“I feel really good,” #Magic forward Paolo Banchero said at this morning’s shootaround. “Yeah, I’m just happy to be back participating in practice and just back with the team.”

He’s questionable tonight vs. Minnesota (return to competition reconditioning).

Damn this hit me right in the feels man. Sorry for your loss Schefty.

Part 1:

This was a day we knew was coming since last February, and yet there still is an overwhelming sense of sadness.

We had planned to put down our beloved Benny, who was our baby for over 15 years. He had liver cancer that had spread, he could barely stand anymore, and he stopped eating. We scheduled a vet to come to our house at 11 am today, and spent all of Monday and Tuesday crying over, and with, Benny.

And then, when we woke this morning for the day we dreaded, Benny was gone. He died in his sleep. We are in shock.

Our life revolves around our family, our dogs and, for better or worse, my work. But unlike our family or my work, dogs never give us any aggravation -- only love and loyalty. Benny was one of our five labradoodles; but he truly was one of one. He wasn’t a good boy; he was the best boy -- and we told that to him regularly.

Benny never bit anyone, never attacked one of our other dogs when they attacked him, he was such a gentle boy. One time when he was a puppy, he did jump out of out of the window of a moving car to chase after a pitbull before my wife had to pull over and chase him down. But aside from that, Benny gave us zero problems -- except for his health.

Roughly seven or so years ago, when he first was diagnosed with cancer, doctors removed one of his kidneys. Then last February, as he was running up our backyard steps into our house, he missed a step, hit his leg and could barely walk. Doctors discovered that, not only did Benny tear his ACL, but he also had liver cancer and other masses that had spread to his lungs. On Feb. 23, 2024, his doctor told us Bennyhad two to three months to live. My wife and I were devastated.

I remember the next week calling my dear friend Chris Mortensen because he was one of the only close friends I had who understood what it was like to love and lose animals. I cried to Mort, and listened to him talk about how much our pets mean to us. He did his best to pick me up, and he did briefly -- until I got a call a few days later that we lost Mort, too. My last conversation with Mort was all about Benny; now both are gone.

From the moment we were told that Benny had two to three months to live, I counted each time we passed the 23rd day of a month as another win for Benny. He stacked up wins when they weren’t expected, in July and August and September, until he got to another winter he wasn’t supposed to. There’s a video we posted on our dogs’ Instagram account from Sept. 29, when Benny jumped up and took away our daugther’s pizza, refusing to give it up. His energy and fight for someone fighting such an insidious disease was so impressive. But his decline from that day on, when cancer ravaged his body, was fierce.

Cont’d….

@TonyKhan @KennyOmegamanX @AEW @SportsonMax

[Murph. @supmurph]

This tweet would’ve been 100% correct if not for the injury man

[Murph. @supmurph]

Lock me into the “Paolo Banchero will be in the mvp convo this season” agenda.

[Murph. @supmurph]

OH WE FUCKING BACK BABY

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

Magic star Paolo Banchero is expected to return to action in one of Orlando’s back-to-back home games Thursday versus Minnesota or Friday versus Milwaukee, sources tell ESPN. Banchero has been out since Oct. 30 due to a torn oblique after a monster start to the season.

[Murph. @supmurph]

Oh yeah. He’s back

[Fawzan Amer @FAmer__]

Orlando Magic Head Coach Jamahl Mosley told reporters Paolo Banchero “was actually able to go through a full practice” today. Banchero has missed nearly nine weeks and 33 games. Impressively, Orlando has remained afloat despite his absence

His return now looms even closer

[Murph. @supmurph]

Anthony Edwards disappearing act in the 4th quarter

[Ian Rapoport @RapSheet]

The #Jaguars have requested permission to speak with #Lions OC Ben Johnson, source said. Add them to #Patriots and #Bears. He has a window from Thursday to Saturday, all virtual.

[Murph. @supmurph]

@shawnathan88 I’d go Embiid too lol. I can’t stand watching him play basketball.

[Murph. @supmurph]

Who’s more obnoxious to watch hoop? Brunson, Luka, or Embiid?

[Murph. @supmurph]

Get Brunson bum ass outta here 😂

[Murph. @supmurph]

I’m so happy for Cole Anthony man. No one deserves this more than him.
