Orlando Magic Summer League 2021 Roster, Dates and Complete Schedule

After a disappointing 2020-21 NBA season in which they lost all of their major stars to enter a rebuild, the Orlando Magic had a successful 2021 NBA draft and will now be looking to add further reinforcements before the start of the new season.

There is little doubt that the fifth overall pick of the 2021 NBA draft in Jalen Suggs is their most exciting rookie addition, although Franz Wagner and Jason Preston are also expected to play a role in the coming season.

Only two of them have been announced as part of the 20-man roster for the 2021 Summer League, which the Orlando Magic will kick off with a tie against the Golden State Warriors on August 8th. They will play a total of four matches and have also included the likes of RJ Hampton and Cole Anthony as part of the roster. In this article, we look at the overall roster and schedule along with where the matches can be streamed for the upcoming 2021 Summer League.

The Summer League will show the first glimpse of the rookie along with giving Franz Wagner a chance to show his worth. Franz is the younger brother of former Magic player Moritz Wagner and is expected to be part of the rotation at the PF position.

Regardless, the coming season should prove exciting considering the young stars that the Magic have, although a playoff charge might be the best they are able to muster. Of course, the Orlando Magic are also said to be looking to add reinforcements via free agency.
