Evan Fournier (elbow) may miss extended time for Magic
Orlando Magic guard/forward Evan Fournier (right elbow UCL sprain) may be facing an extended absence, per head coach Steve Clifford.
What It Means:
Fournier has already been ruled out for Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, but it sounds like he's facing a multi-game absence. Wes Iwundu is replacing Fournier in the starting lineup on Friday. He's only averaged 7.5 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.9 steals, 0.3 blocks, and 0.6 3-pointers in 15 games as a starter this season.
Per numberFire's NBA Heat Map, the Magic are tied for the third-highest implied total (117.25 points) on Friday's 10-game slate.
