Miami forward Malik Reneau stays in the Sunshine State after signing with the Magic

Malik Reneau came home to play his final college season at Miami and will now stay in the Sunshine State to begin his NBA career.

The Orlando Magic signed Reneau to an Exhibit 10 contract after he went undrafted in the 2026 NBA Draft.

Reneau spent one season with the Hurricanes after three years at Indiana. He led the Hurricanes in scoring at 18.9 points per game while adding 6.5 rebounds and 2.1 assists. He shot 54% from the field and made 34.7% of his 3-point attempts. In the opening round of the NCAA tournament, Reneau scored 24 points in an 80-66 win over Missouri, with 19 of those points coming after halftime.

Reneau enters the Magic organization as a 6-foot-9, 238-pound forward with four seasons of major-conference experience. Before Miami, he spent three years at Indiana and earned All-Big Ten honorable mention recognition in both 2024 and 2025.

Reneau has strong footwork around the basket, a physical frame and a reliable midrange touch. He also showed meaningful growth as a perimeter threat at Miami, making 34.7% of his 3-pointers after shooting 33.3% from deep as an Indiana sophomore and 25% as a junior.

Orlando entered the draft without a first-round pick and ultimately kept only one selection, South Florida forward Izaiyah Nelson at No. 51, after trading Tennessee center Felix Okpara to Washington in a three-team deal. Reneau now joins a Magic offseason group that added Nelson through the draft and gave the former Miami forward an Exhibit 10 opportunity.

Reneau is the third member of Miami's veteran core to land a professional opportunity after the draft. Point guard Tre Donaldson signed a two-way contract with the Miami Heat, while center Ernest Udeh Jr. agreed to a two-way deal with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Those three players helped lead Miami back to the NCAA Tournament in HC Jai Lucas' first season.
