Orlando Magic Sign Recent Los Angeles Clippers Player

On Saturday, the Orlando Magic announced the signing of Jay Scrubb. The 22-year-old played in 18 games for the Los Angeles Clippers last season.

The Orlando Magic are one of the youngest teams in the NBA, but they have a lot of talent that could make them an excellent team in the near future.

In the preseason, they are 2-1 after beating the San Antonio Spurs and Dallas Mavericks in consecutive games (their one loss was against the Memphis Grizzlies).

On Saturday, the team announced a series of roster moves that also included the signing of a recent Los Angeles Clippers player (h/t Hoops Rumors).
