Anthony worked as an assistant general manager, became GM, and will work under the president of basketball operations, Jeff Weltman. He continues his career from an NBA and EuroLeague player to Orlando scout, G-League executive chief, and now general manager.

Many NBA franchises approached Parker during his 11 years with Magic. Still, he chose to stay loyal, remain on the Floridian NBA team, and elevate his career within the organization.

Orlando is also appointing former associate general manager Pete D’Alessandro to executive vice president of basketball operations.
