Wendell Carter Jr. (eye) will remain out for Magic Friday
Orlando Magic power forward Wendell Carter Jr. (eye) will remain sidelined for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets.

Mo Bamba made the start in place of Carter on Wednesday and put up 19 points with 15 boards, an assist, 3 steals, 4 blocks, and a triple over 31 minutes. He has totaled 41 points and 30 boards over the last two games. Look for Bamba to continue to shine on Friday night with Carter out again.
