Magic's Serge Ibaka: To make Magic debut Wednesday

Ibaka (knee) will make his preseason debut Wednesday against the Spurs, Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Analysis:

A sore knee has plagued Ibaka through the first two weeks of training camp, but he's since resumed practicing in full and will play "a lot" Wednesday, according to coach Frank Vogel. While it's unclear what exact minutes count Ibaka will receive, Vogel's statement would seem to suggest that the power forward could be in line for close to a full workload. That might be enough to make Ibaka a strong play in daily games, though there's a bit of an inherent risk with using him since it will be his first game with his new teammates.
