Not that the player would get in trouble, but curious to know who it was and who would have a relationship with Damon Jones.


Was in 2023 so had to be a recent Magician. I wonder if it could have been Fultz or Harris.

Google says:

The Tip: A co-conspirator in the scheme allegedly used a personal relationship with a regular Orlando Magic starter to learn that multiple top players would sit out a game against the Cleveland Cavaliers in April 2023.
The Bet: That co-conspirator then passed the tip to defendant Marves Fairley, who placed a bet that the Cavaliers would beat the point spread. The Cavaliers won by 24 points, and Fairley and the co-conspirator profited.
Jones's Role: Former NBA player and coach Damon Jones is charged separately for his role in the gambling scandal. Prosecutors allege that Jones shared and sold confidential information on multiple occasions about player availability for Los Angeles Lakers games in February 2023 and January 2024. There is no public record of a connection between Jones and the specific Magic player who provided information to another defendant


My guess was Harris

makes sense......i was kinda confused how he was out so long for like a sprain or something

Don't think it was Harris being out but someone else who was out that Harris or another Magic player informed the mob that was out.

2 games in and my opinion is the same as last year, we are not serious about a damn thing if we think we can do anything with WCJ as our starting center. He is just another body on the floor

This season has started very similar to 2023 for Paolo...

LOL, this guy wrote a whole "told you so" article after one bad game of a player he dislikes, he is probably a regular poster on RealGM.
