The Orlando Magic traded guard Arron Afflalo to the Denver Nuggets for guard Evan Fournier and the 56th pick in Thursday's NBA Draft, reports Yahoo! Sports Adrian Wojnarowski.

Afflalo led the Magic in scoring, averaging 18.2 points, to go along with 3.4 assists and 3.6 rebounds in 73 games last season. He was originally drafted as the 27th overall pick in the 2007 NBA Draft by the Detroit Pistons and was traded two years later to Denver for a second-round pick.

Orlando still has the No. 4 and No. 12 selections in the first round, while Denver's first round selection is 11th.
