Orlando Magic 2025-26 Season Preview & Predictions

Orlando Magic 2025-26 Season Preview & Predictions

The Orlando Magic enter the 2025-26 season with high expectations. Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner headline the core, and the front office made a bold move by trading four first-round picks for Desmond Bane — one of the league’s elite shooters. With Tyus Jones adding veteran stability and rookie Jase Richardson bringing instant scoring punch, Orlando is shifting from “promising” to “contending.”

Last season, the Magic finished 41-41 and bowed out in the first round against Boston. The defense was elite, but a lack of shooting stalled the offense. Bane’s arrival aims to change that, giving Banchero and Wagner the spacing they need to shine.

Projected starting five: Jalen Suggs, Desmond Bane, Franz Wagner, Paolo Banchero, Wendell Carter Jr.
Strengths: elite wings, improved shooting, top-tier defense.
Weaknesses: health concerns, limited draft flexibility, and lack of deep playoff experience.

Prediction: 49-33, with a ceiling of a top-4 seed in the East if everything clicks. The Magic are betting big — will it finally pay off?
