Magic Starting 5: Admiral Schofield Returning?

In this story:


1. SCHOFIELD OPTION COMING UP

"The team has until June 29 to decide if it will pick up Schofield's team option worth just under $2 million for the 2023-24 campaign."

2. BILAL COULIBALY TO MAGIC?

"Teams in the late lottery have been considering the 18-year-old who's making an impact for Victor Wembanyama's Mets 92 with his effortless bounce, two-way activity and spot-up shooting. Recent flashes of self-creation have only made Coulibaly look more enticing weeks before the draft."

3. NO. 11 PICK HISTORY

"The Magic could trade the pick, especially considering the fact that the team also holds the No. 6 selection, but if Orlando keeps it, the player will join a legacy of high-achieving No. 11 picks."

4. NBA FINALS GAME 3

After losing Game 2, Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray and the Denver Nuggets look to get revenge on Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo and the Miami Heat while taking back homecourt advantage in Game 3 of the NBA Finals.

Tipoff is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. on ABC.

5. DRAFT COUNTDOWN

The Orlando Magic is 15 days away from the 2023 NBA Draft, where the team will welcome the newest members of the franchise.

Coverage begins on June 22 at 8 p.m. on ESPN.
