Kentavious Caldwell-Pope of the Orlando Magic will miss the game against the Los Angeles Lakers due to personal reasons. He has been a key player, starting all 16 games and contributing significantly to the team's performance.
With his absence, the Magic have several options to fill his role, including Gary Harris, Anthony Black, Jett Howard, Jonathan Isaac, and Caleb Houstan. Each player brings unique strengths, but replacing Caldwell-Pope's defensive prowess will be a challenge.
