Popular referee suffers injury in 76ers vs. Magic

The Orlando Magic and Philadelphia 76ers are playing their matchup at the Kia Center, but both teams will be affected by an injury to head referee Bill Kennedy.

Kennedy appeared to suffer a non-contact leg injury towards the end of the first quarter between the 76ers and Magic. He was attended to by 76ers medical staff members and was wheeled off the court.

Kennedy is one of the long-serving referees in the NBA, so it is a difficult injury to stomach for both teams.

The game between the 76ers and Magic can be watched on FanDuel Sports Network or streamed on NBA League Pass.
