Magic missing Aaron Gordon, 2 others while Sixers miss Ben Simmons

The Orlando Magic will be missing Aaron Gordon and 2 others while the Philadelphia 76ers will be without Ben Simmons.

The Philadelphia 76ers will be shorthanded on Friday when they take on the Orlando Magic without the services of Ben Simmons and that is a huge loss due to the fact that Simmons is one of the elite players in the game. However, the Magic will be missing some key members as well.

Orlando will be coming into this game already missing Jonathan Isaac due to a torn ACL, but now they will be missing another key starter in Aaron Gordon who is dealing with a hamstring strain while also missing backup guard Michael Carter-Williams to a foot injury. So while Philadelphia is missing a key member, the Magic will be equally as shorthanded in this matchup.

The Sixers will have to lean more on Joel Embiid in this matchup as they get set to move forward as a team. Tipoff from the HP Field House in Disney World is set for 6:30 p.m. EST. [lawrence-related id=36350,36339,36333]
