It has felt like a long time since we have seen the Orlando Magic take the floor.<\/p>\n

The sting of a disappointing playoff series is hard to wear off<\/a>. Everyone wanted some time away after a frustrating season. The hope and optimism of last summer had completely worn off.<\/p>\n

There is still some trepidation entering the upcoming NBA season. <\/p>\n

The Magic changed coaches, hiring Sean Sweeney<\/a>. But they largely kept the roster the same, losing only Moe Wagner and Jett Howard and acquiring Nikola Vucevic<\/a> (who returned to Orlando this week<\/a> for his first trip to the AdventHealth Training Center).<\/p>\n

Orlando is betting on improved health<\/a> from Franz Wagner, especially, and internal growth to reclaim their spot near the top of the Eastern Conference. There is a healthy amount of skepticism around the league.<\/p>\n

But August springs hope eternal.<\/p>\n

If you cannot believe in the best version of a team in August, it is hard to believe in it at any point. This is the time to be excited.<\/p>\n

The Magic got their path for the 2027 season<\/a> with the release of the schedule on Thursday. Orlando certainly will have a challenge ahead of them with how difficult the Eastern Conference is set to become. The start to the Magic’s season will certainly be tricky too.<\/p>\n

But Orlando has the talent to handle it. If the Magic are as good as they believe, they will find out fairly quickly what they can accomplish this season.<\/p>\n

There are still six weeks left before training camp begins on Sept. 29 — with media day set for Sept. 28. The schedule is out and everyone cannot wait for Magic basketball anymore.<\/p>\n

Patience, Padowan. For now, remind yourself how to catch all the action with the Magic season on the horizon.<\/p>\n
