The Orlando Magic have fired head coach Jamahl Mosley following their playoff exit at the hands of the Detroit Pistons.Orlando reached the playoffs via the play-in tournament and then led the Pistons, the one seed in the NBAs Eastern Conference 3-1 after Game 4.But the Pistons squared the series by surviving two eliminations games before winning the decisive Game 7 emphatically, a 116-94 triumph ending Orlandos season and, ultimately, Mosleys time in charge. Mosley was hired as head coach in 2021, with this playoff campaign marking a third in as many seasons under his leadership.But each of those campaigns ended in the first round, and the collapse against Detroit convinced President of Basketball Operations Jeff Weltman that a change was needed.Were grateful to Jamahl for all hes done for the Orlando Magic, said Weltman in a news release.We appreciate his leadership and the positive contributions he made as head coach. While this was a difficult decision, we feel its time for a new voice and fresh perspective. We wish Jamahl and his family nothing but the best.
