Cam Thomas - Scores 10 points in 24 minutes Thomas closed with 10 points (3-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one block over 24 minutes during Wednesday's 104-103 overtime loss to the Magic.

Impact Thomas had a tough time getting his shot to drop against Orlando's gritty defense, but on the plus side, this was the most minutes he's logged since coming back from the hamstring injury. He also added a block to his stat line Wednesday night, accounting for his second blocked shot of the season and the 35th of his career.

Egor Dëmin - Scores 18 points with full line Demin chipped in 18 points (5-9 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 3-5 FT), five rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 104-103 overtime loss to the Magic.

Impact Demin was quiet for most of the game, but with just five seconds left in regulation, he drilled a huge triple to send the game to overtime. The late, three-point make was just his second bucket of the evening, but he caught fire during the overtime period and scored 10 of his 18 points during the final frame. The rookie has been in a nice rhythm over the past four games, flirting with top-75 numbers behind averages of 16.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 4.3 triples and 1.0 steals per game.

Nic Claxton - Claxton swats two shots off bench Claxton provided seven points (3-4 FG, 1-4 FT), six rebounds and two blocks across 23 minutes during Wednesday's 104-103 overtime loss to Orlando.

Impact Claxton's upside is muted in the reserve role, but head coach Jordi Fernandez said that Claxton's minutes restrictions would be lifted his next time out, so we'd expect him to return to the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Clippers. Day'Ron Sharpe finished with five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, two steals and five turnovers across 30 minutes in the one-point loss.
