The Orlando Magic agreed to a contract extension with Jamahl Mosley on Tuesday, keeping the head coach that has turned the franchise around in the fold through the 2027-28 season.
Mosley was named head coach of the Magic in July 2021 after spending time as an assistant with the Denver Nuggets, Cleveland Cavaliers and Dallas Mavericks.
Orlando went 22-60 in his first season in charge in 2021-22 and wound up winning the NBA Draft Lottery.
The Magic used the No. 1 overall pick in 2022 on Paolo Banchero, who went on to win the NBA Rookie of the Year Award last season as Orlando finished 34-48 and missed the playoffs for the third straight year.
This season, the Magic are 37-28 and currently lead the Southeast Division by 1.5 games over the Miami Heat.
Orlando’s .569 winning percentage is its highest since posting a 52-30 record (.634) in 2010-11.
