Fournier is expected to start Wednesday's game against the Spurs in place of Tobias Harris (ankle), John Denton of OrlandoMagic.com reports.
Analysis:
Harris will miss a third straight game with a sore ankle, opening the door for Fournier to again fill in at small forward. The Frenchman has played 42 and 43 minutes, respectively, in the Magic's last two games, averaging 18.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.5 assists over that span. Orlando is relatively shallow at the small forward spot, so it wouldn't be surprise if Fournier sees another high minutes total Wednesday night. Harris is expected to return after the All-Star break, at which time Fournier will likely shift back to a bench role.
