The Orlando Magic are preparing to resume the playoffs after a multi-day protest and continuing their work addressing racial inequality in Central Florida.
The Magic were scheduled to meet with Orange County Sheriff John Mina via Zoom Friday afternoon to discuss policing in the community, according to a team official.
The meeting comes amid protests and outrage in Central Florida after Orange County sheriff’s deputies shot and killed Salaythis Melvin.
Deputies sought to arrest Vanshawn Sands on an outstanding warrant by swarming a parking lot at the Florida Mall on Aug. 7 as Sands and three friends exited Dick’s Sporting Goods.
