Impact After a breakout sophomore campaign, Anthony's statistics have decreased across the board in three consecutive campaigns, culminating in career lows in points (9.4), rebounds (3.0), assists (2.0), and minutes (18.4) during the 2024-25 season. He signed a two-year, $26 million extension with the Magic in October of 2023, which included a team option for 2026-27. There's an entire offseason to play out, but Anthony finds himself in a tough competition for backup backcourt minutes in Memphis with Scotty Pippen and Luke Kennard.

Impact Orlando wasn't able to generate much offense from their backcourt trio of Anthony, Anthony Black and Cory Joseph -- all three combined for 11 points as Orlando was knocked out of the postseason. None of those players stepped up much in the absence of Jalen Suggs (knee), as they formed a timeshare at the point guard slot to limit the upside of each other. Anthony finished the regular season with 67 appearances and averages of 9.4 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.1 three-pointers on 42.4 percent shooting from the field.

Impact Anthony failed to make an impact Sunday against the defending NBA champions, as he saw the floor for a team-low two minutes. Throughout the first four games of this first-round series with Boston, Anthony has racked up just eight points, four rebounds and five assists across 31 minutes.
