Injury Report (as of 5pm ET):
Magic:
Colin Castleton - GAME-TIME DECISION (thumb)
Franz Wagner - OUT (ankle)


Kings:
Dylan Cardwell - OUT (ankle)
De'Andre Hunter - OUT (eye)
Zach LaVine - OUT FOR SEASON (finger)
Domantas Sabonis - OUT FOR SEASON (back)




Referee Assignments:
Curtis Blair (#74 - Crew Chief), Che Flores (#91 - Referee), CJ Washington (#12 - Umpire). Thirty years combined experience.



Mister Slim Says: Twenty-six more games of this.

Good news: Keegan Murray is back, bad news: Cardwell is out. Sabonis and LaVine have been ruled out for the season, which should free up plenty of minutes for the youth, but Westbrook and Monk's returns make the rotations uncertain. Orlando comes into town trying to make the playoffs, so they will be motivated to win against at team that has no such motivation.

(Keep) Playing the kids.

 

[Caccia]

The Magic are barely over .500 this season, and only 416 on the road. Quite a surprise.

Caccia's formula for ending the streak: Start Monk. Win the game.

Well, since I might not have Smokey without the phonograph…

While I'm normally all over the historical precedents of Thomas Edison, famous battles, etc., Cherry Coke rules.

Damn it, Slim, you left out the United States Women's Hockey team winning GOLD in Milano Cortina (2026)!!!
