Afflalo registered 32 points, three assists and three rebounds on 11-of-18 shooting before getting injured. He just missed out on this year’s All-Star game and was having a career season, averaging 19.5 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.6 assists in his second season with the Magic.
The veteran wing man has provided Orlando major minutes this season and was a frequent name hovering around the recently-passed trade deadline.
Orlando went on to beat the Knicks in double-overtime, 129-121. Magic rookie guard Victor Oladipo finished with 30 points, 14 assists and nine rebounds.
Carmelo Anthony led the way for New York with 44 points on 16-of-28 shooting. The star forward also provided 11 rebounds in the loss.
