The Orlando Magic have fired general manager Rob Hennigan, Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical reports. The team announced the firing shortly after and have named Matt Lloyd the interim general manager.
“We appreciate Rob’s efforts to rebuild the team, but feel we have not made any discernible improvement over the last few years specifically,” Magic CEO Alex Martins told John Denton of OrlandoMagic.com. “It’s time for different leadership in basketball operations. We certainly wish Rob and his family well.”
Hennigan spent five seasons as the team’s general manager trying to rebuild the organization from the ground up following Dwight Howard‘s departure.
