The NBA Cup is here and still carries a lot of significance for the Orlando Magic. Even though the Magic are a playoff team with expectations, these games are still important for the team's development, especially without key player Paolo Banchero.
The NBA Cup has arrived. Unlike last year, the Orlando Magic are an established team with playoff experience. The NBA Cup may not hold the same potential for significance for this growing team this time around, especially with Paolo Banchero out. But this is a prime opportunity for the team to shine, even without their star.
The Magic still have a lot to prove in the next month during the NBA Cup. Even if the games are not as special as they were for last year's team.
