Al-Farouq Aminu (knee) starting for Magic Sunday; Khem Birch to bench
Orlando Magic forward Al-Farouq Aminu will start on Sunday in the team's game against the Detroit Pistons.
What It Means:
Aminu is still recovering from his knee injury, and head coach Steve Clifford said he'll have his minutes increased a bit. However, he'll still be limited. Despite that restriction, he'll start against the Pistons, meaning Khem Birch will now come off the bench.
In 3 games this season - though playing just 29 minutes - Aminu has averaged 3.7 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 7.5 FanDuel points.
