With the Orlando Magic down multiple guards, coach Jamahl Mosley opted to start big for Friday’s 113-93 home victory over the Charlotte Hornets.
Bol Bol (7-foot-2) stepped into the starting lineup alongside Terrence Ross (6-foot-6), Pablo Banchero (6-foot-10), Wendell Carter Jr. (6-foot-10) and Franz Wagner (6-foot-10) to give the Magic a starting lineup of five players at least 6-foot-6, including four who are listed as at least 6-foot-10.
With Cole Anthony (right internal oblique muscle injury), Markelle Fultz (fractured left big toe), Gary Harris (left knee injury recovery) and Jalen Suggs (sprained right ankle) sidelined, Banchero, Carter and Wagner carried a heavier playmaking burden.
