Steve Clifford released from hospital, cleared to return to the Magic

Coach Cliff will be back on the sideline for Sunday’s game.

Steve Clifford left the Magic’s 132-118 win over the Timberwolves on Friday during the third quarter after falling ill, with Ty Corbin taking over in his absence. Clifford was examined in the locker room and sent to a local hospital for further evaluation. With few details available at the time, there was great concern for Clifford.

It came as a huge relief when the Magic announced at 1:41 a.m. that Clifford left the game due to dizziness and diagnosed with dehydration. He has been cleared to return to the Magic.
