The Orlando Magic extended the contract of general manager Rob Hennigan through the 2017-18 season.
Hennigan was named general manager of the Magic on June 20, 2012. The Magic have compiled a 68-178 record during Hennigan’s three years, including a disappointing 25-57 record this season.
“Under the leadership of Rob, we feel that we are positioning ourselves to be able to contend in a long-term, sustainable fashion,” Magic chief executive officer Alex Martins said in a statement Thursday. “We are proud of the work that Rob and our basketball operations department has done to this point and we look forward to taking the next steps in the process.”
Before joining the Magic, Hennigan spent the previous four seasons (2008-12) with Oklahoma City, including his last two seasons as the Thunder’s assistant general manager/player personnel. Prior to joining the Thunder, he spent four seasons with the San Antonio Spurs.
“It’s an honor to be a member of this organization and a privilege to work for the DeVos Family under Dan and Alex’s leadership,” Hennigan said. “I am extremely grateful for the unwavering trust and support that our entire organization demonstrates as we continue building our team for competitive longevity and one in which all of Central Florida can be proud.”
