There are four NBA preseason games scheduled for Wednesday, including the Orlando Magic vs San Antonio Spurs. The game will be played at the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, with both teams coming off losses in their preseason debuts.

Orlando only made one major move this offseason, adding Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, who brings playoff experience. The Magic were on the verge of beating the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 7 of their first-round series when they blew a big lead in the second half.

Meanwhile, the Spurs added Stephon Castle on draft day, but their biggest acquisition was Chris Paul. They signed the veteran point guard to a one-year deal to help Victor Wembanyama unlock more of his potential. San Antonio's main problem last season was the lack of a real playmaker.
