Anthony set a new career high with 81 regular-season games played in 2023-24, surpassing his previous high of 65 appearances during his sophomore season in 2021-22. Amidst the increased games played, Anthony saw reductions in his minutes, points, rebounds, assists and three-pointers made per game compared to the previous two seasons. Nonetheless, he remained a critical piece for the Magic's young core as they put together an impressive season, finishing fifth place in the East. Anthony averaged the team's sixth-most minutes per game and led the team in games played during the 2023-24 campaign. His regular season was highlighted by several impressive performances, including a season-high 30 points on 9-for-16 shooting in a home win over the Hornets in November. Anthony had 21 outings with more than 15 points. He also had two double-doubles with points and rebounds and logged more than five assists on 12 occasions. Regular season and playoffs combined, Anthony recorded 21 games with zero turnovers, averaging 9.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.0 steals in 20.9 minutes over those games. Looking ahead, he is set to remain the leader of the second unit, playing a key bench role for the emerging squad. Anthony has room for improvement with his shooting efficiency but has shown he can help close games when hot from the field.
