The Orlando Magic will tip off their 2024-25 NBA preseason against the New Orleans Pelicans at 1:30 p.m. inside the Smoothie King Center, but Pelicans star Brandon Ingram will be sidelined for the contest.

Coach Willie Green confirmed that Ingram’s absence is not due to injury but rather a collective decision. While the exact reasoning behind the decision remains unclear, it appears that the Pelicans are opting to rest Ingram for the preseason opener.

This will be a key opportunity for the Magic to test their mettle against a strong Pelicans team, even without Ingram.
