The Orlando Magic have agreed to
a multi-year extension with head coach Jamahl Mosely, the team
announced today. The extension is for four years, according to
ESPN’s Adrian
Wojnarowski.
Additional details were not
disclosed, but this deal will take Mosley through the 2027-28
season.
Mosley, who has been Orlando’s
head coach for three seasons, has led the franchise’s steady
rebuild around young stars Paolo Banchero and Franz
Wagner.
Mosley created a strong culture
in Orlando and turned the Magic into one of the best defensive
teams in the league, ranking fourth in defensive efficiency so far
this season.
The Magic have been a pleasant
surprise this season, as they are currently the fifth seed in the
Eastern Conference with a 37-28 record (just a half-game back of
the No. 4 seed).
“Jamahl and his staff have done
a tremendous job not only this season, but since we hired him back
in 2021,” Magic president of basketball operations Jeff Weltman
said in a statement. “His preparation, work ethic, ability to
connect with the players and passion he brings to the job every day
brings positive results, both on the court and off. We are very
happy to have Jamahl lead the Magic for years to come.”
