Overview

  • On August 10, Anthony and his 50 Ways Foundation hosted a back-to-school event at the Smith Center to thank Orlando fans one last time.
  • The former 15th overall pick was traded to Memphis in mid-June before agreeing to a buyout and signing a one-year veteran’s minimum deal with the Milwaukee Bucks in July.
  • Anthony said facing the Magic at least three times this season will be “bittersweet” after five years in Orlando.
  • During his tenure with Orlando, he earned the Magic’s Rich & Helen DeVos Community Enrichment Award and an NBA Cares Bob Lanier Community Assist Award.
  • He joins a Bucks roster led by two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo as the team seeks to break its streak of first-round playoff exits.
