The Orlando Magic made a big move over the weekend when they traded for Desmond Bane, and they are ready to see how it’ll pay off.
The team is excited about what Bane might bring, and they want to show him off.
That is why they posted pictures of him in his brand-new uniform on X, giving fans a chance to see the newest face of the franchise.

Last season, Bane put up 19.2 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 5.3 assists for the Memphis Grizzlies.
More importantly, he shot 48.4 percent from the field and 39.2 percent from beyond the three-point line.
That is vital for the Magic because their shooting was off last year, and their three-point performances were even worse.
With Bane, the Magic could actually fight into contention in the East and be seen as fearful opponents again.
However, some people aren’t sure if Bane will be worth it.
They’re also not sure if the Magic spent the right amount to get him.
They gave up a lot in order to acquire Bane, and that means they will be limited in their other offseason choices this summer.
In other words, it’s very likely that this was the Magic’s last big trade for some time, so it needs to deliver.
Bane looks happy in his new jersey and has said that he’s excited to be in Orlando.
Will he be saying the same thing a year from now?
A lot is riding on next season for Bane and the Magic.
They are thrilled to get started, but that thrill may diminish if things don’t go well.
