perhaps the real indignity for Orlando, apart from possibly losing, is that Grant Williams is within striking distance of a JKidd triple-double. He has 10/4/4 at halftime. – 8:14 PM

Magic starting to make some baskets. They can still win this one if they wake up defensively. – 7:51 PM

The Magic are in a dogfight for a top-four seed with 10 days left in the regular season but are somnambulating as bad as I’ve ever seen so far tonight, and I was on press row for much of the Jacque Vaughn years – 7:28 PM

Grayson Allen (left hip soreness) sticking to being probable for Friday’s game vs. T-Wolves after missing Wednesday’s win vs. Cavaliers, but addressed fracturing hip back in 2020 while with Memphis Grizzlies.
He wound up playing in the Orlando bubble that 2019-20 season. #Suns pic.twitter.com/gm7uXSmAfA – 2:40 PM
