The Orlando Magic is back in action, starting the season on the road against Cade Cunningham and the Detroit Pistons.
ORLANDO - The Orlando Magic (0-0) is back in action tonight to kick off the 2022-23 season against the Detroit Pistons (0-0).
Tonight's match pits the two previous No. 1 overall picks against each other. Cade Cunningham begins his second season in the NBA, and he's preparing to welcome Magic forward Paolo Banchero into the league.
Banchero's highly-anticipated debut comes four months after the Magic surprisingly drafted him with the top pick. While it seemed like the Magic might select Jabari Smith Jr. or Chet Holmgren, Orlando is now all-in on Banchero.
Tonight, Banchero makes his mark as he plays on an NBA court in a regular season game for the first time in his career.
Here's a look at the information you need to know for tonight ...
