The Osceola Magic acquired the returning player rights to Jordan Minor and a 2026 second-round pick from the Mexico City Capitanes in exchange for the returning player rights to Justin Minaya and Jalen McDaniels. General manager Kevin Tiller II announced the transaction Oct. 19, 2026. The Osceola Magic are based in Kissimmee, Florida, and compete in the NBA G League.
The 2026 second-round pick is from Capital City via Wisconsin. Minor’s returning player rights and the pick came from the Mexico City Capitanes, while Mexico City received the returning player rights to Minaya and McDaniels. The transaction gives Osceola a new returning player-rights asset and additional draft capital.
