Orlando Magic On SI projects Jalen Suggs, Desmond Bane, Franz Wagner, Paolo Banchero and Wendell Carter Jr. as its 2026-27 starters ahead of camp. Nikola Vucevic has returned and is expected to be the backup center; Orlando has a new head coach.
Orlando fell short in Game 7 against top-seeded Detroit last season. Bane started all 82 games and led the team in three-point percentage; Wagner played a career-low 34 games because of injuries, and Suggs began the season recovering from an injury. The article says Banchero and Bane took time to find a fit.
