Orlando Fires Jamahl Mosley As Head Coach
May 4, 2026
Posted 3 hours ago by
The Orlando Magic have fired head coach Jamahl Mosley. Magic president of basketball operations Jeff Weltman will lead the search for a new head coach. Weltman signed an extension this season to continue to run Orlando's front office. Mosley went 189-221 in five regular seasons as the Magic's head coach. He led Orlando to three consecutive playoff berths, but the team never advanced out of the first round.
Some expected the team to move on from Mosley late in the regular season, as the injury-hit Magic underachieved. Mosley rallied the team to win the eighth seed in the Play-In Tournament. Orlando then took a 3-1 lead over the top-seed Detroit Pistons, but lost three straight games to fall in the first round for the third consecutive season.
