Terrence Ross (protocols) ruled out Friday for Magic versus Heat

Orlando Magic guard/forward Terrence Ross has entered the health and safety protocols and is out for Friday against the Miami Heat.

What It Means:

The Magic placed Ross, R.J. Hampton, and Moe Wagner in protocols and they will all miss Friday's game. They currently have five available players, three listed as questionable, and nine ruled out. Mychal Mulder is in line for a start on Friday night if the game is played. Franz Wagner and Wendell Carter Jr. also figure to see upticks in usage.

Mulder has a $3,500 salary on Friday's eight-game slate and he scored 12.0 FanDuel points in a start earlier this season while registering a 19.7% usage rate.
