Overview
- The Magic, which dismissed Mosley on Monday, said it was time for a new voice and a renewed perspective, according to team president Jeff Weltman.
- Orlando blew a 3–1 lead to top-seeded Detroit and fell in Game 7, with forward Franz Wagner sidelined for the final three games by a right calf injury.
- The slide featured a brutal Game 6 at home, where the Magic lost after leading by 24 in the second half and missing 23 straight shots as boos rained down.
- Mosley was hired in July 2021 and departs with a 189–221 record, three straight playoff berths, and the third-most wins by a coach in franchise history.
- With Paolo Banchero, Wagner, Jalen Suggs, and Desmond Bane under contract, Weltman will lead a coaching search that targets better shooting after Orlando ranked near the bottom of the league from three-point range.
