Magic shooting guard Terrence Ross leaves NBA bubble

The Orlando Magic roster took another hit after the team announced shooting guard Terrence Ross left the NBA campus following Sunday's game against the Celtics for off-site tests due to a non-COVID medical issue.

Ross left on the advice of league physicians, according to the team.

Ross will miss Tuesday's game against the Nets and his future availability will depend on test results and NBA quarantine protocol, the team said.

Magic coach Steve Clifford did not have any other information on Ross' departure or his condition, other than to say Ross left because a medical issue that was not related to COVID-19.

"The NBA physician here wanted him to get tested so that's what happened," Clifford said Monday during a videoconference with reporters.

Since their July 30 opener against the Brooklyn Nets, the Magic lost Jonathan Isaac to a torn ACL on Aug. 2 and starting forward Aaron Gordon and reserve guard Michael Carter-Williams missed a combined five games due to injuries. In addition, starting shooting guard Evan Fournier sat out Sunday's game because of an illness.

Ross scored 18 points during Sunday's 122-119 overtime loss to the Celtics.
