Sixers 107, Magic 99: Paolo Banchero returns but Magic fall to shorthanded 76ers

The Magic’s star returned against the currently starless Sixers.

But having Paolo Banchero back wasn’t enough for Orlando against a Philadelphia 76ers team playing without Joel Embiid, James Harden and Tyrese Maxey, as the shorthanded Sixers won 107-99.

Banchero returned to the court after missing seven games with a sprained ankle but struggled with his shot early, missing all three of his attempts in the first quarter.

It was Bol Bol putback’s dunk to open the game that was a sign of things to come in the first half for the Magic.

Bol had his way in the paint early on, scoring eight points and grabbing four rebounds in the quarter.
