Hard blow for the Magic, who just beat the Lakers to post a record of 4 wins for 2 losses. Indeed, we learned during the night that Wendell Carter Jr. was going to be operated on for a fracture of his left finger, which occurred against Jazz on Thursday evening, with an absence of three weeks, minimum.
Orlando’s starting pivot (9.4 points, 8.6 rebounds), “WCJ” will not return before the end of the month and, in his absence, it is Goga Bitadze who has regained his place at position 5. With success, since the Florida franchise dominated the Lakers in the night, with 10 points, 10 rebounds and 5 blocks from the Georgian.
Note that the Magic already has to deal with the physical problems of Markelle Fultz (knee) and Gary Harris (groin).
