Beede’s Breakdown: Shorthanded Magic fall at Nuggets despite Banchero’s triple-double

Two seasons ago, the Magic traveled to Denver with only nine players available because of various injuries to key players.

At the time, it took a 32-point triple-double from Paolo Banchero and help from reserves off the bench in order for Orlando to pull off the unthinkable: Capture a 2-point win over MVP Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets.

Jamahl Mosley‘s squad found itself in a familiar spot Thursday night when it stepped on the court without Jalen Suggs (left hip bruise), Franz Wagner (left high ankle sprain), Tristan da Silva (right shoulder bruise), Jonathan Isaac (left hip bruise) and Moe Wagner (left knee injury recovery).
