The Orlando Magic signed undrafted free agent guard Johnell Davis and waived small forward Justin Minaya to keep their roster at 21 players on Sunday night.

The Magic did not disclose terms for Davis, who signed a one-year, non-guaranteed Exhibit 10 contract, per the Orlando Sentinel, that can be converted into a two-way deal with their G League affiliate, the Osceola Magic, before the start of the regular season.

Minaya, 26, played in 57 games (one start) for the Portland Trail Blazers over parts of the past three seasons, including 19 games in 2024-25. He has averaged 1.7 points, 1.4 rebounds and 10.0 minutes per game. He spent much of last season in the G League and was signed as a free agent by the Magic on Sept. 2.

Davis played his final college season in 2024-25 at Arkansas, where he appeared in 34 games (29 starts) and averaged 12.0 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.4 steals and 31.7 minutes.

His first four seasons were at Florida Atlantic University (2020-24), where he averaged 11.2 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.2 steals and 22.9 minutes in 128 games (53 starts). Davis was the American Athletic Conference Co-Player of the Year in 2023-24 and an All-Conference USA first-team pick and the C-USA Sixth Man of the Year in 2022-23.
