NBA 2K26 Summer League, featuring squads from all 30 franchises, takes place in Las Vegas, July 10-20. And as of the Orlando Magic’s Summer League roster reveal on Wednesday afternoon, the action is set to include former three-year Duke basketball player and two-time Blue Devil captain Wendell Moore Jr.There’s no telling how much playing time Moore will receive.

Orlando’s opener in Summer League action is slated for Thursday, July 10, in Las Vegas’ Cox Pavilion, as Wendell Moore Jr. and the Magic will square off against the Sacramento Kings at 7:30 p.m. ET on NBA TV.
