The Orlando Magic will be retiring a player's jersey for the first time in team history. Shaquille O'Neal's No. 32 will be retired during a ceremony on Tuesday, Feb. 13.

The ceremony will take place at the Kia Center after the Magic's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

“When someone asks who was the first player to officially put the Orlando Magic on the map, the answer is simple — Shaquille O’Neal,” Orlando Magic CEO Alex Martins said. “He took this franchise to new heights, both on and off the court, and his legacy is still felt within our organization today. On behalf of the DeVos family, we are excited to honor Shaquille by raising No. 32 into the rafters of the Kia Center, where it will remain forever.”

O'Neal was the overall No. 1 pick in the 1992 NBA Draft by the Magic out of LSU. He spent his first four seasons in Orlando before leaving as a free agent for the Los Angeles Lakers in 1996.

He was the NBA Rookie of the Year for Orlando in 1993 and an All-Star in all four of his seasons with the Magic.

In 1995, O'Neal led the Magic to the NBA Finals.

He still ranks among the franchise's career leaders in several categories, including blocked shots (second, 824), rebounds (third, 3,691) and points scored (sixth, 8,019).

“It was a great four years there,” O’Neal said during TNT's "NBA Tip-Off," in which he is a commentator. “I just wanted to come in and just make a name for myself. ... I’d like to thank the city of Orlando, like to thank the Orlando Magic organization. Appreciate you very much.”

This will be the third NBA franchise that O'Neal will have his jersey number retired. The Los Angeles Lakers retired his No. 34 jersey in April 2013, and the Miami Heat retired his No. 32 jersey in December 2016.

O'Neal won three titles with the Lakers, and another with the Heat.
