The Orlando Magic have promoted longtime assistant athletic trainer and performance enhancement specialist Keon Weise to the head athletic trainer’s job.

Magic spokesman Joel Glass on Monday confirmed the move.

Weise, 31, will replace Tom Smith, who was let go after four seasons as the team’s head athletic trainer.

Weise joined the organization as an athletic training intern for the 2002-03 season and was hired full-time the following year.

Weise will be responsible for all aspects of Magic players’ medical care, including injury prevention and rehabilitation.

A native of Philadelphia, Weise received his undergraduate degree from the University of Maryland and earned his master’s degree in sports medicine/athletic training from Temple University.
