Alex

Morales

Robinson, who was on a two-way contract, appeared in just four games for the Magic before the All-Star break. In a corresponding move that won’t affect fantasy basketball, the team signed wing Alex Morales to a two-way contract.

Saturday is a busy day in the NBA, with many teams beginning the process of trimming down their rosters in advance of opening night. Orlando waived four training camp participants, with former lottery pick Culver boasting the highest profile. He was unlikely to factor into the rotation if retained, and the same can be said for Morales, Slawson, and Thompson. Look for some players to land with Orlando’s G League affiliate.

To make room for Scrubb and Morales, the Magic have waived Aleem Ford and Zavier Simpson. Scrubb, a second-round pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, appeared in 18 games for the Clippers last season. As for Morales, he was not undrafted after a solid four-year career at Wagner College. Orlando is shorthanded on the perimeter, as Jalen Suggs (knee) and Markelle Fultz (toe) are currently dealing with injuries. However, that is unlikely to impact Scrubb or Morales. Look for those two to spend most of their time with the Magic’s G League affiliate in Lakeland.
