Report: Magic to waive Khem Birch

The Orlando Magic youth movement continues with the end of the Khem Birch era.

The backup center has long been in a complicated position as the Magic’s backup center: a productive, hustling, high-energy, true professional and favorite of Steve Clifford’s, but also a blockade between Mo Bamba and more playing time.

That no longer will be the case with the Magic reportedly set to waive Birch...

The Orlando Magic are planning to waive center Khem Birch in order to give him an opportunity to play more, with the Toronto Raptors as his likely landing spot, sources tell @ShamsCharania and me.
