The Orlando Magic’s Paolo Banchero will undergo an MRI on his groin Thursday, he told The Athletic after Wednesday’s 124-107 win over the New York Knicks. For now, Orlando is calling his injury a groin strain. The All-Star forward sustained the injury while pursuing a rebound during the second quarter. Banchero leapt for a board, landed and tried to accelerate, then felt a pull in his groin area. “I just slowed up, and I felt it right away,” Banchero told The Athletic. “And then, I did a couple more trips up and down, and then, it was still there. So I asked to come out because I didn’t wanna risk further injury.”
