Evan Fournier (wrist) spending Thursday on Orlando's sidelines
Orlando Magic guard/forward Evan Fournier (sore right wrist) will not play against the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday.
What It Means:
This will be Fournier's first missed game since January, but it's hard not to think this could be a tanking maneuver as the Magic vie for ping-pong balls in this summer's NBA Draft. Jodie Meeks will start while Mario Hezonja, Terrence Ross and Elfrid Payton should all see more opportunity.
Meeks is averaging 11.4 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.0 3-pointers in 27.9 minutes per game as a starter this season (nine starts).
