MEMPHIS, Tenn. – United, the Orlando Magic will stand tonight for the national anthem.
Following a lengthy team meeting on Sunday where they formulated a plan to honor the national anthem and U.S. flag, focus on team unity and basketball and continue to build bridges through community service, Magic players will stand as a team during the playing of the ``Star Spangled Banner’’ prior to tonight’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies.
The decision is believed to be one that will last the entire season. The Magic’s regular season opens on Oct. 18 when they face the Miami Heat at the Amway Center.
