DJ Armstrong Jr., a recent graduate of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, has officially inked a deal to compete for the Orlando Magic in the NBA Summer League held in Las Vegas.
Summer League Debut in Las Vegas
The 6‑foot‑5 guard will wear the Magic’s blue and white as he joins a roster filled with prospects eyeing a path to the regular season.
His appearance at the 2026 G League Combine in Chicago was more than a tryout; he impressed evaluators with his quick release and accuracy from beyond the arc.
His collegiate career culminated in a dominant performance in the America East Tournament championship, where he poured in 33 points to claim the MVP award.
That effort helped him secure Second Team All‑America East honors and a spot on the AE All‑Academic Team for the 2025‑26 season.
Statistically, Armstrong ranked eighth in the conference in scoring with 13.3 points per game while topping the league in three‑point percentage at .419, underscoring his reputation as a sharpshooter.
A native of Orlando, Florida, he returns to his home state with a chance to make an early impression on the Magic’s coaching staff and fan base.
