Orlando Magic forward Noah Penda created one of the strangest moments of the NBA preseason after accidentally blocking his own dunk attempt with his face. Penda raced toward the basket following a steal, but the ball struck him and bounced away as he tried to finish with two hands. The play was later waved off for offensive interference, although Orlando still defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 132-116.
