Five others took plea deals, and one is a fugitive. | | | | | After trading veteran guard Tyus Jones and two second-round picks to the Charlotte Hornets for cash considerations on Wednesday night, the Magic made no other moves ahead of Thursday's 3 p.m. deadline. | | | | | SpaceX launched 26 missions from Kennedy Space Center's Launch Pad 39-A in 2025 including four human spaceflight missions.
