The Orlando Magic are getting a massive boost to their starting lineup, as All-Star forward Paolo Banchero is expected to return later this week after missing 33 games with a right oblique tear, per ESPN.

Orlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero has been out since the end of October due to a torn right oblique. After being a full participant in Wednesday's practice, a league source tells Magic on SI he's expected to be upgraded to questionable ahead of the Magic's home-back-to-back this Thursday and Friday.

Orlando Magic star Paolo Banchero is set to return from a two-month injury absence this week, but it sounds like that won't happen against the Timberwolves on Thursday.
