New story on Goga Bitadze getting a fresh start in Orlando — with perspective from Rick Carlisle and Kevin Pritchard last week.
“I hope he does work. I think it was because he didn’t get the opportunity that he maybe should have.”

More on this storyline
Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle said he just missed Bitadze and wasn’t able to talk with him last week after the transaction, but they did communicate via text. “On Goga’s next stop, he’s gonna do well,” Carlisle said. “He’s a player that’s improved. It was a tough spot for him because we ended up with a lot of guys at the 5 position. But he’s a very good player and I think he’ll do very well on his next stop.” -via Fieldhouse Files / February 13, 2023
Michael Scotto: The Orlando Magic signed Goga Bitadze to a two-year deal, league sources told @HoopsHype. The second year of the deal is a team option. Bitadze was the No. 18 overall pick in the 2019 draft by the Indiana Pacers. -via Twitter @MikeAScotto / February 13, 2023
Scott Agness: Bitadze continued working out in Indy the last couple of days and the Magic expressed interest. Once they had a free roster spot after waiving Terrence Ross, Bitadze was added. The fresh start he was looking for. -via Twitter @ScottAgness / February 13, 2023
