Magic vs. Grizzlies Preview: How to Watch, Lineups, Injury Reports
In this story:
ORLANDO - The Orlando Magic (0-0) tip off its preseason tonight against the Memphis Grizzlies (1-0), who dazzled last season behind MVP candidate Ja Morant.
While Morant isn't likely to play, one player expected to make his highly-anticipated debut is No. 1 overall pick Paolo Banchero.
It will be Banchero's first appearance with the Magic since tweaking his ankle in the second game of Las Vegas Summer League.
While it is only the preseason, there is excitement and anticipation behind seeing the Magic take the court tonight. It's a step up from Summer League, but a step away from the regular season, which begins October 19 against the Detroit Pistons.
Everyone healthy should see the floor at some point tonight, but nobody to see any more than 30 minutes of action to start the preseason. This game is all about shaking off some rust.
