Anthony (illness) didn't participate in shootaround ahead of Thursday's game versus the Trail Blazers, Jake Chapman of the Magic Radio Network reports. Anthony is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's contest due to an illness.

Magic coach Jamahl Mosley provided key injury updates after Thursday morning shootaround before Orlando hosted Portland at Kia Center.

Anthony was a late addition to the injury report, along with Jonathan Isaac (illness). That's typically not a great sign in terms of availability, and the Magic are already thin in their backcourt without Jalen Suggs (back). If Anthony can't go, the Magic could need Anthony Black to step into a much larger role.

Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony has had a resurgence in his performance lately. Against the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday, Anthony led the team with 27 points on 64.

Simons and Ayton lead the way, with Simons dropping 24 on 6-12 three-point shooting, adding four boards, and three assists. Ayton posted a double-double putting up 22 points, and pulling down 15 rebounds. Avdija also added a double-double, scoring 16 with 10 rebounds.
