Orlando Magic

1. PASCAL & PAOLO? "Per league sources, the Raptors are still listening, trying to gauge the market value for their leading scorer and leading returning – in theory – playmaker," Sportsnet writes. "Atlanta remains a possibility, Indiana has reached out while Orlando is another team that bears watching."

2. MAGIC STAYS WINLESS IN VEGAS "The Orlando Magic (0-4) swung and missed for a fourth time at the Las Vegas Summer League in a 88-71 blowout loss to the Portland Trail Blazers (3-1)."

3. JETT'S CONFIDENCE "I got the ball a lot, and it gave me confidence," he said. "I came out early striking and just kept it rolling."

4. KNOCKDOWN SHOOTER "The Orlando Magic saw exactly what it drafted in Michigan guard Jett Howard on Wednesday night - a knockdown shooter capable of creating offense in a variety of ways."

5. MAGIC FINAL SUMMER LEAGUE GAME The Orlando Magic is set to play its final game at Las Vegas Summer League on Saturday at 6:30 p.m. EST against the Boston Celtics on NBA TV.
