Injuries keep shaking the Orlando Magic's roster this season. As if two players out for the remainder of the season wasn't enough, and Orlando will have another player sidelined for an extended period of time.
The team has confirmed rookie Cole Anthony has a non-displaced fracture of his right first rib and will not return before the All-Star break.

Unfortunate news for the Orlando Magic, who had found their primarily ball handler with Markelle Fultz out for the remainder of the season with a torn ACL.
By playing defense with great intensity as well as remaining aggressive on the offensive end, Anthony proved to be ready for the league in just his first couple of games as a pro.
The UNC Product has appeared in 25 games, making 17 starts for the Magic this season.
He’s averaging 11.0 points, 4.4 assists and 3.8 rebounds in 26.7 minutes per contest while shooting 37.5 percent from the field, 32.5 percent from three-point range and 83.6 percent from the free throw line.
