Orlando Magic rediscover their swagger on West Coast road trip
The first three weeks of the Orlando Magic's season has been filled with doubt.
Injuries ravaged the roster. Paolo Banchero went down with a high ankle sprain in the second game. Jalen Suggs suffered a knee contusion and bone bruise a game later. Jonathan Isaac and Izaiyah Nelson have yet to play. Tristan da Silva's stellar season was slowed by a calf strain that has cost him the last two games.
Jamal Cain, recently elevated into the starting lineup, missed Wednesday's game with a shoulder contusion. The hits just did not stop coming.
In the process, the Magic still had to play games. And they struggled to find their footing and establish their identity.
