Prior to the game, Orlando activated center Andrew DeClercq from the injured list after being sidelined all season because of surgery on his right knee. He went scoreless in nine minutes of action.

To make roster room for DeClercq, center Mario Kasun was sent to the injured list with left knee tendinitis. The rookie averaged 2.6 points and 2.9 rebounds in 25 games.

Orlando’s week will continue on Thursday night, as it hosts former teammate Tracy McGrady and the Houston Rockets. The Magic will finish up their week on Saturday against the Philadelphia 76ers at home.
