Brian Windhorst: The Orlando Magic possibly could be willing to part with a guy like Evan Fournier. Maybe a guy like Aaron Gordon, that is being chatted around about executives.

“When you compare his play from last year or two years ago, that’s just the key,” said Vucevic’s best friend on the Magic, swingman Evan Fournier. “He’s always been dominant down low when he catches the ball in the paint. His hook shots and his fadeaways and stuff, he’s always been very good at that. But this year, it’s just the quick 3 on top of the key. It’s a game-changer.”
Roy Parry: Injury update ahead of pregame access: Magic F James Ennis (groin strain) is questionable while SG Evan Fournier (back spasms) is probable tonight vs. the Warriors. Draymond Green (ankle) is questionable; James Wiseman (wrist) and Kevon Looney (ankle) are out for GS.
Would Nikola Vucevic — should the Orlando Magic even make him available, let alone for what Toronto can realistically offer — fit the bill? (The Magic are so far projecting patience and optimism about bringing back their healthy core next season, league sources say. The exception — and this is purely my speculation — might concern Evan Fournier, given his expiring contract.)
Vucevic boasts a higher scoring average than all of them, but he also has separated himself from his fellow bigs through his 3-point shooting. He has made a career-high 41.4 percent of his attempts from beyond the arc. “When you compare his play from last year or two years ago, that’s just the key,” said Vucevic’s best friend on the Magic, swingman Evan Fournier. “He’s always been dominant down low when he catches the ball in the paint.
