What happened: The Orlando Magic have dismissed head coach Jamahl Mosley after five seasons, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania. Mosley's tenure ends following Orlando's first-round playoff elimination, the third consecutive season the team has been bounced in the opening round. The team has not yet named an interim or permanent replacement.

Why it matters: Mosley guided Orlando through a rebuild into back-to-back playoff appearances, but the front office signaled that early postseason exits no longer meet expectations for a roster built around Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner. The move resets the coaching market and adds Orlando to the list of teams searching for a new bench leader heading into the offseason. It also raises questions about roster direction and the timeline for a young core that was expected to take a step forward this year.

What to watch: Watch for Orlando's coaching search shortlist and whether the front office targets an experienced playoff coach or a first-time hire. Any reaction from core players Banchero and Wagner will also shape the next move.
