Anthony Black will enter the season without an extension, leaving the Magic with a contract decision that could get more expensive if he takes another step.
Anthony Black and Scoot Henderson are both entering contract years after the Orlando Magic and Portland Trail Blazers declined to reach rookie-scale extensions before Monday's deadline. Black averaged 15.0 points last season, but Orlando was reportedly hesitant to match a $22 million annual average salary.
