It will certainly be interesting to see what interaction, if any, there is between Bane and Anunoby during that contest. The winner of that game will move on to play the Western Conference champion in the bracket, with $500,000 for each player on the line in the finale.</p><p>The Knicks and Magic will get their NBA Cup game underway on Saturday at 5:30 pm ET from Las Vegas.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Late in the fourth quarter of New York’s 106-100 victory, emotions spiked when Anunoby drove to the rim and was blocked by rookie Anthony Black. As the rebound bounced into Desmond Bane’s hands, the Magic guard aggressively fired the ball at Anunoby’s midsection, drawing an immediate whistle and a technical foul.</p><p>The Garden erupted, Knicks players stepped toward Bane, and officials paused the game to prevent further escalation.

The Magic had Paolo Banchero in the lineup for this game but <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/orlando-magic/magic-news-franz-wagner-leaves-knicks-game-leg-injury-after-taking-awkward-fall">lost Franz Wagner</a> due to an injury at one point in the first half.</p><p>In the second half, <a href="https://x.com/IanBegley/status/1997747177880506440" rel="noopener">one controversial moment occurred</a> when Knicks forward OG Anunoby had his layup attempt blocked and retrieved by Magic guard Desmond Bane, who inexplicably launched the ball off of Anunoby, who was on the ground out of bounds, instead of igniting a fast break for his team.</p><p>Bane was assessed a technical foul for the incident, per Ian Begley of SNY on X, formerly Twitter.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">He ain’t even have to save the ball he just wanted to hit OG <a href="https://t.co/YC2aeEq9qb">pic.twitter.com/YC2aeEq9qb</a> <a href="https://t.co/RYCj5SX38B">https://t.co/RYCj5SX38B</a></p><p>— Teg🚨 (@IQfor3) <a href="https://twitter.com/IQfor3/status/1997746410566164895?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 7, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>This isn’t the first time that Bane has displayed some legit anger issues this season, as in a previous game against the Atlanta Hawks, he launched the ball off of center Onyeka Okongwu, and was subsequently tossed from the contest.</p><p>While he was able to stay in this one en route to the loss, the Magic will want to work with Bane on keeping his emotions under control, especially if the team were to appear in a playoff setting later down the line.</p><p>Meanwhile, the Magic will hope for good news on the Wagner front, as he suffered an injury on an awkward fall earlier in the game. The Magic only recently got Banchero back from an injury of his own, and the team is hoping that the 2025-26 season won’t be another one heavily impacted by ailments suffered by their stars.</p><p>In any case, the Magic will next take the floor on Tuesday evening for a home game against the Miami Heat. That game will be a part of the knockout round for the ongoing NBA Cup, with the winner advancing to Las Vegas.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
