Orlando Magic sign guard Malaki Branham ahead of training camp

Summary

The Orlando Magic have agreed to terms with 23-year-old free agent guard Malaki Branham on an Exhibit 10 deal ahead of upcoming training camp. Branham, selected 20th in the 2022 NBA Draft, averaged 8.0 points over four seasons with the San Antonio Spurs and Washington Wizards. The deal allows him to compete for a standard roster spot but he is ineligible for a two-way contract due to his experience. Should he be waived, he can be assigned to the Magic's G League affiliate, the Osceola Magic, where he could earn a performance bonus if he stays for 60 days. Branham previously showed promise during his rookie season with the Spurs and has played in the G League to boost his performance.
