Banchero has missed the Magic's last 33 games, and he will reportedly miss a 34th on when they host the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday. On the official injury report, he is still listed as "questionable" for that game, as of Thursday afternoon.

Banchero has been out since before Halloween with a torn oblique but is expected to return Thursday (Timberwolves) or Friday (Bucks).

The Orlando Magic (22-16) are set to open a three-game homestand on Thursday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves (19-17). ESPN’s Shams Charania reported on Wednesday that Paolo Banchero could make his return during the upcoming back-to-back games.

It's Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks vs Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs tonight at Fiserv Forum. Follow here for live game updates.

On Wednesday, the Milwaukee Bucks (18-16) host the San Antonio Spurs (18-18) at Fiserv Forum, and if you’re wondering how to catch the action live, you’ve come to the right place. The Bucks defeated the Toronto Raptors 128-104 Monday on the road for their largest margin of victory to improve to 10-1 this season when scoring over 120 points.

Wembanyama may lead the NBA in blocks for the remainder of his playing days, but if he keeps developing his perimeter game on such high volume, he’ll almost certainly earn a scoring title at some juncture.
