The Osceola Magic represent a professional basketball franchise competing in the NBA G League, operating out of Kissimmee, Florida, and serving as the official affiliate of the Orlando Magic. The team commenced its participation in the 2017–18 season under the name Lakeland Magic, hosting their home contests at Silver Spurs Arena.

Initially founded as the Erie BayHawks based in Erie, Pennsylvania, the franchise relocated to Lakeland in 2018. On April 11, 2023, the Orlando Magic revealed plans to transfer the team to Kissimmee starting November 2023, accompanied by a rebranding to Osceola Magic.

Erie BayHawks (2008–2017)

Established in 2008 as an expansion team within the NBA Development League (D-League), the Erie BayHawks began with affiliations to both the Cleveland Cavaliers and Philadelphia 76ers. The "BayHawks" moniker paid tribute to Presque Isle Bay and the city’s naval heritage, while the team’s colors were inspired by Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry and U.S. Navy uniforms from the War of 1812 era. Between 2009 and 2011, the franchise was linked with the Toronto Raptors, playing home games at Erie Insurance Arena.

After the Cavaliers ended their partnership in 2011 upon creating the Canton Charge, Erie aligned with the New York Knicks. A notable moment occurred in January 2012 when Knicks player Jeremy Lin was assigned to Erie, delivering a triple-double performance before being recalled three days later. Later that year, NBA veteran Amar'e Stoudemire joined the BayHawks on assignment due to injury recovery.

In 2012, former player Patrick Ewing was offered the head coaching role by the Knicks but declined, aiming instead for NBA-level coaching positions. By 2014, when New York launched their own D-League team, the Westchester Knicks, they ended their affiliation with Erie. Consequently, Erie sought a new partnership and in May 2014 secured a hybrid affiliation agreement with the Orlando Magic.

Lakeland Magic (2017–2023)

In January 2016, Orlando Magic announced intentions to create their own D-League team within Florida as an expansion rather than relocating the Erie BayHawks. Potential locations under consideration included Bay Lake, Daytona Beach, Estero, Fort Myers, Jacksonville, Kissimmee, Lakeland, and Orlando. By February 2016, this list was narrowed down to Bay Lake, Jacksonville, Lakeland, and Kissimmee; by June, only Kissimmee and Lakeland remained finalists.

The Magic acquired the BayHawks franchise in December 2016 and moved it to Lakeland for participation starting in the 2017–18 season. This acquisition made Orlando the seventeenth NBA organization to possess a G League team. Alongside this move, plans were made for a practice facility near Winter Haven. The franchise was officially named Lakeland Magic in April 2017. In August of that year, Stan Heath was appointed head coach while Anthony Parker took on general manager responsibilities.

Following this transition, former BayHawks management pursued establishing a replacement franchise in Erie. In January 2017, under previous management, the Atlanta Hawks temporarily stationed their D-League affiliate in Erie for two seasons as a new BayHawks team. This franchise was intended to relocate to College Park, Georgia for the 2019–20 season. Prior to the start of the 2017–18 campaign, the league rebranded itself as the NBA G League due to a sponsorship agreement with Gatorade.

The Lakeland Magic captured the league championship during the shortened 2021 season affected by COVID-19 restrictions. Head coach Stan Heath received Coach of the Year accolades before departing for Eastern Michigan University; associate coach Joe Barrer was promoted to head coach. Anthony Parker advanced to assistant general manager with Orlando while Adetunji Adedipe was elevated to general manager of Lakeland in October 2021 after several years within the organization.

Osceola Magic (2023–present)

On April 11, 2023, the Orlando Magic revealed plans to move their G League team to Osceola in order to establish proximity to Orlando. The franchise operates out of Osceola Heritage Park and hosts its games at Silver Spurs Arena.
