Friday afternoon the NBA D-League named Orlando guard Keith Appling to its Eastern Conference All-Star squad. Appling, who inked a second 10-day contract with the Magic earlier in the day, plays for their D-League affiliate, the Erie BayHawks.
In 17 appearaces for Erie, Appling has averaged 16.8 points, 4.1 rebounds, 5.6 assists, and 2.1 steals on 49.5 percent shooting from the floor.
Appling attended training camp with the Magic and has made two appearances for them in the 2015/16 season.
