Classic contractual operation at the Magic. The Florida franchise announced have activated the options on the third year of the contract Paolo Banchero and the fourth years of Franz Wagner And Jalen Suggs. In summary, the three young talents are linked to the club until the end of the 2024/25 season.
The first two, who are due to earn $12 million and $8 million respectively next season, were the team’s leading scorers last season. Building on their successful experience with the national team this summer at the World Cup, they are a little more expected this season to continue to pull the Magic to the top.
The third man in the group, who must be paid $9 million next season, has generated many more doubts. In his second NBA season, Jalen Suggs lost his starting spot and regressed slightly statistically.
The 5th choice of the 2021 Draft, who experienced stints in the infirmary, is struggling to find his place on the back lines (Markelle Fultz, Cole Anthony, Gary Harris, etc.), even if Terrence Ross left during the season.
