The Orlando Magic have appointed Sean Sweeney as their new head coach following an agreement reached last week. Sweeney, who has been the associate head coach of the San Antonio Spurs, will remain with the Spurs until the conclusion of the NBA Finals. Magic President of Basketball Operations Jeff Weltman expressed enthusiasm about Sweeney joining the team, highlighting his strong work ethic, competitive nature, and modern coaching style. Sweeney takes over from Jamahl Mosley, who was let go after five seasons marked by three consecutive first-round playoff exits. Known as a defensive guru, Sweeney significantly improved the Spurs' defense during his tenure, particularly through his work with Victor Wembanyama, the recent Defensive Player of the Year. Before his time with the Spurs, Sweeney spent four seasons with the Dallas Mavericks and has also worked with the Detroit Pistons, Milwaukee Bucks, and Brooklyn Nets. His extensive experience and proven track record position him as a promising leader for the Magic as they look to improve their performance in the upcoming seasons.
