The Orlando Magic travel to face the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday, February 22, at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, CA, carrying multiple injury concerns.
According to the official NBA injury report, Orlando will be without Colin Castleton and Alex Morales, both two-way players assigned to the G League. Franz Wagner is sidelined with a left ankle high sprain, while Jalen Suggs is listed as questionable due to back spasms.
On the Clippers’ side, the team faces significant absences as Bradley Beal remains out with a left hip fracture. John Collins is out with a head laceration and neck soreness, and Darius Garland is sidelined for left toe injury management. Kawhi Leonard is questionable with left ankle soreness, raising doubts about his availability.
Orlando enters the matchup with a 29-26 record, sitting eighth in the Eastern Conference. Paolo Banchero leads the team with 21.5 points and 8.3 rebounds per game, while Desmond Bane contributes 19.6 points and 4.1 assists. Wagner’s absence removes a 21.3-point scoring option, increasing reliance on Banchero, Bane, and Anthony Black, who averages 16.1 points and 4.0 assists per game.
The Clippers hold a 27-29 record, ninth in the Western Conference, and are coming off a one-point home win against the Denver Nuggets and a narrow loss to the Lakers.
Leonard’s potential absence could disrupt their offensive rhythm, as he averages 27.8 points and 6.3 rebounds per game. Bennedict Mathurin has been a key contributor for Los Angeles, averaging 22.3 points across four games this season, while supporting scoring comes from role players like Derrick Jones Jr. and Kris Dunn.
Orlando defeated Los Angeles 129-101 in their earlier meeting at the Kia Center on November 20, 2025.
