Rent Computer Hardware You Need, When You Need It

The Orlando Magic have brought back a familiar face for the season’s final stretch.

The Magic signed Devin Cannady to a 10-day contract late Thursday evening from their G League team, the Lakeland Magic, ahead of their Friday home game against the Toronto Raptors.

This will be the second stint in Orlando for Cannady, who’ll wear No. 30 and occupy the Magic’s 15th and final standard roster spot for the duration of his deal.

Jeff Dowtin’s 10-day contract ended Thursday.

The Magic’s season will end with a home matchup against the Miami Heat on April 10.

Cannady signed a 10-day deal with Orlando on April 6, 2021, before signing a two-way contract 10 days later. He averaged 4.3 in 9.3 minutes in eight games before suffering an open fracture of his right ankle against the Indiana Pacers later that month.

He was waived five games later before the season ended later in May.

Cannady averaged 15.8 points on 46.8% shooting on 3-pointers (59 of 126) in 16 games (11 starts) with Lakeland this season.

He scored 29 points (8 of 13 on 3s) in Lakeland’s loss to the College Park Skyhawks on Tuesday.

Cannady played in 13 games (nine starts) with Lakeland last season before joining the Magic, averaging 11.7 points and shooting 40% on 3s.

He recorded 22 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists and was named the G League Final MVP in Lakeland’s 2021 championship-clinching win over the Delaware Blue Coats.

Cannady, who went undrafted out of Princeton in 2019, has averaged 14.1 points on 38.7% shooting from 3 in 66 G League games (46 starts) with the Long Island Nets and Lakeland.

He’s the seventh Lakeland player to be called up to an NBA roster this season along with Dowtin, Admiral Schofield, Hassani Gravett, Aleem Ford, BJ Johnson and Jon Teske.
