ORLANDO - The Orlando Magic is frustrated after a 124-109 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday night at the Kia Center.

Minutes after the game, outspoken Sixers guard Patrick Beverley tweeted, "Belt 2 A$$ Tour. Thanks Orlando way to show up."

Carter Jr. was asked about Beverley in his post-media session, and he dismissed his efforts in the contest.

"No one's really worried about Patrick," Carter Jr. said. "I mean a five point game. I don't understand how you affected the game but that's what he does. Now he's trying to get us to buy into his his online antics. You know, he's just doing a lot right now. And I guess that's his angle he's trying to take now he's at the towards the end of his career. So kudos to him, I guess he did a good job."

It's uncertain as to whether Beverley's tweet is a shot at the Magic. However, in the offseason, Beverley criticized Orlando on his podcast when Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner were named top 100 players.

"If you got two people out of the top 100 on your team, Orlando Magic, you should be winning games," Beverley said on his podcast before asking, "Why are you so bad?"

The Magic is 22-20 on the season, which is roughly six games behind the 76ers, but with Orlando's ascension, this could be another chapter in the budding rivalry between the two teams.

The Magic is back in action on Sunday against the Miami Heat. Tipoff is scheduled for 6 p.m. ET.
