Haliburton sprained his ankle last night and may not play. We'll find out soon.

Any of our "injured" guys ready to play this game??? I'd settle for a MoWag backup C sighting..

Tonight we get an up close view of what NBA caliber guards look like.

I will root for Suggs because he plays for my team and he is playing better and he plays with such heart. But to me he is still a guard whose lack of offensive skills have been exposed in the NBA and has a reckless style of play that will lead to injury.

To me his best role for him was always to play a Bruce Brown/Marcus Smart role on a competitive team right now. I feel like he could really thrive in that role where he csn really focus on what he does best. But on our young team he is trying to develop his entire game and I've just never felt he was the wisest piece to invest that much in. For the record, because because Fultz can't stay on the court, I don't know if the Magic have a true starting point guard set for the future.

Didn’t realize that we had a back to back. Let’s go Magic. This will be a little tougher without Wendell and I get why Harris isn’t playing. My only hope is not to give an opposing player 30+.

Let’s go!

Oh cool another game the front office doesn't give a **** about. We won 1 game against a team we hold draft rights too so now back on with the tank.

The fans that buy tickets to watch these games should at least be treated to the the rehab facilities for the Orlando Magic because the injured players sure the **** aren't using them otherwise they'd be back in uniform doing there job playing basketball not watching others playing basketball

Let's Go Magic!

I swear the Magic have to be actively tanking. Some how our plays take twice as long to heal from any injury.

Turner might have 40 tonight. Gary will be missed. Not expecting much.

Harris coming back and playing immediately in a back to back was probably never going to happen.

WCJ's injury is also legit. They said he was grimacing during the bench so maybe it was bothering him even if he looked good. I'm sure he *can* play though.

How long would Maxey be out if he played for the Magic? His foot is fractured and is expected to miss 3-4 weeks

Patience is so hard for people.

He'd be out for the year, and I'm not being facetious.

Franz driving gives me Hedo flashbacks.

Dude, you've been one of the harshest Suggs critics on this board. Sort of the pot calling the kettle black.

Suggs' defense is elite

I leave the door open and hedge with him . I can be critical and hope for the consistency to arrive at the same time. I haven't completely disowned him like Cole.

In all honesty, I'm starting to see more consistent flashes which is why I'm not as negative when he has poor performances but I'll own being super hard on him when he play's stupid and out of control.

What a strange game that’s all over the place.

Only thing that feels like it’s not going to work is switching on Haliburton every time. At least make him uncomfortable a bit.
