The Orlando Magic will be playing the first-place Detroit Pistons, but they will be doing so without one of their top contributors on the floor.
The team announced that starting guard Anthony Black will miss the game due to a quad contusion.

Anthony Black Out vs. Pistons
-----------------------------
This is not good news for the Magic, who are also without Franz Wagner, who remains out with a high ankle sprain.
Magic head coach Jamahl Mosley neglected to share who would be starting in Black's place, but there are a couple of options in Jevon Carter, Jase Richardson and Jalen Suggs.
Tip off between the Pistons and Magic scheduled for 6 p.m. ET inside the Kia Center. Fans can watch the game on FanDuel Sports Network or stream it on NBA League Pass.
