Recent Season Results for the Magic
After missing the playoffs for three straight seasons, the Magic reached the postseason in 2023-24 after going 47-35. The team lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers in 7 games but the future looks bright with All-Star Paolo Banchero leading the team. He was the 2022-23 Rookie of the Year after being the No. 1 pick. He has quickly developed into a potential superstar.
Orlando had some struggles from 2012-23 as they reached the playoffs just two times during that stretch. This was after the team moved on from Dwight Howard who helped lead the team to the 2009 NBA Finals and the Eastern Conference Finals in 2010.
After joining the NBA as an expansion team in 1989, Orlando was able to reach the NBA Finals in 1995 with the help of Shaquille O’Neal and Anfernee Hardaway. They lost to the Houston Rockets in 4 games. After reaching the Eastern Conference Finals in 1996, the team let Shaq walk in free agency while injuries heavily impacted Hardaway’s career.
Take a look at the season results for the franchise since joining the league in the 1989-90 season.
