Former Georgia guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope signs massive contract

Kentavious CaldwellPope Georgia NBA Georgia Bulldogs the Denver Nuggets Basketball Magic Orlando (Organization)

Former Georgia Bulldogs basketball star Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is joining the Orlando Magic on a three-year, $66 million contract. Caldwell-Pope played for the Denver Nuggets during the 2023-2024 NBA season. The Nuggets fell to Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves in the NBA playoffs.

Caldwell-Pope brings championship experience to the Magic. He has won the NBA Finals twice in his career. The former Georgia star won one title with the Denver Nuggets and one with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Orlando has a young core and is looking to advance further in the NBA postseason after falling in the first round of the 2024 NBA playoffs to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Last season, Caldwell-Pope averaged 10.1 points, 2.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.3 steals per game for the Denver Nuggets. Caldwell-Pope connected on 40.6% of his three-point attempts. He provides much-needed outside shooting for the Magic.
