In this episode of The Close Up, part of Orlando Magic HQ, Stephen Cameron is joined by Orlando Sentinel Magic beat writer Jason Beede for an in-depth conversation on where the Orlando Magic stand at a critical point in the season.
The show begins with a temperature check on the Magic’s year so far before diving into injury updates on Jalen Suggs, Moe Wagner, and Franz Wagner, and how their absences and workloads have impacted lineup continuity and identity. Jason shares insight from covering the team daily and what he’s seeing behind the scenes.
The conversation shifts to the NBA Cup aftermath, breaking down what the tournament revealed about the Magic, the benefits of high-stakes games for a young roster, and how those lessons translate into the regular season.
The episode wraps with a full preview of the Magic’s West Coast road trip, including matchups against Denver, Utah, Golden State, and Portland, and what success realistically looks like during a challenging stretch away from home.
