Magic's Evan Fournier: Has sore back, but will start Wednesday

Fournier had been listed on the Magic's injury report with a sore lower back, according to Cody Taylor of Basketball Insiders, but coach Frank Vogel confirmed Wednesday morning that the shooting guard would start later in the evening against the Timberwolves, John Denton of OrlandoMagic.com reports.

Analysis:

Fournier's back injury is probably just a minor issue, and since he's already been confirmed as part of the Magic's starting five Wednesday, it doesn't look like it's anything that fantasy owners need to worry about. However, should Wednesday's game turn non-competitive quickly, there's a chance that Vogel could look to reduce the Frenchman's workload, in which case Mario Hezonja would take on increased minutes.
