Evan Fournier (back) available for Magic Wednesday
Orlando Magic guard/forward Evan Fournier (back spasms) will be available to play Wednesday versus the Minnesota Timberwolves.
What It Means:
This comes as somewhat of a surprise after Magic head coach Steve Clifford said Tuesday that he expected Fournier to remain sidelined for a 10th straight game. Fournier still may have a minutes limit in his first game back following the long layoff. His return should take away some playmaking responsibilities from Cole Anthony and Nikola Vucevic. The Magic will likely move Dwayne Bacon or James Ennis to the second unit to make room for Fournier.
Fournier is averaging 0.8 FanDuel points per minute this season and has a salary of $5,300 on Wednesday's 10-game slate. The Timberwolves rank 26th in defensive efficiency.
