ORLANDO – The Orlando Magic have assigned guard C.J. Wilcox to the Erie BayHawks of the NBA Development League, General Manager Rob Hennigan announced today.
Wilcox (6’5”, 195, 12/30/90) has played in 15 games this season with the Magic, averaging 0.9 ppg. in 5.0 minpg. This will be his second assignment to Erie. He was previously assigned on December 15. Wilcox has played in two games (one start) with the BayHawks, averaging 10.0 ppg., 2.5 rpg., 2.5 apg., 1.50 blkpg. and 1.00 stlpg. in 22.0 minpg.
Wilcox was acquired by Orlando along with cash considerations from the L.A. Clippers in exchange for Devyn Marble and a future second round draft pick on July 15. He has spent time in the NBA Development League during his professional career with Bakersfield (2015-16), Canton (2015-16) and Fort Wayne (2014-15).
The Orlando Magic and the Erie BayHawks are in the final year of a three-year single affiliation partnership. Orlando became the 16th NBA team to have a one-to-one affiliation with an NBA D-League team. The partnership, also referred to as a “hybrid affiliation,” allows an NBA team to control the NBA D-League team’s basketball operations, while the existing local ownership maintains primary responsibility for the team’s off-the-court business operations and community initiatives.
Orlando’s next game is Wednesday, January 4 vs. Atlanta. Tip-off is 7 p.m. Coverage on FOX Sports Florida begins at 6:30 p.m. For ticket information, log on to OrlandoMagic.com or call 407-89-MAGIC.
