Leslie made her debut during Fox Sports Florida’s coverage of the Magic’s road game against the Dallas Mavericks. The contest resulted in a 114-99 win for the Mavs.
She also appeared during FS Florida’s coverage of the Magic’s contest on the road at the Milwaukee Bucks. That game as well resulted in a Magic defeat – 110-103 to Milwaukee.
Even if this season has seen its fair share of struggles in the shadow of “The Happiest Place on Earth,” it appears Leslie’s presence on FS Florida is bringing smiles to the faces of Orlando aficionados.
