Swish and the Lakeland Magic Return

The Lakeland Magic, the NBA G-League developmental affiliate of NBA’s Orlando Magic, return for a brand new season of basketball with their home opener on Friday, November 5th.

The Lakeland Magic are returning this season as G-League champions of the 2020-2021 season, after defeating the Delaware Blue Coats at the end of last season. In May of last year, Mayor Bill Mutz officially recognized March 11, the day the Magic won the league title as Lakeland Magic 2021 NBA G-League Champions Day.

In addition, the Lakeland Magic will begin the season with new head coach Joe Barrer, officially announced in August of this year. Barrer is only the second head coach in franchise history after spending the last four seasons with the Lakeland Magic as an assistant coach with the team.

Last year, the Lakeland Magic offered multiple themed nights for fans to come out and enjoy during the season. Some of the themes included were “Home for the Holidays”, “Hoops for a Cure”, “Faith and Family Night,” and “Black History Celebration”. This year, as returning champions, fans can expect multiple giveaways and themed nights during the 2021-2022 season.
