Magic point guards Markelle Fultz and Cole Anthony will both be available for Wednesday’s home game vs. the Hawks, as relayed by Khobi Price of the Orlando Sentinel.
Fultz, 24, is 6-foot-3 and suffered a fractured big toe before the season, adding to an injury-plagued early career — as he has appeared in more than 19 games in just one season thus far.
He was originally selected by the 76ers with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2017 draft, and Wednesday’s game will mark his season debut. He carries career averages of 10.9 points, 4.8 assists and 3.2 rebounds in 131 total games.
Meanwhile, Anthony, 22, is 6-2 and has appeared in four games this season, his third in the league. He has been sidelined with a right internal oblique injury since late October.
The son of former NBA point guard and current NBA TV analyst Greg Anthony, Cole Anthony averaged 16.3 points, 5.7 assists and 5.4 rebounds in 65 games last season.
The return of those two will add depth to a Magic backcourt that already includes the likes of Jalen Suggs, Gary Harris and R.J. Hampton. Suggs (ankle) has been ruled out Wednesday.
