He has a fractured hand. This is a devastating loss to a team that was already reeling with injuries.

They were pretty bad with him and well out of race.

Yeah, they were already firmly entrenched in the 'worst record' race - which is a bummer for our LAL pick. But, who knows? Maybe guys like Isaac, Payne, Biyombo, Speights, etc will step up (Simmons/Gordon already get plenty of time) - they seem to have some depth up front.

They were actually playing pretty well before they became ravaged with injuries. Obviously the Magic has a small margin for error and various injuries to 5 their top 6 guys (Payton, Fournier, Ross, Gordon, and now Vucevic) has been a major blow.

Ross and Vucevic are tough losses for that team, but everybody else should be healthy very soon. They have lost 8 games in a row so something has to give. But, you are right the way about they started the season, it has been quite a drop-off from what was expected after October.
