Josh Robbins: Cole Anthony (sprained left big toe) and Trevelin Queen (left ankle sprain) will be out tonight, Magic coach Jamahl Mosley said.
Jason Beede: #Magic’s Jamahl Mosley told reporters that Anthony Black (low back contusion) is OUT tonight at Toronto. Downgraded from Questionable, he misses his 3rd straight contest. Trevelin Queen is AVAILABLE. Upgraded from Probable, he’s back after missing one game due to an illness.
Jason Beede: Update: The #Magic say Anthony Black (low back contusion) and Trevelin Queen (illness) are both OUT tonight at Detroit. Downgraded from Questionable, Black misses his second game in a row due to a back injury.
Trevelin Queen took a big sigh of relief. The 6-6 guard had just finished making his first appearance at the podium inside Kia Center on Monday night in front of bright lights, TV cameras and a plethora of local media asking him questions about tying his career high with 17 points that helped lift Orlando past Boston. If he felt nervous sitting alone with a microphone inches from his face while trying to make sense of how the Magic accomplished their second consecutive double-digit comeback at home without key players available, Queen certainly didn’t show it. “I actually haven’t had a moment to really put into perspective what happened tonight,” he said. “For me individually, it was just always having the mental [focus]. “I believed in myself that I belonged when the opportunity came.”

The last time Orlando overcame a deficit of 15 or more in consecutive games was 2014. Hours earlier, Queen learned he would be making his first NBA start against the defending champion Celtics (22-7), who he rooted for growing up. “I couldn’t stop smiling; I’m not going to lie to you,” he said about taking the floor with Jalen Suggs, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Tristan da Silva and Goga Bitadze. “That’s my childhood team. For me to be out there and playing against them was a surreal moment for me.”
Cody Taylor: Magic president Jeff Weltman said today the team strategically has left two two-way contract spots open to examine potential players in training camp. They like what they have with two-way guard Trevelin Queen and want to find more players like him for those two spots.
Jason Beede: As expected, the #Magic officially bring back Trevelin Queen on a two-way deal. Orlando now has 2 two-way spots still open.
Chris Haynes: Orlando Magic RFA guard Trevelin Queen has agreed to return on a two-way contract, league sources tell @NBAonTNT, @BleacherReport. Queen is represented by Daniel Hazan of Hazan Sports.
