When asked after practice Wednesday whether or not it would be a challenge to re-integrate All-Star forward Paolo Banchero into the Magic starting lineup, veteran guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope flipped the perspective of the question.

Paolo Banchero looks set to finally make his return to the court this week and he could start as soon as tonight.

The Magic have kept hope alive with Paolo Banchero expected to make a much-anticipated return on Thursday against the Timberwolves. Orlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero is listed as questionable for the team’s game Thursday, a potential sign of his return to the lineup for the first time since Oct. 30.
