The Orlando Magic defeated Miami on Friday to finish the preseason with a victory, but the contest was overshadowed by a series of injury setbacks.
Forward Franz Wagner departed with right shoulder soreness. He exited with approximately eight minutes remaining in the third quarter after clutching his right arm following a three-point attempt. Wagner was later ruled out late in the third quarter.
Guard Jase Richardson also left the game with a sore low back. Richardson began grabbing his back during an offensive possession and walked off the court slowly under his own power.
Forward Noah Penda sustained right hamstring tightness after stealing the ball late in the first quarter. Penda came up lame on the fast break and limped to the locker room, according to a team spokesperson. Penda had previously experienced a right hamstring strain during training camp.
The Magic concluded their preseason schedule 4-0.
