The unofficial debut for the top pick in the 2022 NBA Draft will take place on October 3.
That’s when the Orlando Magic will open the preseason.
The Magic begin on the road, traveling to Memphis to face the Grizzlies. They then play a back-to-back in Texas against the San Antonio Spurs and Dallas Mavericks. They conclude the preseason with home games against Memphis and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
In addition to having the top pick on the court in full Magic uniform for the first time (outside of Summer League), the game could possibly mark the long-overdue return of Jonathan Isaac.
