ORLANDO, Fla. — After getting their preferred starting lineup back in Sunday’s win over the Chicago Bulls, the Orlando Magic got as close to having their regular rotation as they’ve had in a couple of months for Wednesday’s 111-102 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers.
With Gary Harris (back spasms) and Terrence Ross (right knee soreness) back in the lineup after missing Sunday with injuries, the Magic had their top-eight players in minutes per game available against the Clippers. Until Wednesday, that hadn’t been the case since Nov. 17.
Markelle Fultz and Jonathan Isaac, who have been starters for the Magic when healthy, have been sidelined for the season recovering from torn left anterior cruciate ligaments. Michael Carter-Williams (recovery from August left ankle surgery) and E’Twaun Moore (left knee sprain) haven’t played this season.
