Magic vs. Grizzlies - News - October 07, 2026 | FOX Sports

Taylor Hendricks - Posts 12 points in loss Hendricks supplied 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt), two rebounds, an assist and a blocked shot in 11 minutes during Wednesday's 122-118 preseason loss to the Magic.

Impact Hendricks gave Memphis an efficient boost off the bench, but his rebound totals paled in comparison to his reseason debut. After averaging 10.6 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 26 games with Memphis last season, he's projected to play second fiddle to Cameron Boozer at the four spot.

Cameron Boozer - Posts diverse line in loss Boozer registered 16 points (4-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds and two assists across 22 minutes in Wednesday's 122-118 preseason loss to the Magic.

Impact The No. 3 overall pick in the 2026 NBA draft possesses a superb all-around game that should earn him a spot in Memphis' starting lineup immediately. That kind of exposure should put him squarely in the Rookie of the Year conversation as the season gets underway.

GG Jackson - Logs 15 points from bench Jackson posted 15 points (5-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and a steal across 14 minutes during Wednesday's 122-118 preseason loss to the Magic.

Impact Jackson followed up a strong preseason debut with another strong scoring night and also contributed on the glass. He's in the final year of his contract and fighting for minutes in a crowded wing rotation that added Jerami Grant in the offseason, so continuing his steady preseason work is his best chance to move up the depth chart.

Paolo Banchero - Posts strong line in 15 minutes Banchero supplied 11 points (2-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 7-10 FT), one rebound and five assists across 15 minutes in Wednesday's 122-118 preseason win over the Grizzlies.

Impact Banchero struggled from the field but got to the line 10 times and repeatedly set up Wendell Carter and Desmond Bane while playing only two quarters. The offense ran primarily through Franz Wagner, with Banchero often working off the ball, a scheme that could ultimately help the Duke product's bottom line after logging a regression in his scoring average last season.

Wendell Carter Jr. - All-around effort in victory Carter logged 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists in 15 minutes during Wednesday's 122-118 preseason win over the Grizzlies.

Impact Carter was Orlando's full-time starting center last season, averaging 11.8 points and 7.4 rebounds, but his outlook is complicated by Nikola Vucevic's return to Orlando. His starting role isn't currently in jeopardy, but the situation is worth monitoring.

Jamal Cain - Supplies 15 points in win Cain posted 15 points (6-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt), two rebounds and an assist across 22 minutes in Wednesday's 122-118 preseason win over the Grizzlies.

Impact Cain made a strong first impression with a great total off the bench. After spending most of last season on a two-way deal before converting to a standard contract in March, he's using the preseason to earn a spot in the regular rotation.
