Wembanyama said his ankle felt fine. He said he was OK with missing the Milwaukee game and with the minutes restriction tonight.
“It’s my first season,” he said. “My body is adapting to this, so we think about the long term…We have got to be smart.” – 10:57 PM

BUCKS WIN! pic.twitter.com/9aLjgmVnYx – 10:36 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
This has been one of the uglier games of the season. The Magic are just a really good, physical defensive squad.
Bucks did just enough though. – 10:28 PM

Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Pacers lose in Memphis 116-103, now are 2-5 since the IST championship game.
The offense was slowed for most of the game, held to a season-low 103pts & just 32 paint points. Shot 42%.
Obi Toppin led the Pacers with 22pts. Morant had 20 and Bane scored 31.
Next: v ORL on Sat. – 10:27 PM

Dan Savage @Dan_Savage
The @orlandomagic close the gap to 5 with 2 minutes remaining in the 4th.
Bucks 107, Magic 102 – 10:22 PM

Tom Orsborn @tom_orsborn
Pop said Victor played only 22 – 8 below his season average – due to a minutes limitation after missing Tuesday’s loss at Milwaukee with a sore right ankle:
“We have to abide by that, but he’s fine.” – 10:20 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Adrian Griffin with the UIOLI.
Bucks up, 105-97, with 3:21 left. – 10:19 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Damian Lillard was not getting the call with Magic guards trailing behind him while he was driving to the basket.
So, he’s now just pulled up off of dribble handoffs and drawn a couple fouls. A smart adjustment. – 10:16 PM

Orlando Magic @OrlandoMagic

Grizzlies have protected the paint and made things as difficult there as any team the Pacers have faced this season.
Pacers have only 28 paint points; their season low is 40 (Milwaukee). – 10:06 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Jonathan Isaac got Giannis Antetokounmpo again, but the Bucks haven’t stopped attacking.
Bucks up, 97-91, with 7:16 left.
Antetokounmpo up to 30 points after that layup and he also has 10reb/6ast. – 10:06 PM

Ball movement and a boogie. pic.twitter.com/SSB6oDf0uh – 9:42 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
MarJon Beauchamp just threw an alley-oop up to Giannis Antetokounmpo and he threw it off the back rim. Antetokounmpo went to the bench campaigning for a foul.
The Magic went the other way and hit a 3. Bucks up, 82-70, with 4:14 left in the third quarter. – 9:42 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
That’s a really nice start to the third quarter from the Bucks offensively. They’re driving and kicking and working until they find open shots. And they’re 3-of-5 from 3 to start the quarter.
Bucks up, 77-65, with 6:40 left in the third quarter. – 9:33 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Phew. That was a nice block by Brook Lopez on that two-hand dunk attempt by Wendell Carter Jr. – 9:27 PM

KC Johnson @KCJHoop
Alright, that was some Wemby magic there. Defensive rebound, dribbled length of court and no-look pass for Sochan dunk. – 9:25 PM

Here is some halftime reading: I caught up with Jett Howard this week at the G League Showcase to discuss playing with Osceola, improving his defense and the state of the Magic this season

If nothing else the Magic appear to have figured out a way to get MWagner going even without Ingles spoon-feeding him at the rim – 8:53 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
That’s a really nice take by MarJon Beauchamp. Turned the corner, got downhill and dunked it with two hands with Jonathan Isaac challenging at the rim.
Magic still up, 45-41, with 6:51 left in the second quarter though. – 8:50 PM

Evan Dunlap @BQRMagic
Isaac stoning Giannis at the rim twice. Add that to the Jason Tatum torture chamber reel from the IST. – 8:43 PM

Dan Savage @Dan_Savage
That’s why they call Jonathan Isaac the Minister of Defense. – 8:42 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Man, you don’t see Giannis Antetokounmpo get blocked often and Jonathan Isaac just got him twice on the same possession.
Magic up, 39-30, with 9:28 left in the first half. – 8:42 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
The Bucks are breaking out their 2-3 zone to try to break up the Magic’s rhythm. – 8:40 PM

Giannis Antetokounmpo is off to a quick start tonight. He has nine points, three rebounds and two assists in the first six and a half minutes tonight.
Bucks up, 15-10, with 6:17 left in the first quarter. – 8:19 PM

Evan Dunlap @BQRMagic
Magic gotta find a way out of this rut. Schedule isn’t gonna get any easier – 8:16 PM

Tom Orsborn @tom_orsborn
Keldon Johnson starts where he left off in Milwaukee by falling to the court after getting fouled on a driving layup. – 8:14 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Khris Middleton loves showing off his throwing arm.
Just tossed one the length of the court to Giannis Antetokounmpo, who was fouled by Franz Wagner as he laid it in. – 8:14 PM

Giannis Antetokounmpo blocks a shot on one end and lays it in on the other end to open scoring tonight in Milwaukee. – 8:11 PM
