Worse, he has had as many or more turnovers than assists in three of Miami’s first five games. It seems he is still learning to facilitate and find open shots for others. Miami entered Friday ranked 198th nationally in assist-to- turnover ratio (0.98), and that number is going down; it had just six assists to 19 turnovers against the Cyclones.

Orlando Magic community relations programs impact an estimated 100,000 kids each year, while a Magic staff-wide initiative provides more than 7,000 volunteer hours annually.
