The Orlando Magic officially announced they are beginning the process to bring a D-League team to North or Central Florida.
The franchise would be a direct one-to-one affiliate with this proposed team and not the hybrid association the team has with its current D-League affiliate, the Erie Bayhawks.
The Magic are surveying several different locations throughout Florida as potential sites for this new D-League team including CFE Arena at UCF, Silver Spurs Arena in Kissimmee and the HP Fieldhouse at ESPN’s Wide World of Sports complex at Disney. Jacksonville, Daytona, Estero, Fort Myers and Lakeland are the other cities the Magic have made a request for proposal to gauge interest in hosting a new team.
