The Orlando Magic and Lester Quinones have agreed to a deal, according to Avery Torff of Courtside Headlines.

The deal is an Exhibit 10 contract. Quinones will compete for a roster or two-way spot.

After going undrafted from Memphis in 2022, Quinones has played 54 NBA games across three seasons. His most productive year came in 2023-24 with the Golden State Warriors, averaging 4.4 points and 1.9 rebounds while shooting 36.4% from three.

Quinones spent last season moving between teams. He began with the Philadelphia 76ers on a two-way deal, was waived in December, then signed another two-way deal with the New Orleans Pelicans in March, and was released this summer.

During the 2024-25 season, Quinones saw limited NBA action, appearing in just 13 games, but posted impressive numbers in the G League, averaging 21.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 4.9 assists in 41 games with the Birmingham Squadron and Delaware Blue Coats.

If Orlando waives him, Quinones could land with the Lakeland Magic in the G League and receive a bonus worth up to $85,300, if the affiliate claims his rights.
