Appling will sign a 10-day contract with the Magic, Shams Charania of Yahoo.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Appling has most recently been playing with the Erie Bayhawks of the D-League, where he's taken part in 17 games and posted averages of 16.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 2.1 steals over 31 minutes. With C.J. Watson (calf) and Shabazz Napier (illness) dealing with their respective issues, the Magic were looking for some extra help in the backcourt, so Appling will get the call. Look for him to start his stint with the Magic as a deep reserve at point guard.
