The Magic get physically beat up in Philly and no other Magic player could offensively support a fantastic Desmond Bane. Franz Wagner hurt his left leg again. Orlando loses, 76ers claim the 7th seed in the playoffs. We now host the Hornets Friday night in a do-or-die game at Kia Center. Winner claims the 8th seed and goes to Detroit for a playoff series. Loser goes on vacation for the offseason.

All of that and more!

The most disappointing regular season in Orlando Magic franchise history is over, and man did we go out with a bang: a loss in Boston to the Celtics’ third-stringers. We conclude the regular season campaign 45-37 and fall to the 8th seed in the East. Next up: A Wednesday night play-in road game in Philadelphia. Desmond Bane plays and starts all 82 games of the regular season for the first time in franchise history since Dwight Howard did it In the 2009-2010 campaign.

I said it in September and I still mean it now: There is no East team that the Magic should fear. The only team in the East that will beat us is ourselves. And we’ve done a lot of that due to: Injuries, point guard and center inconsistencies, dead contracts, an inactive front office, and bad coaching. Plenty of damage has been self-inflicted and we’ve paid for it by falling well short of the 57-win mark. Orlando is 44-36. We’ve won 4 straight. 6 our last 8 games. We’ve got two road games left this regular season. No matter what happens from here, we need a new front office and coaching staff in the offseason. But our overall roster has enough talent and healthy bodies that the players can go on a run if they desire it. Just got to come together and prove it.

No, no one has been fired yet. The Magic are 39-35. We’re looking at the 8th, 9th, or 10th play-in seed with 8 games remaining in this nightmare campaign. Orlando just racked up some awful historical records in their latest 52-point loss in Toronto from a franchise and NBA level. We deserve to be laughed at by the entire league. This if the worst season in Magic history when factoring in expectations. 2004, 2011, don’t hold a candle to this 2026 season. The franchise decision makers need to go into salvage mode, because we need major changes across the board to turn our long-term future around. It goes beyond just this season now, the urgency from up top has to rise.

To follow up their 7-game win streak, the Magic just endured a brutal 0-4 week. At 38-32, Orlando is as close to the East’s 10th seed as the 5th seed. And there’s still no Franz Wagner or Anthony Black in sight.

We’re witnessing another good reminder about how much can change during a lengthy 82-game season: Despite all of the injuries, Orlando is currently 38-28, on a 7-game win streak (their longest since November 2023), and owners of the East’s fifth seed in the very crowded standings race. There is no schedule relief in sight as the Magic are accomplishing all of this without the likes of Franz Wagner and Anthony Black. And we’re 2 games back 4th seeded Cleveland.

As tumultuous of a season that it’s been, don’t look now but the Magic are 35-28 and have won ten of their last fourteen games. Orlando is the 6th seed again, still navigating injuries and waiting on a Franz Wagner update, but the squad are displaying a pulse.

The 31-26 Magic showed some fight finally without Franz Wagner and Jalen Suggs, going 3-1 on their West trip. Orlando did it the hard way, but the stage is set for a crucial 4-game homestand. Franz Wagner being out indefinitely is obviously a huge concern. Jevon Carter is bringing energy.

I’m seeing some apathetic energy from Magic players. Seeing apathy from Magic fans as a result. And I can’t blame folks for feeling that way. Jamahl Mosley and Jeff Weltman still have their jobs. We’re 28-25 with no signs of the rest of the season improving. Jase Richardson had a painful All-Star weekend dunk contest performance that is fully representative of this 2025-2026 Magic season. Also, FanDuel Sports Network is dead and Magic games will be on a different broadcast plan next season.
