2001–02 Orlando Magic season

The 2001–02 NBA season was the 13th season for the Orlando Magic in the National Basketball Association.[1] During the offseason, the Magic signed free agent All-Star center Patrick Ewing to their roster,[2] while re-signing Horace Grant to further strengthen the team's depth. Early into the season, they traded Bo Outlaw to the Phoenix Suns for Jud Buechler. Tracy McGrady continued to emerge as a superstar as he finished fourth in the NBA in scoring with 25.6 points per game, and was selected for the 2002 NBA All-Star Game. However, McGrady would not have much help as Grant Hill's comeback was ended after just 14 games, as he had to get more surgery on his bad ankle. Despite Hill's injury, the Magic made it to the playoffs with a record of 44–38, third in the Atlantic Division. In the first round of the playoffs, they lost in four games to the Charlotte Hornets. Following the season, Ewing, Buechler and Dee Brown all retired, Troy Hudson signed as a free agent with the Minnesota Timberwolves, and Monty Williams signed with the Philadelphia 76ers.
