Flirts with double-double
Bitadze logged 10 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 20 minutes during Tuesday's 144-103 win over Philadelphia.
Analysis
Bitadze returned to action after missing Sunday's loss to Boston due to a sore left ankle, falling one rebound short of what would have been his first double-double of the season Tuesday. Firmly established as the backup behind Wendell Carter, Bitadze has provided Orlando with a serviceable rim protector off the bench. Through 18 games, he has averaged 6.4 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 16.9 minutes per contest.

Available Tuesday
Bitadze (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.
Analysis
Bitadze was a late addition to the injury report due to left ankle soreness, though he'll shed his questionable tag and suit up after missing Sunday's loss to Boston. Over his last five appearances, the backup center has averaged 6.4 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks in 16.2 minutes per contest.

Downgraded to questionable
Bitadze (ankle) is now questionable for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.
Analysis
Bitadze is a late addition due to a sore left ankle, which doesn't bode well for his chances of playing. If the big man is sidelined, Orlando Robinson would likely handle the backup center role behind Wendell Carter.

Off injury report for Tuesday
Bitadze (ankle) is not listed on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.
Analysis
Bitadze was a late scratch for Sunday's game against the Celtics due to left ankle soreness, but he's all set to get back in action Tuesday. The 2019 first-rounder has averaged 6.2 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.2 blocks in 16.8 minutes per tilt across 17 games this season.

Late scratch Sunday
Bitadze won't play in Sunday's game against the Celtics due to left ankle soreness.
Analysis
Bitadze was slated to start Sunday due to Wendell Carter (ankle) being sidelined, though the former will now join Carter on the sidelines. With both big men out, Orlando Robinson will make his first start of the season.
November 23, 2025
Starting sans Carter
Bitadze will start Sunday's game against Boston.
Analysis
With Wendell Carter (ankle) sidelined in the second leg of Orlando's back-to-back set, Bitadze will get the starting nod for the first time this season. Over his last five appearances, the big man has averaged 6.4 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks in 16.2 minutes per contest. However, he's likely to see a significant uptick in minutes as a member of the starting five.
