The Orlando Magic waived Malaki Branham, JD Davison and Kevin Knox II after the preseason, leaving an open standard roster spot and giving the three Exhibit 10 signees a possible path to the G League’s Osceola Magic. Orlando’s tight payroll, including its limited room below the second tax apron, factored into the roster decisions.
