What happened: The annual NBA Mascot Conference handed its top 2026 honor to Orlando's STUFF through a vote of fellow mascots. The result made STUFF a three-time winner after previous awards in 2016 and 2017.
Why it matters: The award is a league peer honor for one of the franchise's most visible off-court figures. It gives the Orlando Magic a light offseason milestone as the club turns toward the 2026-27 season.
By the numbers: STUFF now has three NBA Mascot of the Year awards: 2016, 2017 and 2026.
What to watch: Orlando's next major calendar turn is its preseason ramp into the 2026-27 season.
