Magic signing three-point specialist to two-year contract

Free agent swingman Joe Ingles is joining the Orlando Magic on a two-year, $22M contract, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reports..

TNT and Bleacher Report’s Chris Haynes reported earlier (Twitter link) that the two sides were close to an agreement. Similar to the deals Orlando reached with Gary Harris and Mohamed Bamba last offseason, the Magic will hold an option on the second year of Ingles’ contract, Jeff Zillgitt of USA Today tweets. Harris had his 2023-24 salary guaranteed by the Magic earlier in the day.

He’ll add a veteran presence off the bench at the wing positions in Orlando.

Ingles spent last season with the Milwaukee Bucks, seeing action in 46 games off the bench. He averaged 6.9 points, 3.3 assists and 2.8 rebounds in 22.7 minutes and also saw action in five postseason games.

Ingles tore the ACL in his left knee the previous season while playing for the Utah Jazz. Ingles, 35, played regularly for eight seasons in Utah.
