Well, that effing sucks.

At least he'll be back this season. Or well, with Magic medical staff you never know.

Ideally he's back by Christmas?

Damn. Obviously Mo and Goga will need to step up but I wonder if we see JI and Paolo eat up any Center minutes?

Get Detroit on the phone

For what? Please don't say what I think your about to say. Isn't the goal to win games?

Wiseman?

Who in MIN do we get?

Also, i never expected wCJs DNPs would starr so soo

BTW how did he injure it? A jazz player hacked his hand?

He fell on his hand getting a rebound at the end of the game.

Lmao, as expected 3 rotation players go down with injury in the first few weeks of the season for the Magic in a comical fashion

Good thing that unlike seasons past, we are built to withstand injuries ( just not to Paolo and Franz )

Time Lord (and Brogdon or Simons)

Does this usually require surgery?

I wonder if we’ll see any Paolo in the Jokic role? Kerr saw something. I know it didn’t really work in FIBA, but it’s intriguing…interesting mixes with Isaac at PF, next to him defensively. Certainly unconventional- but Paolo’s skill/size combo is definitely unconventional. Maybe revolutionary?

How many assists could Paolo get running the offense through him in that way?

Fultz, Harris, Okeke, ORL 24 frp(top 5), DEN 25 frp, 2 srps to POR
for…Brogdon, R. Williams

Williams isn’t a full-time C. He and Isaac platoon as elite defensive-minded PFs next to Paolo. Brogdon is the steadying, floor-spreading guard we need- who can play with any other guard on the roster (I’d prefer Simons- but likely costlier-even injured). Jett Howard on deck for kick out 3’s…perhaps rising fast in the rotation in this configuration.

Brogdon/Black
Suggs/Cole/Jett
Franz/Ingles
Williams/Isaac
Paolo/ Moe/Goga-limited, for matchups

Damn, Wendell has been kinda trash this season but we are so thin at center position. I dont know if we can manage.

I've said before season started that we really can't afford Wendell's injury, and ofc, 5 games into a season, Wendell get hurt... ffs

Unleash the goga

JI learned his lesson and Wendell better too. The whole team needs to know.
Stay away from Advent Health commercials. It’s a curse, a self fulfilling prophecy.

M-Wagner has been very effective off of the bench. I agree it makes sense for the Magic to start the 3rd stringer over the backup.

Orlando's first real test. It was going to happen. The Utah game (without Fultz) showed the Magic can rotate the roster and still gut out wins.

It's Bitadze time!

Bitadze needs to prove the haters wrong:
