The Magic are converting **Jamal Cain**‘s two-way deal to a standard NBA contract, reports Jason Beede of The Orlando Sentinel.
The team put out a press release officially confirming the news (Twitter link).
Cain, 27, will fill the Magic’s 15th and final standard roster spot and will now be eligible for the postseason. The team won’t be able to back-fill Cain’s two-way spot, as the deadline to sign players to two-way contracts expired on March 4.
As Beede writes, Cain had been active 43 times this season, seven shy of the 50-game limit for two-way players. Orlando has 13 games left on its regular season schedule.
After going undrafted in 2022, Cain spent two seasons with Miami and one with New Orleans prior to joining the Magic last summer. 2025/26 marked the fourth straight season he was on a two-way deal; this is the first standard contract of his career.
