Ross diagnosed with sprained MCL and fractured tibia, out indefinitely

[Mr Magic Fan]

The tibial plateau fracture can vary depending on severity. It's non displaced so that's good news. I'd anticipate a return after the all star break.

Sucks he's out. Baby Daddy better get well soon and be stronger than ever! I hope he fixes whatever other issues he has at the same time.

I hope Terrence Ross has a quick recovery.

This is a bad break for The Magic and others like Arron Afflalo, Mario Hezonja and even Wesley Iwundu are going to have to step up.

This suuuuuucks. Ross has been an under the radar top glue guy for us this season. We need more of him, not less.

I know Afflalo is in pretty poor form, but he's not Jeff Green bad in my eyes. Also, seeing his veteran leadership with AG last night demonstrated the kind of value he could bring that won't show up in the box score. Plus, when he wants to turn it on defensively he can do pretty well. Had a couple great defensive plays where he kept guys locked on the perimeter last night.

Afflalo did play well in the OKC game. He is a pro and is a key piece in this injury situation.

I wish T. Ross well and hope he recovers soon. I've been dogging him for most of the season when he was struggling offensively but he did always play hard on defense. His shot was finally coming around and he gets hurt. It sucks but this opens up an opportunity for someone else. Hopefully AA can start to get into a rhythm and Vogel actually uses Wes during this time frame. I am not excited about him bring Mack back into the rotation as I am not a fan of a two PG lineup that involves D.J. and Shelvin. You would think Mario could get a longer look on the wing with Ross out but it is clear as day that we are done with him.

I still feel that starting SF spot should be Isaac's as soon as he is healthy.

This sucks. All the best to him.

His best game this year is 8 points game in 20 min. Dude is dead body. Against OKC he had 1 rebound, 0 points, 0 points, 1 turnover in 16 min. It doesn't get lower than that.

did he have any points though

I am kidding but really, afflalo's game fallen of a cliff so deep I think he managed to outrank hezonja for the worst RPM on the team, a feat seemed impossible for so long.

[Blue_and_Whte]

Damn. That sucks for him.

Iwundu has been recalled from the G league. Rotoworld.com thinks iwundu can get minutes now with Ross out. If Iwundu still can't get playing time with Ross out, That's sad.

Afflalo had a team best, and staggering, plus/minus of +20 !

There is more to winning than a bench player "going off."

Afflalo did the not-box-score things that lead to a W. And as a LLE vet, its his job to do those not-box-score things.

Please agree that a Cummerbund is deserved by Afflalo for this win (and another for Augustin with a plus/minus of +18).

His stats are garbage. Why da hell would you count his +/- when he only plays extended min in blowouts ?
Against Celtics, despite Magic losing by 15, he had +12 ( for sake of comparison Hezonja had +18 and Mack +15). Vs OKc he had +20 by having 1 rebound in 20 min .

Personally I think Afflalo would look great in a Cummerbund.

Ross as the first-off-the-bench would be huge for Orlando. Hope he is not out to long.
