I’ll be discussing two NBA teams that got amazing news earlier tonight on major player injuries in this edition of NBA rumours and notes. Also, how the Golden State Warriors are impacted by Draymond Green’s suspension.
NBA Rumours: Magic and Heat Have Good News About Important Injured Players, Draymond Green’s Indefinite Suspension
Wendell Carter Jr. and Markelle Fultz Take Part in Practice
Head coach Jamahl Moseley told reporters today that starting point guard and centre Markelle Fultz as well as Wendell Carter Jr. participated in part of Wednesday’s practice for the Orlando Magic.
When Fultz or Carter will return, though, is unknown. Last year, Fultz enjoyed a career-best season, although he missed the previous fifteen games due to tendinitis in his left knee. Carter hasn’t played since November 4 due to a fractured hand.
Carter stated to The Orlando Sentinel’s Jason Beede that his left hand is currently only “85–90%” strong.
With two victories in a row and a 16-7 record overall, Orlando is now tied with the Milwaukee Bucks for the second-best record in the Eastern Conference. The Magic don’t play again until December 15, when they visit the Celtics in Boston.
Miami May Be able to reunite with its partner in the coming weeks.
Ira Winderman of the Miami Sun Sentinel reports that the Miami Heat may be getting back a few important players in the next weeks, though there is no official timeline. Guard Tyler Herro (ankle sprain) and centre Bam Adebayo (hip contusion) should be back before Miami’s December 28 departure for the West Coast, according to Winderman.
