ORLANDO – The moment that Mario Hezonja and many Orlando Magic fans have been waiting for – albeit not in the manner that they wanted – could finally come tonight.
Hezonja, the No. 5 pick in the 2015 NBA Draft, could get extended playing time in meaningful minutes tonight when the Magic (17-27) host the Milwaukee Bucks (20-21). His promotion comes because of injuries to fellow shooting guards Evan Fournier and Jodie Meeks.
Orlando found out on Thursday that Meeks will likely miss four-to-six weeks after spraining two ligaments in his right thumb in Wednesday’s loss in New Orleans.
