Adreian Payne still does not really know how his two-way contract works. Neither do the Orlando Magic and the Lakeland Magic. He is their grand experiment with this new tool the NBA and the collective bargaining agreement are giving to NBA teams.
That experiment may get something of a delay, unfortunately for the young player the Magic are working with on that deal.
The team announced Wednesday forward Adreian Payne fractured the fourth metacarpal in his left hand during practice. He will be out indefinitely but will not require surgery. His timetable for a return is dependent on how he responds to treatment and how the injury naturally heals.
