2000–01 Orlando Magic season

The 2000–01 NBA season was the 12th season for the Orlando Magic in the National Basketball Association.[1] During the offseason, the Magic acquired Tracy McGrady from the Toronto Raptors, All-Star forward Grant Hill from the Detroit Pistons,[2] and had nearly signed then-free agent Tim Duncan, whom led the San Antonio Spurs to their first championship title the year before. Additionally the Magic also signed free agents Troy Hudson and Dee Brown. However, Hill re-injured his ankle from the previous season after playing just four games, as the Magic struggled losing 11 of their first 16 games in November.[3] Meanwhile, Brown only appeared in just seven games due to a left quadricep tendon. Despite losing both Hill and Brown, the Magic posted a nine-game winning streak in February, and returned to the playoffs after a one-year absence, finishing fourth in the Atlantic Division with a 43–39 record. McGrady, who averaged 26.8 points per game was named Most Improved Player of the Year, and was selected for the 2001 NBA All-Star Game. Top draft pick Mike Miller was named Rookie of the Year averaging 11.9 points per game.
