The Magic announced Monday that Nelson will undergo surgery to repair a fracture in his left ankle, and he's expected to return to basketball activities in 3-4 months.

Nelson sustained the fracture during Sunday's Summer League win over Portland and is now in danger of missing the start of the 2026-27 campaign. The No. 51 overall pick in this year's draft signed a two-way contract with the Magic and isn't expected to have a consistent role with the parent club once he returns.
