The Magic officially have no players in COVID protocols. Lopez has cleared, but needs conditioning.

Frazier and Gillespie's 10-day hardship contracts expire tomorrow and will not be renewed.

I'm interested to see how Franz goes when being defended by Avdija in this game. RAPTOR has Deni as the 9th best defender in the league and you would think Washington would deploy him on Franz at least a little. He might also spend time on Cole, I suppose, and even Ross.

Anyway, let's go Magic, and well done on the start BIG CHUMA!

Let's Go Magic!

Washington commentators are calling him Oke-kay

Bamba couldn't be more worthless as a basketball player

Franz with a bit of a rough start at rim so far. 0-3

I just don't think he's right, that ankle looks like it's bothering him. I said it last game too.

Maybe Lopez and Fultz will replace them. I heard that Fultz had cleared and was just conditioning.

Ok Chuma. I see you.

CHUMA!!!

Excellent footwork by Okeke there. He is looking good tonight.

what is that wizardry from stuff, pure magic.

Good quarter, not only is Oke-kay making shots but he's playing even better defence than normal. He defended the rim well on at least 2 occassions.

We also did well to hide Cole on defence. We've actually done this well for a long while now.

Also, Avija to Ross and Ross couldn't care less.

More of this please.

Oh ****, they've called Hampton "Hamilton" twice now.

So franz just isn't gonna touch the ball?? Nice...

Teams are starting to read that euro step of franz and he has been struggle to finish around the rim lately cause of it.

Public Service Announcement: Bamba on the line

Cole has a lot of Westbrook in him and I don't mean that as a compliment. WTF is up with him fighting teammates for rebounds?
