TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Orlando Magic coach Stan Van Gundy says his team’s preseason game against the Miami Heat will not be played.

The Magic couldn’t hold a shootaround practice because of the wet conditions Friday morning, prompting Van Gundy and guard Vince Carter to question the safety of the court that was installed over an NHL ice surface.

The Heat say the NBA has not formally canceled the game yet.
