CHA • Guard • #12
Josh Okogie scored 14 points (4-of-10 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs) against the Celtics on Sunday. He also tallied two rebounds, two assists, a block, and a pair of three-pointers.
Okogie finished his year on a high note and matched Jusuf Nurkic for the team’s high in points. He provided Charlotte with some much-needed energy down the home stretch but it’s hard to see him being part of the big picture moving forward.

Josh Okogie scored 14 points (4-of-10 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs) against the Celtics on Sunday, adding two rebounds, two assists, a block, and a pair of three-pointers.
Okogie finished his year on a high note and matched Jusuf Nurkic for the team’s high in points. He provided Charlotte with some much-needed energy down the home stretch. The 26-year-old is under contract for a reasonable $7.75 million in 2025-26 and should be a reasonable end-of-rotation player next year.

Jusuf Nurkic recorded 14 points (6-of-10 FGs, 1-of-3 FTs), nine rebounds and dished out two assists while totaling three steals and a block against the Celtics.
Nurkic scored at least 14 points in four straight games to end the regular season and nearly wound up with a double-double here. The 30-year-old big put together some solid stat lines even when Mark Williams played on several occasions. Nurkic has one year remaining on his four-year, $70 million contract he signed with the Suns in 2022. His role for next year in Charlotte is up in the air and it would not be surprising if he were dealt.

Anthony Black played 28 minutes in Tuesday’s win over the Hawks, amassing 16 points (6-of-7 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, four assists, two blocks and three three-pointers.
Orlando’s starting backcourt of Cory Joseph and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope combined to score 14 points on 4-of-14 shooting from the field. Black was one of two reserves to pick up the slack, combining with Cole Anthony to score 42 points on 16-of-24 shooting. The second-year guard scored 41 points in Orlando’s final two regular-season games, likely boosting his confidence ahead of the Play-In tournament. Tuesday’s victory means Black and the Magic will be the seventh seed in the East, and they’ll face the reigning champion Celtics in the first round. Game 1 is set for Sunday in Boston.

Cole Anthony shot 10-of-17 from the field and 2-of-2 from the foul line in Tuesday’s win over the Hawks, scoring 26 points with three rebounds, five assists and four three-pointers in 20 minutes.
On a night when starting guards Cory Joseph (5/5/2 with one three-pointer) and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (nine points, two assists, one block and one three-pointer) combined to shoot 4-of-14 from the field, the Magic received vital contributions from both “Anthonys.” Cole shot well over 50 percent from the field in scoring his 26 points. His highlights included a 4-of-6 fourth quarter in which he made three three-pointers. Anthony Black also had a big night off the bench, but Cole is the more capable scorer. And he’ll need to play to this level consistently if the Magic are to have a chance of upsetting Boston in the first round. Game 1 is on Sunday.
