Overview

  • Orlando agreed to a non-guaranteed Exhibit 10 contract with free agent guard Lester Quinones, according to multiple reports.
  • The deal positions him to compete for a standard roster spot or a two-way, with first-apron constraints limiting room for a 15th guaranteed contract.
  • Under league rules, an Exhibit 10 can be converted to a two-way through October 20.
  • The Magic currently have one open two-way slot, with Orlando Robinson and Jamal Cain already in those spots.
  • Quinones has appeared in 54 NBA games since going undrafted in 2022 and posted 21.6 points, 6.8 rebounds and 4.9 assists across 41 G League games last season after stints with the 76ers and Pelicans; if waived, he could join Lakeland and earn up to an $85,300 Exhibit 10 bonus if the affiliate acquires his returning rights.
