Orlando Magic guard Victor Oladipo is expected to miss a month after undergoing surgery for a facial fracture, Yahoo's Adrian Wojnarowski reported on Saturday. The team announced the injury on Friday.

An inadvertent elbow to Oladipo in practice on Thursday caused the injury, according to a news release.
