The Orlando Magic have fired general manager Rob Hennigan after a five-season tenure that included zero playoff appearances, the team announced Thursday.
The Magic have made assistant general manager Matt Lloyd their interim GM, and a source told ESPN's Brian Windhorst that he will be considered for the permanent job.
Hennigan was under contract through next season.
The Magic had expected to make their first playoff appearance since 2011-12 after hiring former Indiana Pacers coach Frank Vogel to replace Scott Skiles and trading for Serge Ibaka on draft day last June.
Hennigan, the league's youngest GM at age 35, wound up trading Ibaka to the Toronto Raptors just eight months after surrendering Victor Oladipo, No. 11 overall pick Domantas Sabonis and another future first-round pick to acquire him from the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The Magic were 29-53 in 2016-17 and finished last in the Southeast Division in each of Hennigan's five seasons.
Hennigan was hired at age 30 by Orlando in July 2012 after front-office stints with San Antonio and Oklahoma City. He traded a disgruntled Dwight Howard to the Los Angeles Lakers within his first month on the job but wasn't able to steer the Magic to a position higher than last season's 11th in the East.
