dailyloe.com – The Orlando Magic’s disappointing season may result in head coach Jamahl Mosley losing his job. This is according to Mike Bianchi of the Orlando Sentinel. The team has performed at a .500 level since November.
Injuries to key players like Franz Wagner derailed the team’s momentum. The Magic also showed a lack of effort in crucial games. Losses to teams like the Hawks hurt their playoff positioning.
Bianchi suggests firing Mosley would be a scapegoat move. It would excuse a team that has disappointed fans. The decision would not be based on Mosley’s coaching ability.
In other Southeast Division news, Wizards forward Kyshawn George is out for the season. Coach Brian Keefe praised George’s significant improvement this year. He called George a great example for the organization.
Keefe stated George made a huge jump in performance. This was due to his hard work during the offseason. The team is excited for his future development.
Meanwhile, Heat forward Nikola Jovic has struggled this season. He signed a four-year rookie scale extension before the year. Expectations were high for him to take a larger role.
The Magic entered Sunday’s game just half a game ahead of Miami. Their preseason expectations were much higher than their current results. The team’s lack of toughness has been a recurring problem.[]
