ORLANDO, Fla. —

The NBA regular season is less than two weeks away, and Orlando Magic Training Camp is in full swing.

Thursday, the Magic hosted practice before their flight to Philadelphia for their preseason matchup on Friday night.

“We were focused on the sprint game, focused on our crashing (rebounding) ability, then the defensive side of the ball,” said Orlando Magic Coach Jamahl Mosley. “Being in the right position and knowing where you are on the floor at all times, depending on where the ball is.”

One area Mosley wants to see the most improvement from his team is conditioning.

“You’ve got to be able to play both sides of the basketball,” said Mosley. “You talk about being able to run, but us being a defensive team, that’s where we’re hanging our hat, you’ve got to be able to do both.”

Training Camp in the AdventHealth Training Center has seen a focus on communication and leadership for the players. And with new faces playing major minutes for this Magic team, communication will be key to finding success.

“Great teams are based on how well the guys communicate with one another, and how they’re holding each other accountable,” said Mosley. “That’s what this group is really moving towards.”

Orlando Magic Forward Tristan da Silva emphasized Coach Mosley’s points on communication and said that the veteran leadership coming in should help them talk on the court.

“With the new pieces coming in, with D-Bane and Tyus (Jones), I feel like we’ve got really vocal guys that know what it takes to win, and be part of a great team and organization,” said da Silva.

The Orlando Magic play the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday at 7:00 p.m. EST, in their last preseason game away from the Kia Center in Orlando.
