Orlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero's stirring comeback performance surprised his coach, the Milwaukee Bucks, and Banchero himself. Magic on SI tracked all of the key moments from a big night at the Kia Center.

The Magic's franchise player thrived in his return from an oblique injury, though it wasn't enough for the win.

Having Banchero back in the mix gives the Magic offense a whole new set of weapons. And if he’s able to return to the form he evidenced in the early stages of the 2024-25 campaign, then he should be able to keep the Magic as one of the best teams in the East as the regular season rapidly approaches its mid-point.
