Some start the year with good resolutions, others already have their backs full of 2021. This is unfortunately the case of our national Evan Fournier, who left his partners because of back pain. We hope that its release is mainly preventive.
Maybe we are worried about nothing, that tomorrow we will be told that it is not much but it is January 1 and we have the right to be a little chauvinistic from time to time. Obviously, when you see Evan Fournier come off the field and wince because of back pain, that doesn’t necessarily inspire optimism. For the Magic either, moreover, which has just lost its two wing specialists in quick succession. According to Josh Robbins, which follows the Magic for The AthleticOrlando could quickly feel very depopulated at positions 2-3.
Terrence Ross availability is considered “day-to-day” due to his hamstring injury, Steve Clifford said. Then, tonight, Evan Fournier suffered from back spasms in the first quarter. Suddenly, the Magic are very thin on the wing.

“Terrence Ross’ availability will be reviewed on a daily basis following his tendon injury,” said Steve Clifford. And this evening, Evan Fournier suffered from spasms in the back from the first quarter. Suddenly, the Magic feels light on the wings. “
It is true that with the loss of Ross and Vavane, it is almost 38 points per night in cumulative which are stationed in the infirmary, it is the loss of your starting back and one of the best substitutes. of the league. If they are unable to hold their place anytime soon, we should see more Cole Anthony and Dwayne Bacon on the floor, and if we would have liked to add Chuma Okeke to this list, unfortunately the rookie, capable of playing 3 or 4, s’ is re-injured in the leg, the same as last year … We hope for him that it is about an injury without too much gravity because, as a reminder, he had made the cruciate ligaments a year ago and had missed his entire first year in the NBA. Coming back to Charenton’s receding hairline, back spasms are a fairly regular injury in the NBA. We saw Anthony Davis being diminished by this evil this summer in the bubble and he had however been able to hold his place with the success that we know. We are not going to do in the comparison, it all depends on the degree of pain of the player and see if it comes back regularly or not, we just hope it will not be the case.
Evan Fournier therefore injured his back and that does not do the business of the Magic. Already deprived of Terrence Ross and then of Chuma Okeke last night, Orlando is weakened by a new player in the person of Vavane. It will perhaps be necessary to call for reinforcements to fill the gap, unless a small young person leaves the services necessary to make forget the executives. At least a little.
