Magic vs. Knicks rematch set for NBA Cup semifinal

The Orlando Magic are getting ready to face off against the New York Knicks in Las Vegas for the NBA Cup semifinal.

The two teams have already met three times this season, and a fourth game will now take place between the two Eastern Conference rivals.

The Magic won the first two meetings of the season, but the rivalry heated up in the third meeting between the two teams just two days ago.

During the game, Magic forward Franz Wagner suffered a high ankle sprain when fouled hard by Knicks center Ariel Hukporti. Wagner will be sidelined for the next couple of weeks, but that wasn’t all between the two teams.

Later in the game, Magic guard Desmond Bane threw a basketball at Knicks forward OG Anunoby while he was crouched over on the baseline. Bane received a technical foul and a $35,000 fine for the incident.

It’s safe to say the Knicks aren’t fans of Bane or the Magic going into the matchup. Now, the basketball world gets to see the two teams in the spotlight for a chance to reach the NBA Cup final.

Tipoff between the Knicks and Magic is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. ET on Saturday. Fans can stream the game on Amazon Prime Video.
