After playoff appearances in 2019 and 2020, the Magic are back in the NBA Draft Lottery after going 21-51 this season. Ping-Pong balls will determine when and how often they’ll pick in next month’s draft, and you can bet fans are on pins and needles awaiting the lottery outcome.
The last time the Magic were part of the lottery process, they received the No. 6 pick and selected Mo Bamba in 2018.
The last time the Magic were coming off a 21-win season, they won the lottery and subsequently drafted Dwight Howard No. 1 overall in 2004.
