After 10 games, the Magic has only four players that have contributed to all 10 games: Vučević (starter in all 10), Bacon (starter in all 10), Birch, and Anthony. That's it; four players.

Aminu has not played since November 2019
Jonathan Isaac is out for the season and is unlikely to be ready for opening night 2021/22
Markelle Fultz is out for the season and will not be ready for opening night 2021/22
Mo Bamba has contributed in only one game and is now out with a back issue
James Ennis missed seven game due to a calf and then a foot issue
Evan Fournier has missed the last 4 games to a back issue
Michael Carter-Williams has missed 3 games due to a hip issue
Terrence Ross missed a game to hamstring
Aaron Gordon missed a game to a tight hamstring
Chuma Okeke has missed 5 games due to a bone bruise

p.s. Orlando is still paying Timofey Mozgov


..

Evan is out again still w back spasms.
Back spasms usually don't last this long, it's been over a week?

T-Mac’s lasted for two years

JI and Kelle should both be ready for opening night 2021-22. It’s a 6-8 month injury. Isaac will be 15 months removed from surgery. Markelle will be 10 months removed.

JI for sure would be.. Fultz on the other hand... maybe mid-way next season. It's a year recovery thing and you gotta "shake off the rust"

ACL repairs and recoveries are in a 11-18 month timeline.

Mo Bamba is out of Friday's game (he did not travel to Boston). This is a Covid-related sit. But he himself is not reinfected.

They do, but he retired so it's no longer counted against cap

I think it was a medical retirement, which is why it doesn't count toward the cap.

Mozgov was at first stretch and then Magic got a medical retirement waiver. But he is still getting paid!
He just is not part of the cap. Interesting is that Mozgov is now the first stretch player to then be removed from the cap.

Any timeline or updates on return of Bamba and Okeke? I guess Evan's back spasms are day to day but those two need some minutes in this wasted season.

We are too good to tank

Wins will come as soon as Chuma+Evan+Mcw+Aminu and Mo r back on the floor

We might not have a superstar but we have a lot of good players

Go Magic

I cant wait to see how good Chuma becomes

Right now I see a lot of missed shots from this roster. That will equal losses.

0-6 without Fultz

Carter-Williams is apparently practicing again, but he will not play in the next game.

When asked if those players might play tomorrow, Clifford said: “I don’t see that. Because today was no contact, Evan participated, MCW participated and Farouq participated. But I think that's more because it was non-contact than they’re ready to play, from what I understand.”

I thought Chuma just bumped knees with somebody...That can hurt like hell but shouldn't last too long. Any word? or correct me...
