ANALYSIS: The Magic applied for the league's disabled player exception once it was announced that starting point guard Markelle Fultz would miss the remainder of the season with a torn ACL. With the NBA approving disabled player exception, Orlando will now have until April 19th to use the open roster spot. The Magic currently sit 8-12 on the season and 11th in the Eastern Conference.
