Magic's Jeff Green: Ruled out Friday vs. Pistons

Green (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Pistons, John Denton of OrlandoMagic.com reports.

Analysis:

Green was also forced to miss Wednesday's game against the Hornets due to back spasms, which apparently haven't subsided enough for him to suit up in the Magic's final contest of the week. While his absence figures to result in Mario Hezonja seeing more run behind Aaron Gordon (hip), the Magic not playing again until Monday could bode well for Green's chances of keeping his absence brief.
