The Toronto Raptors and the Orlando Magic are heading into tonight’s game on opposite sides of the injury bug. The Raptors’ injury report is just an RJ Barrett illness away from becoming a clean slate (which should happen soon), while the Magic’s injury report is starting to pile up.
Despite incurring more games lost due to injuries to their key players than the Raptors for the month of December, Magic coach Jamahl Mosley has done a terrific job keeping their team’s head above water. They finished with an impressive record of 6-7 last month and were competitive even in losses.
