Black logged 27 points (8-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 10 assists, three rebounds, four blocks and one steal over 36 minutes during the Magic's 135-127 win over the Pacers on Sunday.
ANALYSISBlack recorded his second double-double of the season Sunday (and the third of his career), with his 10 assists marking a career high. He is the fifth player aged 21 or younger in Magic
franchise history to record at least 25 points and 10 assists in a game, and the third-year guard may continue to see an increased workload in the short term if
Jalen Suggs (knee) and
Franz Wagner (ankle) remain sidelined. In 12 games since entering the starting lineup Dec. 9, Black has averaged 21.2 points, 5.2 assists, 4.4 rebounds, 2.3 threes, 1.3 steals and 0.9 blocks over 34.1 minutes per game.
