Magic coach Steve Clifford said he’ll shift Markelle Fultz back into the starting point guard spot for the playoffs. D.J. Augustin started in seven of the Magic’s eight seeding games, while Fultz worked to catch up with his conditioning after a late arrival to the NBA campus. Fultz started the Magic’s final seeding game.
While he’ll need Aaron Gordon and Michael Carter-Williams to be healthy to do that, Clifford can start moving in that direction by swapping Fultz and Augustin. “That’s when we were playing at a high level on offense,” Clifford said of his pre-pandemic player rotations. “This was all planned out beforehand. I liked our groups and we were playing at a high level and we’re trying to get back to that.”

In CloseUp360’s “Hoopers Meet Heroes” series, which connects NBA and WNBA players with healthcare professionals on the frontline of the fight against the coronavirus in their respective cities, Magic guard D.J. Augustin chatted with Dr. Sarah Barbour, an infectious disease physician in Orlando. After treating gunshot victims from the Pulse nightclub shooting in 2016—the deadliest terrorist attack in the U.S. since 9/11—she’s now helping COVID-19 patients.
