In a strategic move for Game 5 against the Pistons, the Magic have tapped Jamal Cain to start in the absence of Franz Wagner, who is sidelined with a calf injury. Cain, who made a significant impact in Game 4, will join a starting lineup featuring Jalen Suggs, Desmond Bane, Paolo Banchero, and Wendell Carter Jr. Meanwhile, Anthony Black and Tristan da Silva will shift to bench roles, offering depth and flexibility for Orlando as they navigate Wagner’s uncertain recovery timeline.

Jamal Cain is doubtful to return to Monday’s game against the Pistons after sustaining a left calf contusion. In just 11 minutes of play, Cain recorded three points, two rebounds, and one assist. Should he be sidelined for an extended period, expect Franz Wagner, Anthony Black, and Tristan da Silva to potentially absorb his minutes.
