Want to watch Daniel Orton and Stanley Robinson play for the Orlando Magic in the Orlando Pro Summer League?
Get your TVs ready.
All of the games will be televised for the first time in the summer league’s history. Turner Sports publicists said each game will air live on NBA TV.
Basketball fans can watch No. 2 overall pick Evan Turner and No. 3 overall pick Derrick Favors make their professional debuts. Turner’s Philadelphia 76ers and Favors’ New Jersey Nets will play each other at 1 p.m. on Monday, July 5.
The Magic’s summer-league team will have Orton and Robinson in its lineup when it faces the Indiana Pacers at 3 p.m. on July 5.
Orlando’s Pro Summer League, held at on the Magic’s practice court at RDV Sportsplex, is closed to the public. The venue is so small that there’s no room for anyone but team officials, agents, media and the players themselves.
Each team plays one game per day for five days. The Boston Celtics, Charlotte Bobcats, Oklahoma City Thunder and the Utah Jazz will participate along with the Magic, Nets. Pacers and Sixers.
The Magic broadcasted the games live over the Internet in recent years. Team spokesman Joel Glass said the Magic have asked league officials for permission to stream the games online once again but haven’t received a response yet.
The league’s marquee exhibition will be Monday’s 76ers-Nets game. In addition to Turner, the Sixers are expected to have second-year point guard Jrue Holiday on their roster, a Philadelphia spokesman said. In addition to Favors, the Nets are expected to have their 11th overall pick from last year’s draft, Terrence Williams, on their roster.
