Banchero has missed the Magic's last 33 games, and he will reportedly miss a 34th on when they host the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday. On the official injury report, he is still listed as "questionable" for that game, as of Thursday afternoon.

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

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.
