OKLAHOMA CITY — Tuesday’s game between the Magic and Thunder marked the last for Orlando before Thursday’s 3 p.m. NBA trade deadline.
With rumors swirling around the league, Jamahl Mosley‘s squad is aware of what could happen before the team steps on the Kia Center court to take on the Nets hours after the deadline.
Wendell Carter Jr., who the Magic acquired from Chicago in a March 2021 blockbuster deal, understands what this time of the season feels like for players.
“Since I’ve been through it before, you try not to think about it as much,” Carter said after shootaround at the former Thunder practice facility in Edmond, Okla.
