ORLANDO, Fla. — Chuma Okeke and R.J. Hampton moved into the Orlando Magic’s starting lineup for Wednesday’s 111-99 home loss to the Atlanta Hawks after Mo Bamba (ankle) and Gary Harris (hamstring) were ruled out with injuries.
The starts were the first of the season for both Okeke and Hampton.
Okeke, a 2019 first-round draft pick out of Auburn, played in the Magic’s previous 22 games as a reserve entering Wednesday, averaging 6.4 points and 4 rebounds in 20.7 minutes. He missed the first six games with a hip bone bruise that forced him to miss all of training camp.
