We will see what ends up happening with the Greek player: it seems clear that he is going to leave the Milwaukee Bucks
Orlando Magic
Orlando Magic lost Game 7 of the first round of the 2026 NBA Playoffs against the Detroit Pistons. Despite the tough elimination, the franchise's President, Jeff Weltman, has not wanted to overreact regarding changes to the roster. This is what he said after the defeat:
"It was a tough blow. That will define our summer. We know that a large part of our season will be seen through that perspective. What happened? I could point out many things. I think what happened was that we were up 3-1 against the best team in the East and then Franz got injured. That changed the course of the series. When we were healthy, we were one of the top five defensive teams and one of the top ten offensive teams. ... I think we saw some of what we expected to see [against Detroit]. So I don't want to dismantle this based on how it ended and, above all, based on the first half."
