Less than one month separates us from the start of the Orlando Magic’s 2022-23 season. For the franchise, this will be its 34th season.
Short of an NBA title, the Magic have accomplished many things throughout their history. We conclude a three-part series by looking back on some franchise firsts.
The final part will focus on the postseason:
First Playoff Appearance: 1993-94
After finishing one win shy of making the playoffs the year prior, the Orlando Magic finally broke through during the 1993-94 season. With a second-year superstar center in Shaquille O’Neal, a standout rookie guard in Anfernee Hardaway and a first-year head coach in Brian Hill, the Magic increased their win total by nine and had their first-ever winning season.
