The Orlando Magic will open their 2013/14 preseason schedule on Wednesday, October 9th with a visit to Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, where they'll host the New Orleans Pelicans, the team announced Tuesday.

Orlando will announce its full preseason schedule at a later date. The Magic are set to begin training camp on October 1st at Amway Center.
