The Orlando Magic has at least 20 players set to earn between $559,000 to $17.4 million in the 2023-2024 basketball season, according to data from Hoops Hype and Spotrac, two websites following player contracts.

The biggest earner on the team heading into the new season is Magic Forward Jonathan Isaac, who is raking in more than $17.4 million this year. Close behind him is Markelle Fultz, the Magic’s guard, with a salary of $17 million. Isaac started no games last year due to missing most of the season with an injury.
