A year of change continues for the Orlando Magic.
Steve Clifford and the Magic have mutually agreed to part ways, the team announced on Saturday.
“We would like to thank Steve for his contributions to the Orlando Magic,” President of Basketball Operations Jeff Weltman said in a statement. “We appreciate the many sacrifices he has made as our head coach and understand the timeline of our new path does not align with his goals as a head coach in our league.”
Clifford, a former Orlando assistant under Stan Van Gundy during the Magic’s glory days, was named Magic coach in May of 2018, bringing stability to an organization that since 2012 had gone from Van Gundy to Jacque Vaughn to Scott Skiles to Frank Vogel.
