The Orlando Magic are believed to be looking for a candidate with prior head coaching experience with Kenny Atkinson and Terry Stotts likely the favorites. 

Atkinson "has been the loudest name mentioned for Orlando's open post," writes Jake Fischer at Bleacher Report. Atkinson is currently working as an assistant coach with the Los Angeles Clippers.

Stotts is a coaching free agent after he was let go by the Portland Trail Blazers. 

The Magic parted ways with Steve Clifford this offseason.

Penny Hardaway has emerged as a "serious candidate" for the Orlando Magic's vacant head coach role, sources told Shams Charania of The Athletic.

The Orlando Magic and Washington Wizards have requested permission to interview Dallas Mavericks assistant Jamahl Mosley for their head coach openings, sources told Marc Stein of The New York Times.

Mosley is expected to leave the Mavs after not receiving the consideration he anticipated for the Mavs head coaching role. 

Willie Green, Charles Lee and Ime Udoka have emerged as candidates for the head coaching job of the Orlando Magic.

Green is currently an assistant coach with the Phoenix Suns and has five total years of coaching experience. Green went from the Golden State Warriors to the Suns in 2019.

Lee is in his seventh season as an assistant coach and has worked under Mike Budenholzer with both the Atlanta Hawks and Milwaukee Bucks.

Unseld has interviewed for head coaching jobs multiple times in the past.
