Sign up | | Magic overwhelmed by Thunder | Dr. Phillips' Wells steps down | UCF fined for court-storming | | | | With the NBA trade deadline set for 3 p.m. Thursday, the Magic return home from Oklahoma City to face the Nets at Kia Center that evening. | | | | | After 15 seasons as head coach and 24 years as a football coach at Dr. Phillips High, Rodney Wells has decided to resign from his position. He will remain in his administrative role. | | | | | Fans rushed the floor at Addition Financial Arena during the team's 88-80 win over the then-No. 11 team. | | | | | The Magic could look different the next time they step on the Kia Center after facing the Thunder on the road Tuesday night. The NBA trade deadline is Thursday afternoon. | | | | | This would be the seventh meeting between the two in-state programs, but the first since 2017. | | | | | Talented players like Aaron Hardy of Boone or Sabby Meassick of Tohopekaliga are now afterthoughts in recruiting, in large part due to the NCAA transfer portal, where coaches can pick seasoned players over high school seniors. | | | | | But league head Rob Manfred says, "There are alternatives in Florida" if latest stadium plan falls short, a seeming reference to Orlando as a possible home for the team. | | | | | I'd draft a CB in the first round and make that a position of strength. Then you go edge rusher, OL and DT with an eye on the QB position the entire time. | | | | | Last month's Orange Bowl, held at Hard Rock Stadium, was a Jan. 1 CFP quarterfinal between Oregon and Texas Tech. Just 18 days later, Indiana defeated Miami at Hard Rock Stadium in the CFP National Championship game. | | | |
