Orlando Magic Rumors
Orlando Magic PR: INJURY REPORT: Evan Fournier will not return tonight due to back spasms.
Roy Parry: Magic center Nikola Vucevic offered some clarity on his injured ankle. “It’s definitely not [a] high [sprain]. It’s just a small sprain, nothing serious at all. It’s more precautionary [to sit] because there’s some soreness in it. I just want to get rid of it and be pain free.”
Josh Robbins: Nikola Vucevic has a mild left ankle sprain, and Steve Clifford said Vucevic will not play tonight in the Magic’s exhibition game against the Celtics.
John Denton: Former @Chicago Bulls & @Minnesota Timberwolves head coach Tom Thibodeau — a friend of @Orlando Magic coach Steve Clifford for nearly 2 decades — is attending Magic shootaround today. He will be here through the weekend and Clifford said he’ll gladly take any and all advice from Thibs.
Adrian Wojnarowski: Scott Skiles has been contacted about his interest in replacing David Blatt as coach of Greece’s Olympiakos, his agent Keith Glass tells ESPN. Skiles has coached four NBA teams, most recently with Orlando in 2016. “Coaching still interests Scott,” Glass said.
Roy Parry: The Magic will play the rest of the game without Aaron Gordon. He is out with a jaw contusion, according to a team spokesman. Gordon had 5 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist in 8 minutes.
