Noah Penda posts 12 points, four ‘stocks’ vs. MIA

Noah Penda

ORL Guard-Forward #93

Player Stats

Noah Penda amassed 12 points (2-of-6 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), seven rebounds, two assists, two steals, two blocks and one three-pointer in Saturday’s win over the Heat.

While not as prolific offensively as he was in Thursday’s summer league opener, Penda once again recorded a complete stat line for the Magic. The lone negative in his performance against the Heat was the turnovers, as Penda committed six. However, the ability to contribute in multiple ways should serve the 2025 second-round pick well as he looks to earn consistent rotation minutes next season.

Noah Penda

ORL Guard-Forward #93

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Noah Penda (hamstring) is expected to miss “significant time” after exiting Friday’s exhibition against the Heat.

Penda, who injured his right hamstring early in training camp, sustained a different injury in the same muscle during Friday’s preseason finale. According to the Orlando Sentinel, the second-year forward has been diagnosed with a partial tear. How much time Penda misses will depend on how the hamstring responds to treatment, so he should be considered out indefinitely. Managers in dynasty leagues should stash him in an IL spot if possible, but Penda should not be rostered in redraft leagues.

ORL Guard-Forward #93

Noah Penda (hamstring) will not return to Friday’s exhibition against the Heat.

Penda missed time earlier in training camp due to a hamstring injury, so Friday’s issue is concerning. Orlando doesn’t open its regular season until October 21, but hamstring injuries can be tricky. Penda missing time wouldn’t affect redraft leagues, as he’s projected to be on the back end of the Magic rotation.
Noah Penda

ORL Guard-Forward #93

Noah Penda (hamstring) is considered day-to-day.

Penda tweaked his hamstring just before training camp opened, but there is no concern that it will become a long-term issue. Like Anthony Black, who’s dealing with an ankle injury, the Magic are exercising caution with Penda’s workload. He had his moments as a rookie, but Penda has a limited ceiling in standard fantasy leagues because of Orlando’s depth at forward.
Noah Penda

ORL Guard-Forward #93

Noah Penda led the Magic with 23 points (9-of-15 FGs), seven rebounds, two assists, two steals, three blocks and five three-pointers in an 86-74 loss to the Hornets on Thursday.

Penda entered last season as a strong defensive prospect with some playmaking abilities, but the main concern was his scoring ability. He didn’t have a scoring strength. That held true as a rookie, so seeing him knock down five three-pointers and shoot 4-of-5 inside the arc is incredibly encouraging. Penda is worth keeping an eye on this summer since he could be a rotation piece for Orlando this season and has star upside in fantasy hoops.
Jett Howard

ORL Guard #13

Jett Howard (illness) is out for Saturday’s game against the Heat.

While Howard has not been productive enough to merit rostering in most fantasy leagues, his absence leaves the Magic down another rotation wing. The Magic may have to ask even more of Tristan da Silva, who has performed well as a starter in recent games. Noah Penda may also pick up a few more minutes, but he is not a must-stream player.
Jonathan Isaac

ORL Forward #1

Jonathan Isaac (knee) is out for Saturday’s game against the Heat.

Isaac sprained his left knee during Thursday’s win over the Wizards. A return timeline still has not been provided by the Magic, but he’ll at the very least sit on Saturday. Goga Bitadze and Noah Penda are in line for additional opportunities within the Magic rotation.
Jonathan Isaac

ORL Forward #1

Jonathan Isaac (knee) will not return to Thursday’s game against the Wizards.

Isaac played one minute before exiting Thursday’s game with what has been diagnosed as a sprained left knee. His availability does not affect fantasy basketball, but it does free up minutes for Noah Penda and Goga Bitadze. According to the Magic, how much time Isaac misses will depend on his knee’s response to treatment.
Jonathan Isaac

ORL Forward #1

Jonathan Isaac (knee) is questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Cavaliers.

Isaac has missed Orlando’s last three games due to soreness in his left knee. While Noah Penda has picked up rotation minutes off the bench recently, he has not done enough to merit rostering in redraft leagues.
Jonathan Isaac

ORL Forward #1

Jonathan Isaac (knee) is out for Sunday’s game against the Bucks.

Isaac will miss a third consecutive game with a sore left knee. Noah Penda has played more minutes recently, and that should continue on Sunday. However, he should only be rostered in dynasty leagues. Goga Bitadze’s playing time has been a bit more volatile due to Moritz Wagner’s play.
Jonathan Isaac

ORL Forward #1

Jonathan Isaac (knee) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Bucks.

Isaac has missed Orlando’s last two games with a sore left knee, resulting in rookie Noah Penda picking up additional minutes off the bench. Neither player is in a position to affect redraft leagues, but Penda will be a player of interest for dynasty league reasons.
