The Magic advanced to the 2024 NBA Cup knockout stage as the East's wildcard team, having finished the group stage with the highest point differential among all second placers in the conference. However, they were eliminated by the eventual Cup champions Milwaukee Bucks in the quarterfinals.
With a loss to the Houston Rockets on March 10, 2025, the Magic would collect their 36th loss on the season and fail to improve on their win total from their previous season. On April 4, the Magic would be locked in to a play-in berth following the Detroit Pistons' victory over the Toronto Raptors. On April 9, the Magic would clinch the Southeast division for the second straight season following a victory over the defending champion Boston Celtics.
On April 15, the Magic clinched a playoff berth for the second consecutive year after defeating the Atlanta Hawks in the first stage of the play-in tournament, securing the seventh seed. However, they once again lost in the first round, this time to the Celtics in five games.
The Orlando Magic drew an average home attendance of 18,587, the 13th-highest of all NBA teams.[1]

The Magic had one first-round pick and one second-round pick entering the draft.[2][3] For the first time in franchise history, the Magic worked on the NBA draft for two straight days instead of one day like it had been since the franchise first existed back in 1989. On the first night of the draft, the Magic would select the German-Brazilian small forward Tristan da Silva from the University of Colorado. Then, on the second day of the draft, Orlando would select shooting guard Antonio Reeves from the University of Kentucky.
