Amile Jefferson took a detour on the Orlando Magic’s recent road trip, stopping in Las Vegas while the team carried on to Portland.
The little-used forward was stealing a game at the G-League Showcase to stay fresh for the season. The Orlando Magic, having a bevy of big men ahead of him, have not been able to use Amile Jefferson often. He has played a few spot minutes here and there — a quick minute against the Milwaukee Bucks when foul trouble ate up Khem Birch.
Jefferson is an emergency option.
