The New Orleans Pelicans, who are in the midst of appearing in four preseason games in eight days, will welcome the Orlando Magic Wednesday evening. This 7:00 p.m. tip-off represents the only home contest on the exhibition schedule.
Fans should get a chance to see Jonas Valanciunas in uniform for the first time, as he was upgraded to probable (right thumb sprain) yesterday. Meanwhile, Jaxson Hayes (left ankle sprain) and Zion Williamson (right foot surgery) are out.
A return of the team’s new center would be timely given the starting lineup’s struggle to score at the outset of the Pelicans’ 117-114 loss to the Timberwolves.
