The Orlando Magic made significant strides during the NBA free agency, notably acquiring shooting guard Desmond Bane from the Memphis Grizzlies, marking a pivotal upgrade from Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. Additionally, they signed Tyus Jones to a one-year contract, bolstering their backcourt after trading Cole Anthony. Star forward Paolo Banchero secured a five-year extension, while Moe Wagner was also re-signed. This revamped roster is poised to elevate the Magic's competitiveness as they aim for a deeper playoff run.

Despite a recent Summer League loss to the Brooklyn Nets, Jalen Suggs remains optimistic about the team's potential. He stated, “The sky’s the limit,” highlighting a shared championship mindset among the players. Following a playoff appearance last season, the Magic are gearing up for an exciting season, particularly with Suggs returning from injury. Last season, he averaged 16.2 points per game over 35 appearances, indicating his crucial role in Orlando's success.
