Overview
- Orlando dismissed Jamahl Mosley on Monday, less than a day after a Game 7 loss that ended a first-round series the Magic once led 3–1.
- Team president Jeff Weltman thanked Mosley and said the franchise wants a new voice and fresh perspective, and he will lead the coaching search.
- Mosley finished 189–221 over five seasons with three straight playoff appearances but no series wins, and he remains under an extension signed in March 2024.
- The collapse featured Friday's Game 6 in Orlando with only 19 second-half points and a run of 23 straight missed shots, compounded by Franz Wagner missing the final three games.
- Expectations had risen after the 2025 trade for Desmond Bane that cost multiple first-round picks, and early candidate chatter centers on Billy Donovan and other veteran or college coaches.
