Injuries and surgeries
Though he was not expected to get much playing time, Adonal Foyle underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right knee on October 21, a little more than a week before the start of the season. His return depends on how well his knee recovers with treatment.[29]
Vince Carter was injured on October 30 during the second game of the season, suffering a sprained left ankle. The injury was reported as not too serious, but caused Carter to miss four of the Magic's next five games.[30]
Ryan Anderson injured his ankle in the game against Detroit on November 3. He missed the following 4 games before returning to play against the Bobcats.[31]
Jameer Nelson suffered a torn meniscus in his left knee during the 4th quarter of a game on November 16. The next day it was revealed that arthroscopic surgery would be required to repair the injury. He was expected to be out 4–6 weeks,[1] but a report later in the week stated his teammates expected him to be gone for only 3 weeks.[32] Ultimately, Nelson would return to action on December 21, five weeks to the day of his injury.[2]
Minor League Affiliate
The Magic are affiliated with the Reno Bighorns of the D-League.[33] They replace the Bakersfield Jam for the 2009-10 season.
