The Magic have signed Phillip Wheeler to an Exhibit 10 training camp deal, according to The Stein Line’s Jake Fischer (via Twitter).
Wheeler played five games for the Sixers last season, during which time he averaged 1.6 points and 1.6 rebounds in 8.8 minutes per night. The 6’9″ 23-year-old played 19 games for the Texas Legend G League team and averaged 16.9 points and 5.6 rebounds while shooting 36.2% from three.
Orlando had previously signed four players to Exhibit 10 deals: Justin Minaya, Reece Beekman, Lester Quinones, and Colin Castleton. The Magic currently have one open two-way contract slot, which the five training camp invites will compete for.
If any of the five Magic players are cut ahead of the season and spent at least 60 days with the club’s NBAGL affiliate, the Osceola Magic, they’ll be eligible to earn bonuses worth up to $85,300.
