On Thursday, the day of the NBA trade deadline, Jevon Carter received a phone call from his agent.

Carter, who was waived by the Bulls on Feb. 1, was told the Magic were “very interested” in him.

Things moved quickly after that for the free-agent guard.

On Friday he signed with Orlando and by Saturday morning he was inside the AdventHealth Training Center for shootaround, hours before the Magic hosted the Jazz at Kia Center.

“It was kind of a like a no-brainer for me,” Carter said about his decision to the Magic for the final 32 games of the regular season.
