Jamahl Mosley has been fired as coach of the Orlando Magic, paying the widely expected price after the team blew a 3-1 series lead and got eliminated by the Detroit Pistons in Round 1 of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Kevin Durant has been traded to Houston.

Orlando Magic star Paolo Banchero has a torn right oblique, the team said Thursday night after he had further testing in Cleveland.

Coach Jamahl Mosley and the playoff-contending Orlando Magic have agreed on an extension that keeps him under contract through the 2027-28 season.

Paolo Banchero has been insisting for weeks that he believes he’s the best prospect in the NBA draft.

College basketball season ended almost three months ago, the NBA draft lottery was more than a month ago and the draft itself is later this week.

The Orlando Magic won the NBA draft lottery and landed the No. 1 overall pick for the first time since they got Dwight Howard nearly two decades ago.

Steve Clifford will not be back as coach of the Orlando Magic next season.
