Report: Orlando Magic extend contracts of Jeff Weltman, John Hammond

The WeltHam Era will continue in Orlando.

Magic president of basketball operations Jeff Weltman and general manager John Hammond have had their contracts extended by the team through the 2025-2026 season, according to Adrian Wojnarowski.

CEO Alex Martins and Weltman negotiated deals, sources said. Ownership is pleased with the direction of team’s rebuild, including the hiring of coach Jamhal Mosley and drafting of first-round picks Franz Wagner, Jalen Suggs and Cole Anthony.

The extensions come at a time when the Magic have the worst record in basketball at 7-34, though it’s an unfair representation of WeltHam’s full body of work in Orlando given the rebuild and the extensive injuries.
