Orlando Sentinel columnist Mike Bianchi argues that the Orlando Magic's recent injury woes are not a unique curse but rather a symptom of a broader injury epidemic across the modern NBA.

In a column published Thursday, Bianchi points to the increasing frequency of player injuries league-wide, suggesting that the Magic's situation reflects a systemic issue rather than bad luck specific to the franchise.

The NBA has seen a rise in missed games due to injury in recent seasons, prompting discussions about schedule density, player workload, and sports science approaches.
