ORLANDO, Fla. – The Orlando Magic’s second-to-last homestand wraps up Monday night when the visiting Los Angeles Clippers make their lone trip to Central Florida this regular season. Tipoff is at 7 p.m. ET from the Kia Center in downtown Orlando.
The Magic come in fresh off clinching a postseason spot on Saturday night, cruising to a 30-point, wire-to-wire victory over the Sacramento Kings to improve to 36-39 this season. As of Sunday evening, they are currently the No. 7 seed in the Eastern Conference.
The Clippers are on the second night of a back-to-back, coming from Cleveland on the heels of a 127-122 road loss on Sunday afternoon. At 42-32, LA is locked into a battle with Minnesota and Golden State to try and avoid the Play-In Tournament.
Before Monday’s tipoff, here is the latest on player health, status and injuries for each team.
Anthony told reporters in the Magic’s locker room Saturday evening that he was in “a pretty good spot” with his recovery from the left big toe strain that’s held him out of nine total games during March.
After a string of games being listed as doubtful, Anthony is now upgraded to questionable for Monday’s matchup.
Kawhi Leonard sat out Sunday’s contest at Cleveland due to right knee injury management. He is available to play for LA on the second night of a back-to-back versus Orlando.
