The Orlando Magic shared a video of their squad boarding their bus ahead of Sunday’s game against the New York Knicks and seemed to inadvertently expose a team full of hungover players.
With a Sunday game against the New York Knicks on December 7 following a Friday night win over the Miami Heat at home, the Magic has off in New York City on Saturday night and, based on the video shared by the team, took full advantage of that fact.

“We look dead 😭😭 yeah we are losing by 30 today,” one worried fan predicted.
“They woke up an hour ago,” another said. “These boys are hungover.”
“This guys aren’t allowed in New York ever again.”
“12 walking hangovers. GGs boys.”
“I know a hung squad when I see one.”
While the Magic didn’t quite get blown out by 30 like some of their worried fans were predicting, they did fall to the New York Knicks on Sunday by a score of 106-100.
Unfortunately for the Magic, the story of the day wasn’t even the loss to the Knicks, but the injury to fourth-year small forward Franz Wagner, who was in the midst of a breakout season with the Magic has he was averaging 24.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 4.7 assists per game, all of which are career-highs.
During the first quarter of the loss to the Knicks, Wagner was going up for a dunk on a lob pass from teammate Anthony Black when he was fouled by Knicks center Ariel Hukporti, leading him to land awkwardly on his left leg and immediately grabbed at the area below his knee.
Wagner was then taken to the locker room and did not return to the game, and is expected to undergo an MRI this week.
