Magic may get reprieve after Hornets star's injury

The Orlando Magic are in the locker room at halftime against the Charlotte Hornets at the Kia Center looking for a way to get back in the game after a difficult first half.

It may not come in the best of ways, but a reprieve may be coming their way. Hornets star rookie Kon Knueppel suffered a leg injury in the final seconds of the first half and was helped off the court into the locker room.

It remains to be seen if Knueppel will return to the game, but if he doesn't the Magic will have a better chance to win. Knueppel led all scorers with 16 points in the first half while making all four of his 3-pointers.

The Magic trail 57-48 against the Hornets going into the second half. Fans can watch the game on FanDuel Sports Network or stream it on NBA League Pass.
