Paolo Banchero Sidelined 4-6 Weeks With High-Ankle Sprain

Orlando Magic star forward Paolo Banchero has been diagnosed with a low-grade right high-ankle sprain and is expected to miss four to six weeks. Banchero sustained the injury during the third quarter of Friday's 115-93 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the timeline forces Orlando to navigate a significant stretch of their early-season schedule without their star player while he undergoes rehabilitation.
