Game Snapshot
- Matchup: Memphis Grizzlies @ Orlando Magic
- Date & Time: January 15, 2026, 7:00 PM ET
- Venue: Uber Arena, Berlin, Germany
- Broadcast: Prime Video
Key Storylines
- The Grizzlies are battling significant injury issues, with star guard Ja Morant out due to a calf contusion. Multiple rotation players (Ty Jerome, Scotty Pippen Jr., Zach Edey, and Brandon Clarke) are also sidelined, thinning Memphis’s rotation considerably. That and international travel will serve as significant obstacles for the Grizzlies to overcome against Orlando.
- Memphis’ recent games without Morant have shown that players like Jaren Jackson Jr., Santi Aldama, Cam Spencer, and Cedric Coward need to shoulder heavy workloads. The question is whether or not they can do that against an Orlando team that is very good on defense and has the depth to make life difficult on Memphis for 48 minutes.
- For Orlando, Paolo Banchero is leading the way, averaging around 21.7 points over his last 10 outings and standing as the team’s principal offensive threat. The Magic appear healthier overall compared to Memphis, and the possible return of Franz Wagner could add a boost to Orlando’s scoring and two-way play.
- This game represents the first regular-season NBA contest played in Berlin, creating an added emotional incentive for the Magic with local ties due to several German players on their roster. Moritz Wagner and Franz Wagner have both had success in international tournaments with Germany and will try to lead their team to a victory in this contest as well.
