Magic 100, Nets 93: Magic prevail in battle of two undermanned teams

In what was a historically undermanned basketball game, what was left of the Orlando Magic defeated what was left of the Brooklyn Nets.

With the two teams missing a combined 24 players due to injury or health and safety protocols, the Magic had just nine players available and the Nets eight.

Of those 17 players, seven were not on an NBA roster just days ago.

The roster decimation sweeping the league creates opportunity not only for those getting called up on emergency 10-day hardship contracts, but also for those still-available rotation players who have been struggling.
