Desmond Bane Achieves Season-High Five Steals in Magic's Victory, Continues Scoring Surge

Desmond Bane delivered a season-high five steals, tying a career best, and led the Orlando Magic with 23 points (7-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 7-7 FT), six rebounds, and five assists in 39 minutes during Tuesday's 121-113 win over the Warriors. This marks only his second multi-steal game of the 2025-26 season, but he has been on a scoring tear, hitting at least 22 points in five of his last seven outings. Over that span, the 27-year-old guard has averaged 20.4 points, 5.6 assists, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.0 steals. Bane, who signed a five-year, $197.23 million extension with the Grizzlies in July 2023, was traded to the Magic in June 2025, bringing a strong collegiate background from TCU where he earned First-team All-Big 12 honors.
