Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon (back/hip) will not play Sunday against the Charlotte Hornets.

Myles Turner Out, Jeremy Lamb In Wednesday

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (hand) will not play against the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday, but guard/forward Jeremy Lamb (knee) will be making his season debut.

Orlando Magic guard/forward Evan Fournier (back) is listed as questionable Wednesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Fournier participated in a non-contact practice Tuesday, but head coach Steve Clifford stated the players' participation does not necessarily mean they are slated to return.
