ORLANDO - The Orlando Magic is taking the floor for one last tune-up before the regular season, welcoming Brazilian club Flamengo to central Florida on Friday night at the Amway Center.

It's the fifth time the Magic has faced off against Flamengo, and the first time since 2018. Jonathan Isaac is the only player still currently on the roster that played Flamenco in its last visit and he's excited for the opportunity to face off against the Brazilian side.

"I just think it's awesome," Isaac said. "You know that I love that the NBA does this and just creates a bigger fan base, more buzz and you meet new people, meet new players. I think it's really cool."

Coach Jamahl Mosley is also excited for the opportunity as his team gears up for the regular season ahead.

"I think it's great," Mosley said. Basketball brings people together. And I think that's just such a great way to prove it. Our locker room has a ton [of different nationalities] and obviously playing different international teams, you see even more of it, which is great.

The Magic is expected to have everyone available for its game against Flamengo with the exception of Kevon Harris, who is dealing with a sore right knee.
