The Orlando Magic will be in Las Vegas, Nevada, for the NBA Summer League, fielding a 20-man squad that blends recent draft selections with seasoned veterans. The league roster was released last week and will be guided by new assistant coach D.J. Bakker, who will serve as head coach for the Summer League team.

Leading the group are second-year guard Jase Richardson, second-year forward Noah Penda and rookie forward Izaiyah Nelson, the player the Magic drafted No. 51 overall in last month’s draft. All three are expected to receive significant minutes as the organization evaluates their development and fit within the broader Magic system.

The most experienced name on the roster is forward Cam Reddish, who turns 27 in September. The former No. 10 overall pick in the 2019 draft has logged 254 NBA games with four franchises, the Atlanta Hawks, Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks and Portland Trail Blazers, and made his most recent NBA appearance in March 2025 with the Lakers. Last season Reddish split his time between the G-League San Diego Clippers and Lithuania’s Siūliai, appearing in nine games for each club. In those G-League outings he averaged 9.7 points while shooting 50.8 percent from the field, 40.6 percent from three-point range and 75.0 percent from the free-throw line.

Reddish’s presence adds a veteran layer to a roster that otherwise leans heavily on young talent. For a player who has already tasted the NBA and is now looking for a final opportunity to re-enter the league, the Summer League stage offers a chance to showcase his scoring ability and defensive versatility in front of Magic decision-makers. A solid performance could translate into a training-camp invite or an Exhibit 10 contract that funnels him to the Osceola Magic, the organization’s G-League affiliate.

For Richardson, Penda and Nelson, the next two weeks will be a proving ground. The Magic will be watching how the second-year players translate their collegiate and early-pro experience into consistent production against professional competition, while Nelson’s raw rebounding and shot-blocking instincts will be measured against the physicality of the league. Their ability to adapt and contribute will shape their immediate futures, whether that means a spot on the main roster, extended time with the G-League team, or a continued developmental path within Orlando’s system.
