Orlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero's stirring comeback performance surprised his coach, the Milwaukee Bucks, and Banchero himself. Magic on SI tracked all of the key moments from a big night at the Kia Center.

Having Banchero back in the mix gives the Magic offense a whole new set of weapons. And if he’s able to return to the form he evidenced in the early stages of the 2024-25 campaign, then he should be able to keep the Magic as one of the best teams in the East as the regular season rapidly approaches its mid-point.

The Magic's franchise player thrived in his return from an oblique injury, though it wasn't enough for the win.
