ORLANDO – The Orlando Magic received an update on the condition of guard R.J. Hampton on Thursday.
An MRI conducted confirmed that Hampton suffered an MCL sprain and bone bruise of his left knee.
The injury occurred with 4:52 remaining in the fourth quarter of Wednesday’s road game against the Philadelphia 76ers when Hampton stepped on the foot of Georges Niang, slipped, and fell to the ground.
Hampton’s return to play will depend on how he responds to rehabilitation and treatment.
Playing primarily with the second unit, the 6-foot-6 guard has averaged 7.
