The move
Kevin Knox II is on the Orlando Magic roster, detected Thursday, Sep. 24, from the team's official roster listing. The 27-year-old forward, entering his seventh NBA season, joins from free agency, where he had no prior roster. No report preceded the move; it was picked up directly from the roster, with no source or confidence level logged ahead of the addition.
The money
Knox's contract is not on file yet; public salary data can lag a signing by a day. The Magic carry a payroll of $223.3 million across 16 contracts for 2026-27, over the second apron. That sits above the $165.0 million salary cap, the $200.4 million tax line, the $209.0 million first apron and the $221.7 million second apron. Any cap figure for Knox will be added once his contract is on file.
The fit
Knox has no NBA line from last season. He joins an Orlando frontcourt led by Paolo Banchero, who logged 34.7 minutes and 22.2 points a game last season, and Franz Wagner, at 30.0 minutes and 20.6 points. Tristan da Silva played 24.7 minutes and scored 9.9 points at forward. Orlando's roster now stands at 24 players, against a standard limit of 15 plus three two-way spots.
