ORLANDO, Fla. – The Orlando Magic and Phoenix Suns are set to square off Sunday evening inside the Kia Center. Tipoff is at 6:30 p.m. ET.

The Magic, 16-9 this season and third in the East, will soon trudge forward without Paolo Banchero or Franz Wagner – Orlando's star duo with identical torn oblique injuries. Sunday's contest against the visiting Suns is the first time doing so this season.

Phoenix, who's 12-10 this season and eighth in the West, comes in on the heels of a loss to Miami on Saturday evening, meaning Sunday's 6:30 tip is not only a back-to-back, but it's slated to start less than 24 hours after their previous game tipped off. They'll be without star power themselves – Kevin Durant is out with an ankle injury for the contest, and the Suns are 1-8 without him this season.

Sunday's contest concludes the season series between the two teams.

He's a Colorado alum, and played four years of professional basketball in Mexico, Australia, Finland and South Korea.

Mike Budenholzer, Phoenix Suns: After Frank Vogel was let go after just one season as the head coach of the Suns, Budenholzer was announced as the new leading man this past May.

He was also the NBA's Coach of the Year during his stint in Milwaukee. Elsewhere around the league, he's also been a head coach of Atlanta and a longtime assistant with San Antonio.
