2022-23 National Basketball Association (NBA)
Regular Season
Orlando Magic v Philadelphia 76ers
Amway Center
Orlando, Florida
Saturday 26 November 2022

The Orlando Magic will look to bewitch the Philadelphia 76ers when the teams meet in a National Basketball Association (NBA) Regular Season game at the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida on the morning of Saturday 26 November 2022. Tip-off is at 00:00.
The Magic have struggled to gain any momentum in the Eastern Conference and find themselves placed in the lower regions of the standings. This past weekend, however, they showed signs of improvement with a 108-107 away win over the Chicago Bulls.
“I haven't hit a game-winner like that in ages, since the win in the tournament [2021 March Madness for Gonzaga],” Jalen Suggs said after a last-gasp three-pointer to seal the victory against the Bulls. “But that's an amazing feeling."

Suggs added, “It’s good to come out here with my guys and just hoop. Everything that happened and didn’t happen last year, forgetting all of it, learning from it, getting better, to come out here this year where I can play with supreme confidence, have fun on the court with my guys. We all can go in the right direction, and I think that’s where we’re heading.”
The 76ers, meanwhile, find themselves in mid-table in the East after an up-and-down season thus far, though Joel Embiid continues to be a beast for Philadelphia. This past weekend he had 32 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists as his short-handed team overcame a 13-point deficit to beat the Milwaukee Bucks 110-102.

“He’s so good right now,” Philadelphia coach Doc Rivers said about Embiid. “Down the stretch the game slowed down so much for him. We told him exactly what we wanted him to do in the last six minutes and he was terrific.”
In head-to-head stats, the Magic and the 76ers have met in 125 Regular Season games since 1989-90. Orlando have claimed 79 wins compared to 46 for Philadelphia.
The teams’ last Regular Season meeting was in March 2022, with the 76ers winning 116-114 in Orlando thanks to 35 points from Joel Embiid. It was an eighth straight win in the rivalry for Philadelphia.
