While it looks like Vucevic is trending toward another absence, he hasn't been ruled out yet, and it's possible his status could change depending on how he feels after shootaround Friday morning. If he's ultimately held out, he'll likely make his return Sunday against New Orleans.

Fultz is trending towards missing a second straight game as he continues to battle the stomach flu. Assuming he's unable to play, D.J. Augustin would likely pick up another start in his stead, with Michael Carter-Williams seeing time as the backup point guard.

Aminu has missed the past five games, but he was seen doing some light shooting work following Wednesday's morning shootaround, suggesting he's making solid progress. Additional updates should emerge when Aminu hits various milestones in his recovery.

Just as the Kings and Nuggets have done with Harry Giles and Michael Porter Jr., respectively, over the past two years, the Magic plan to treat Okeke's rookie campaign as a redshirt year while the big man recovers from the torn ACL he sustained while playing for Auburn in the NCAA tournament. Okeke should be at or near full strength in the spring, but the Magic won't rush him back into action while the team prioritizes his long-term health. Even if he entered training camp 100 percent healthy, Okeke would likely have trouble finding playing time with all of Nikola Vucevic, Aaron Gordon, Mo Bamba, Jonathan Isaac and Al-Farouq Aminu ahead of him in some order on the Magic's frontcourt depth chart.
