Anthony left Tuesday's contest versus the Cleveland Cavaliers early due to a hyperextended left knee. However, he won't need to miss any further time. With Jalen Suggs(quadriceps) unavailable, Anthony has been Orlando's starting point guard for the last nine games. His production has been inconsistent during that period, averaging 10.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.1 assists, and 1.1 steals during 23.7 minutes. With Anthony back in action, Anthony Black's minutes on the floor will be reduced. |

Tue Feb 25 | 21:31 | Cole Anthony Won't Return On Tuesday Night |
Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony (knee) won't return to Tuesday's meeting with the Cavs. Anthony got the start once again in place of the injured Jalen Suggs (quadriceps). He logged 21 minutes, although he would finish with only six points, five rebounds, and four assists before exiting with a hyperextended left knee. The Magic may not have Suggs or Anthony on Thursday against Golden State. As a result, Anthony Black, averaging 8.1 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.0 steals in nine starts, should find a place in more fantasy lineups than usual. |
