The 2000–01 season was the 12th season of the Orlando Magic in the National Basketball Association (NBA).[1] During the offseason, the Magic acquired Tracy McGrady from the Toronto Raptors, and Grant Hill from the Detroit Pistons. Hill struggled with injuries and only played four games. However, the Magic would return to the playoffs after missing them in 2000, posting a record of 43–39, finishing fourth in the Atlantic Division. McGrady was named Most Improved Player of the Year, and was selected for the 2001 NBA All-Star Game. First round draft pick Mike Miller was named Rookie of the Year. In the postseason, they lost four games in the first round to the Milwaukee Bucks.
