Orlando Magic

East Southeast · 2026–27 season

The story so far

Magic fans opened the season snake-bitten, cursing injuries to Paolo and Suggs while finding hope in Anthony Black's return and Franz closing at MSG. A blowout in Toronto turned their anger on Jeff Weltman and ownership, though Sweeney's adjustments leave them anxious but cautiously hopeful at 2-4.

  • Fans braced for 'better without Paolo' takes after the Knicks win, then mocked that crowd as losses piled up, calling last year's 9-2 run without him a fluke.

    “Paolo was very good and efficient, looks back to his best. Maybe people will stop comparing him to guys that are clearly a level below him (that bum Jalen Johnson). Hopefully he doesn’t get too frustrated by some of the bums around him (Suggs). 3-point shooting is still an issue (outside of some streaks here and there), which isn’t a surprise. The team just isn’t well-constructed, and we should’ve replaced the FO that is responsible when we replaced the coach.”
