Magic's Jase Richardson: Out of rotation to end season
Rotowire
Richardson averaged 4.4 points, 1.2 rebounds and 1.1 assists per contest in 54 regular-season games during 2025-26.
The rookie first-rounder appeared just once during Orlando's seven-game first-round series with Detroit. If the Magic let Jevon Carter walk away this offseason, Richardson would have a better chance of cracking the Opening Night rotation in 2026-27.

Magic's Jase Richardson: Could return Sunday
Rotowire
Richardson (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bucks.
Richardson was unable to play in Saturday's win against Minnesota due to lower-back spasms.

Magic's Jase Richardson: Recalled to NBA
Rotowire
Orlando recalled Richardson from the G League's Osceola Magic on Friday.
Richardson joined Osceola for its 128-111 win over the Cleveland Charge on Friday, during which he recorded 22 points (9-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine assists, three rebounds and one steal in 31 minutes. The rookie first-rounder has totaled just 15 minutes in two appearances over Orlando's last four games, and he isn't guaranteed to see meaningful burn in Sunday's game against Detroit unless multiple key backcourt contributors are sidelined.
Richardson (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the 76ers.
Richardson is bothered by a sore left ankle, but he's still healthy enough to play Friday. With Jalen Suggs (knee) sidelined, the expectation is that Richardson and Tyus Jones will share the minutes as the backup point guards behind Anthony Black.

Magic's Jase Richardson: Iffy for Friday
Rotowire
Richardson is questionable for Friday's game against the 76ers with left ankle soreness.
Richardson wasn't on the injury report heading into the Magic's most recent game Wednesday against the Nets, but the sore ankle likely explains why he didn't see any minutes in the 104-103 win. He had received playing time in each of the Magic's prior 12 contests, averaging 8.8 points, 1.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.2 three-pointers in 17.7 minutes.
