Kidd-Gilchrist has suffered a dislocated right shoulder Saturday in the first half of a 106-100 preseason victory over the Magic. He was fouled on the play by Magic forward Tobias Harris and landed hard on the ground before being transported to Florida Hospital South for X-rays, which were negative.
