Magic decline options for Gary Harris, Cory Joseph
Michael Scotto: Just In: The Orlando Magic have declined team options for Gary Harris ($7.5 million) and Cory Joseph ($3.47 million) for the 2025-26 season as part of the Desmond Bane trade, league sources told @hoopshype .
Mason Williams: Paolo Banchero on what he learned about how having a point guard like Cory Joseph in the starting 5 at the end of the season benefited him and the #Magic's offense: "I think having a ball-handler out there at the guard position can help me a lot, can help Franz a lot. Cory did a good job of stepping in, being himself, doing all the little things that mattered to winning, and I definitely think it helped us. I think it was a good change ... he came in and took a little bit off of me and Franz, played a little bit with the ball-handling and stuff like that, which did make our lives a little easier."
With two days in between games, Orlando watched film from its 17-point loss, got up some shots and focused on making adjustments ahead of Wednesday’s Game 2. “A better understanding of how we want to execute,” Magic point guard Cory Joseph said when asked what he thinks the team got out of the practice session. “We have a game under our belt to feel out the series. We know the next game is important so we’ve got to come prepared.”

Jason Beede: #Magic guard Cory Joseph told reporters rookie Tristan da Silva is “going to be an amazing player for years to come.” “He plays like a veteran with all of the experience in the world, but this is his first year,” Joseph said after da Silva’s career-high 25 points at Toronto. #NBASky
In addition to bringing back centers Moe Wagner and Goga Bitadze along with shooting guard Gary Harris, the club extended forwards Franz Wagner and Jonathan Isaac, and signed free agents Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Cory Joseph. “They did a great job,” Banchero said of the Magic’s offseason moves. “Keeping most of the guys together. Bringing everybody back, for the most part. And adding veteran leadership and guys that are going to come in and help right away. KCP and Cory, those two guys, being around them as much as I have now, I think they’re going to help tremendously on and off the floor.”
The Orlando Magic have signed free agent guard Cory Joseph, President of Basketball Operations Jeff Weltman announced today.
