Orlando Magic forward Anthony Black's future remains uncertain as contract extension talks stall. The Magic prioritize paying their four core veterans, making it difficult to extend deals for Black and other key players. Marc Stein of The Stein Line reports that the team has not engaged in meaningful extension dialogue with Black, classifying it as unlikely at this point.
Sources suggest that Black will likely enter restricted free agency in the summer of 2027, ahead of other long-term contracts held by Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner, Jalen Suggs, and Desmond Bane. ESPN's Brian Windhorst mentions that teams are monitoring Black's situation as a potential trade opportunity, given the Magic's limited draft assets after trading four first-round picks last year.
