The Lead
Wendell Carter Jr. has now played against his former team, the Chicago Bulls, five times since getting traded to the Orlando Magic last season. In all of them, he has racked up at least 19 points, including on Tuesday when he scored 24. It wasn’t enough, however, as the Magic, despite tying the game midway through the fourth quarter after trailing by 13 just minutes earlier, were unable to ward off the Bulls in a 126-115 loss at the United Center.
