Banchero has missed the Magic's last 33 games, and he will reportedly miss a 34th on when they host the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday. On the official injury report, he is still listed as "questionable" for that game, as of Thursday afternoon.

It might take a while for chemistry to regenerate with Orlando’s All-Star forward, but the team is 19-14 without him entering Thursday.

Paolo Banchero looks set to finally make his return to the court this week and he could start as soon as tonight.
