Banchero Drops 25 Points, 8 Boards in Fourth Game Back from Injury

Paolo Banchero contributed 25 points (10-22 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, and one steal in 35 minutes during Saturday's 132-120 loss to the Knicks. Despite an abysmal 0-for-7 from deep, he was Orlando's second-leading scorer. This was Banchero's fourth game back after a 10-game absence due to a groin strain, and he appears to be past his minutes restriction, logging 67 minutes over his last two outings with 43 points and 15 rebounds.
