    Magic Report Cards: Wendell Carter Jr. Navigates Ups & Downs

    As one of the few players to be around for the entirety of coach Jamahl Mosley's tenure, Carter has been viewed as a major building block for the team's foundation. "It was tough," Carter said about the season.

    Magic Center Goga Bitadze 'More Than Happy' to Return Next Season

    With the story of the Orlando Magic's 2023-24 season said and done, few players had a more underrated impact on their success than center Goga Bitadze. When Wendell Carter Jr. suffered a fractured hand and was out for 20 games, Bitadze stepped into the starting lineup and Orlando didn't skip a beat, going 13-7, including a nine-game winning streak. Bitadze also had a stretch where he started 11 of 12 games with Carter Jr. battling a knee injury, but he played sparingly for the rest of the season, as he didn't surpass 10 minutes in any of the Magic's final 17 games of the regular season. In total, Bitadze appeared in 62 games and started 33 for Orlando.
