Life after Nikola Vucevic, Evan Fournier and Aaron Gordon begins.
The next chapter in Orlando Magic history opens on Friday night, and the first page probably is not going to be a pretty one.
Following their trade deadline fire sale on Thursday, the Magic won’t yet have their newly-acquired players available. And they’ll also be without Terrence Ross as he continues to recover from a knee injury.
That will leave the Magic with the bare minimum of eight players available:
Dwayne Bacon
Mo Bamba
Khem Birch
Michael Carter-Williams
James Ennis
Karim Mane
Chuma Okeke
Chasson Randle
Those are the names who will usher in the new era of Magic basketball as we await the arrival of their new teammates.
