Orlando Magic continues to justify the (un)popular name that permeates the basketball world "Tradžik" (Tragic).
The team from Florida lost the tenth match match of the last 12, against the Sacramento Kings.
Orlando's problem is that, unlike teams that are also not shining this season, they have nothing to hope for right now.
The Los Angeles Lakers are playing poorly, but they have prospects and potential superstar players in young talents Kyle Kuzma, Lonzo Ball, and Brandon Ingram. Bulls have Lauri Markanen, Kris Dunn, Zach LaVine.
Orlando has our national team player Nikola Vucevic, but his name is increasingly being linked to a move to some "happier" franchise.
The popular "Nik" finished the match last night with a modest 13 points and 5 rebounds.
The only basketball player who "earned a salary" last night was Jonathon Simmons, who finished the match with 25 points and 5 rebounds.
In the Sacramento team, which is also not shining this season, captain Gary Temple had a good match, who scored 23 points and had two assists and rebounds each.
Kosta Koufos was dominant under the baskets, so he added 18 rebounds to the performance of 13 points.
Serbian basketball player Bogdan Bogdanović was in the starting five, but he was more in the mood as an organizer than as an "executor".
Bogdanović distributed 10 assists, and the match ended with, for him, a more modest performance of 8 points.
Vince Carter, although he is 41 years old, gave his former team 15 points.
In the end, the "Kings" triumph of 94:88.
