The recent downturn for the Orlando Magic certainly can point to injuries as a contributing cause. The return of the Magic’s leading scorer was certainly a boost to the team even in Monday’s loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Fournier’s return alone is not going to fix everything, though. The Magic need a lot more than just him.

Getting him back and sending players back to their normal rotations and roles will help. Especially if Fournier can get back to where he was before the heel injury sidelined him.
