Anthony Black, the Magic guard and former five-star recruit, faced the Dallas Mavericks in a significant homecoming game. With All-Star Paolo Banchero out, Black's role is set to expand as he aims to fill the scoring gap. Black's rookie season was challenging, but he has shown improvement this year, averaging 8.2 points and 4.5 assists per game.

His recent performance, including a crucial three-pointer against the Pacers, has earned him trust from head coach Jamahl Mosley. Black, known for his defensive skills, is now stepping up offensively, showcasing his growth as he navigates his second NBA season.
