Victor Oladipo's availability for season opener unclear

The Magic and Victor Oladipo aren't providing a timetable on when he'll return. It could be overly optimistic to expect Oladipo to have recovered fully from his right knee's sprained MCL by the time the Magic open their regular season on Oct. 28 in New Orleans.

"It feels a lot better," Oladipo said. "It's a day-by-day process. A sprained MCL is kind of like a scab. You've just got to let it heal. That's pretty much what I'm doing."

Oladipo watched from a courtside exercise bike as his teammates spent the last 35 minutes of team's workout doing some light transition defense drills and some low-intensity scrimmaging.
