We go again.
This time, also without BI:
Brandon Ingram will not play tonight against the Magic for precautionary reasons, per the team.

He has a right knee contusion after he bumped knees during the Minnesota game on Monday.
BI practiced Tuesday and participated in shootaround today.
On the plus side, Jonas is expected to play, so while we obviously lose a lot on the perimeter, we do gain something big back on in the interior which is pretty important considering that we were extremely empty in the paint last game and Jax got dinged up as well.
Let's see what happens.
