The Orlando Magic are set to appoint San Antonio Spurs assistant coach Sean Sweeney as their next head coach, the team’s first leadership change since the end of the 2025-26 season.
The decision, reported on May 29, 2026, ends Sweeney’s stint on Gregg Popovich’s staff in San Antonio and marks his first opportunity to lead an NBA franchise. Contract details and the official start date were not disclosed.
Sweeney joined the Spurs after previous assistant stops across the league. He is expected to take over a young Magic roster looking to climb in the Eastern Conference standings when training camp opens this fall in Orlando.
