With the working week winding to an end, let’s check the pulse of all things pinstriped.

Who won the week that was?

He may unfortunately have been the latest pinstriped injury victim, but in the games leading up to his absence Wendell Carter Jr. was looking more and more like the dependable difference maker that the Magic are hoping will anchor the big man rotation for seasons to come. He opened the week by dropping 20, 10 and 5 against the Suns in a best-on-court performance, production he followed up by posting a similarly impressive 20, 5 and 4 with a pair of blocks against the Hornets.
