The Orlando Magic have signed second-round pick Noah Penda to a four-year, $8.7 million contract, according to a report from Michael Scotto of HoopsHype.
The first two years of the agreement are fully guaranteed for $3.4 million, with a trigger date on the third year and a team option for the fourth.
Penda, 20, was selected No. 32 overall in the 2025 NBA Draft by the Boston Celtics and later acquired by Orlando.
The 6-foot-8 French forward gained attention with a breakout campaign in the LNB Pro A this past season, earning league-wide honors.
He averaged 10.3 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.8 assists for Le Mans Sarthe, where he started regularly and became one of the league’s youngest All-Stars.
Penda was also named the 2025 LNB Pro A Best Young Player and MVP of the Young Star Game in January.
Prior to joining Le Mans, he spent two seasons with JA Vichy-Clermont in France’s second division. He improved significantly between seasons, raising his scoring from 3.9 to 9.5 points per game and earning All-Pro B second-team honors.
