ORLANDO, Fla. — Hurricane Milton has forced an adjustment to the Magic‘s preseason schedule.

The NBA on Wednesday announced that Friday’s exhibition between Orlando the New Orleans Pelicans at Kia Center has been canceled because of the approaching storm.

The game will not be rescheduled, the league said.

Single-game ticket purchasers will receive a refund from their original point of purchase, the Magic said. Ticket-plan holders will receive communication on their accounts, as applicable, according to the team.

“We appreciate your understanding and flexibility while we work through this together,” the Magic said in a statement.

Hurricane Milton is expected to make landfall Wednesday night as a major storm and make its way across the state into the Atlantic Ocean by late Thursday.

The Magic opened exhibition action earlier this week with a two-point loss to the Pelicans in New Orleans. Jamahl Mosley’s squad is on the road in San Antonio where it’s set to face the Spurs Wednesday (8, NBA League Pass.)

Orlando will wrap up preseason at home vs. the 76ers next Friday.

The Magic open the regular season in Miami on Oct. 23 before hosting the Nets at Kia Center two nights later.
