Orlando Magic Tickets Continued
The Orlando Magic officially entered the NBA as an expansion franchise in 1989.
Led by former Philadelphia
76ers general manager Pat Williams, the Magic hired Matt Guokas as the team's
first coach. The inaugural team compiled a record of 18-64 with players including
Reggie Theus, Scott Skiles (now current coach of the Chicago
Bulls), Terry Catledge, Sam Vincent, Otis Smith, and Jerry Reynolds. In
the club's first draft in 1989, the Magic chose Nick Anderson with the 11th
pick in the first round.
The club's first game was on November 4, 1989, at the Orlando Arena (O-Rena).
Despite playing a hard-fought game, the visiting New
Jersey Nets won 111- 106. The Magic's first victory came 2 days later, as
the Magic pounded the New
York Knicks 118- 110.
