Magic CEO Alex Martins made this announcement in a statement released by Magic PR, with the executive making sure to recognize all that the DeVos family has contributed not only for the Magic, but for the community as well for the past two decades:

“What a perfect way to honor all that Mr. and Mrs. DeVos brought to the Orlando Magic organization and the Central Florida community,” said  Martins. “From the beginning Mr. and Mrs. DeVos’ vision was that the team and organization would serve as a platform to improve the Central Florida community. That legacy will certainly live on, both in the Orlando Magic's community efforts and philanthropic contributions, as well as in the way we strive to play the game with passion, a strong work ethic and integrity, while also bringing people together from all walks of life. Our court will now forever commemorate Mr. and Mrs. DeVos who made that vision a reality.”

The DeVos family has certainly provided an immeasurable amount of support in the development of the Magic franchise. It is only right that they are greeted with such an honor, and this will hopefully serve as a reminder to each and every member of the organization of the great things this family has done for the entire team.
