Orlando Magic’s official PR Twitter account confirmed that power forward Chuma Okeke would be out Sunday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Okeke is dealing with a sore right hip.
Okeke was starting to hit his stride since moving into the starting lineup, averaging 12.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 3.3 assists in 10 starts. From a fantasy perspective, Okeke has been a valuable contributor, averaging 31.0 FanDuel Fantasy Points over his last eight games. The Magic did not provide an update on when Okeke’s expected to return.
Okeke’s absence leaves Orlando thin at power forward as backup Otto Porter Jr.
