TORONTO – ScotiaBank Arena, the site of the Orlando Magic’s most thrilling victory in years during last spring’s playoffs, is also becoming something of a house of horrors for the franchise when it ventures north of the U.S. border these days.
The Magic and their modest three-game winning streak hit some seriously tough luck on Wednesday when they not only lost again to the Toronto Raptors, but they also lost all-star center Nikola Vucevic and standout forward Aaron Gordon to what could be significant ankle injuries.
As if it wasn’t frustrating enough to squander a strong start and lose 113-97 to the defending champion Raptors, the Magic have plenty of concern about the health of their two starters after both went down injured and didn’t return.
