Former UNC basketball point guard Cole Anthony will have a larger role with the Orlando Magic after a season-ending injury to Markelle Fultz.

Orlando Magic reserve point guard Cole Anthony is just eight games into his rookie season, but he could be getting the first start of his young career when his team takes the floor against the Houston Rockets on Friday night.

Magic starting point guard Markelle Fultz went down with an apparent leg injury mid-way through the first quarter on Wednesday night.
