The Spurs-Magic tip-off has been pushed back due to travel issues in San Antonio
San Antonio The Spurs and Orlando Magic will face off today, but it looks like a game it will be pushed back several hours due to travel issues, says Brett Siegel of Clutch Points. The game was originally scheduled to start at 7pm ET.
“Tonight’s Magic-Spurs game in San Antonio will now be played at 9:00 PM ET due to Spurs travel issues today,” Siegel wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
The Spurs were stuck in Charlotte after facing the Hornets the previous day due to a snowstorm and limited travel. The game was already delayed, but now it will start even later. That doesn’t sound like it’s doing the Spurs much, especially since it’s the second game of back-to-back games.
As for the Magic, they should probably be rested and ready to go.
Both teams are trying to keep pace with other teams in their respective conferences, and a win for either side would be huge. Spurs have shown this season that they are one of the better teams in the league, and Victor Vembanyama led the group. At the same time, when Wembanjama is not playing, Spurs still show enough fight to win.
They took the loss to the Hornets, but they were one of the hottest teams in recent memory.
As for the Magic, they have been up and down this season as injuries have caught up with them again. Franz Wagner is excluded for the last five games, and it is uncertain when he will return. For now, Paolo Banchero leads the group with the help of others such as Desmond Bain and Anthony Black.
The only thing the Magic probably want to avoid this season is the Play-Ins, and they’ll have to keep climbing the standings to do that.
