The Orlando Magic announced Thursday they have waived veteran center Khem Birch.
In doing so, Orlando creates a roster spot and have a sudden need for some front court depth with just Wendell Carter and Mohamed Bamba at center and only Chuma Okeke and the now-injured Otto Porter as natural power forwards available.
Birch will not be an easy man to replace, however. During his 3.5 years with the team, he provided tremendous amounts of energy, hustle and heart.
