Zach LaVine's debut with the Sacramento Kings did not go as expected, as the Orlando Magic defeated the Kings 130-111. LaVine scored 13 points in his first game for Sacramento, which fell short of fan expectations. Franz Wagner led the Magic with 31 points, and Paolo Banchero added 23 points, helping the Magic end a four-game losing streak and a seven-game road drought, as reported by The Associated Press.

The Kings' performance lacked cohesion, despite trailing by only two points at halftime. They ultimately lost due to 17 turnovers. LaVine's debut was marked by a shift in team strategy, with his usage rate at 26.3% compared to De'Aaron Fox's 28.1%, as noted by Sports Illustrated.

The Magic's shooting was strong, hitting 56.8% from the field and 51.6% from three-point range. The Kings struggled to defend, particularly against Wagner, who shot 83.3% from beyond the arc.

Domantas Sabonis scored 21 points and grabbed 13 rebounds, while DeMar DeRozan added 19 points. However, the Magic dominated in the third quarter with a 42-23 run, and the Kings were unable to recover.

Both teams are back in action tonight, with the Magic facing Denver and the Kings heading to Portland.
