Orlando Magic were late arriving into England, but have made it to London, ahead of Thursday’s regular season game against the Toronto Raptors at the O2 Arena.
The Magic were meant to practice earlier today [Tuesday] but told NBA officials that they would cancel the session at the Imperial College.
Despite arriving a day later than the Raptors, the young Magic side are looking forward to the London experience.
“London is an amazing city and we’re glad to be here,” Magic’s Victor Oladipo said.
“We have a busy schedule ahead of us but we’ve been looking forward to this trip. I can’t wait to see the NBA fans here in the UK and I’m sure the game at The O2 will be a very special experience for fans and players alike.”
