Orlando had until this Saturday to activate, or not, the “team option” of his veteran Joe Ingles And ESPN reports that the Florida franchise has chosen not to guarantee him the $11 million he was supposed to earn next season.
However, we should not expect the Australian to change teams, since the Magic should quickly offer him a new contract at the opening of the free agency. Probably less expensive and over more than a year.
At 36, Joe Ingles is not considering retiring or returning home, but rather signing up for an 11th season in the league. Particularly appreciated in the Florida locker room, with his good humor and professionalism, the winger is coming off a 2023–24 season with 4.4 points, 3.0 assists and 2.1 rebounds on average off the bench.
Used sparingly by Jamahl Mosley (17 minutes of playing time, over 68 matches), “Slow Mo Joe” nonetheless remains a part of the Orlando rotation and his experience is valuable to the young players of the effective. This was seen in the playoffs, despite the Magic being eliminated in the first round.
