For every home Orlando Magic playoff game, Paul Porter has been behind the mic as the team’s public address announcer.
That won’t be the case this season (assuming the Magic hold on to a playoff spot).
While PA announcers are primarily for the benefit of fans in attendance, the NBA is planning to utilize them during the season’s restart at Disney World, likely to provide some background noise that will break the eerie empty-arena silence on television broadcasts.
Porter, despite being the local announcer, told Orlando Pinstriped Post that the NBA will not be using him for PA announcing during the restart.
