3 years agoOrlando Magic point guard Cole Anthony (ankle) and power forward/center Wendell Carter Jr. (leg) have both been given the green light to take the floor for Thursday's contest against New Orleans. Anthony returns after a three-game absence, while Carter was held out the past two games after having been helped off the floor last week. The return of the team's leading scorer (Anthony, 19.9 per game) and rebounder (Carter, 9.9 per game) gives Orlando a significant boost to its rotation. Anthony and Carter can both be expected to play sizable roles from the get-go, bumping Franz Wagner, Gary Harris, and Chuma Okeke from their previously gargantuan usage.--Jesse Borek
