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. The rookie first-rounder has a chance to return for Sunday's contest, and while he's had inconsistent playing time since the All-Star break, Richardson would be in line for a larger role off the bench if Anthony Black (back) was ruled out.

Magic's Jase Richardson: Dealing with back spasms
Rotowire
Richardson has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves due to lower-back spasms.
Richardson will miss the front end of the Magic's back-to-back set and look to return for Sunday's road tilt against the Bucks. The rookie first-rounder has seen inconsistent playing time this season and has averaged just 7.2 minutes per game in five outings since the All-Star break.

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.

Magic's Jase Richardson: Nearly leads late comeback
Rotowire
Richardson recorded 20 points (7-12 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds and three assists over 26 minutes during the Magic's 120-112 loss to the Wizards on Tuesday.
Richardson saw most of his playing time in the second half when the game seemed out of reach for the Magic, but the rookie first-rounder ended up leading the team in scoring while contributing to Orlando's late comeback attempt. Richardson has seen extended playing time off the bench in back-to-back games, due in part to the absence of Jalen Suggs (knee). More strong play like Tuesday could earn Richardson more consistent minutes moving forward.

Magic's Jase Richardson: Sees 27 minutes in win
Rotowire
Richardson closed with 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), one rebound and four assists over 27 minutes during Sunday's 135-127 victory over the Pacers.
This was a solid showing for Richardson, as he took advantage of some extra minutes with Jalen Suggs sidelined by an MCL contusion. If Suggs continues to miss time, which wouldn't be a surprise, Richardson could be a name to monitor in deeper formats.

Magic's Jase Richardson: Sees 20 minutes
Rotowire
Richardson ended Monday's 107-106 loss to the Raptors with seven points (2-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal over 20 minutes.
Richardson is slowly becoming more involved for the Magic in the absence of Franz Wagner (ankle). Over his last seven games, the rookie has played 19.3 minutes per contest with averages of 8.1 points, 2.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.9 three-pointers. His fantasy appeal remains limited to deeper formats for the time being.

Magic's Jase Richardson: Notches 11 points
Rotowire
Richardson notched 11 points (5-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds, one block and one steal over 22 minutes during Monday's 120-97 loss to the Warriors.
Richardson's involvement is on the rise, though he's mostly just a deep-league fantasy asset for now. Over his last four outings, Richardson has averaged 9.8 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.5 three-pointers in 18.0 minutes per contest.

Magic's Jase Richardson: Leads bench in loss
Rotowire
Richardson contributed nine points (3-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two assists and one rebound in eight minutes during Saturday's 132-120 loss to New York.
The rookie first-rounder did not see the floor in the first three quarters but played the last 7:35 with Jalen Suggs (hip) exiting to the locker room and not returning. Richardson impressed during his limited run and ended with a bench-high nine points for Orlando. The Michigan State product is not guaranteed to play meaningful minutes on a nightly basis, though he could see increased playing time if Suggs is forced to miss additional time.

Magic's Jase Richardson: Puts up eight points in loss
Rotowire
Richardson ended Wednesday's 114-112 loss to the Spurs with eight points (3-5 FG, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 16 minutes.
Richardson seems to have moved up in the depth chart, playing at least 10 minutes in his last three games and averaging 11.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.3 threes in that span. Time will tell if this role boost will last, but Richardson is definitely worth monitoring in deeper leagues, especially if an injury were to occur to Orlando's backcourt.

Magic's Jase Richardson: Adds 18 points off bench
Rotowire
Richardson racked up 18 points (7-11 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and two assists in 21 minutes during Sunday's 138-129 loss to the Celtics.
Richardson saw a sizable increase in opportunities given a thin Magic backcourt. He was averaging 4.4 minutes in five November appearances entering Sunday but logged a season-high 21 minutes in the loss, scoring in double figures for the first time in his young NBA career. Richardson could eventually carve out a consistent role in Orlando's rotation, but for the time being, he'll presumably move out of the fold once Jalen Suggs (knee) is cleared to return.

Magic's Jase Richardson: Fails to score yet again
Rotowire
Richardson racked up zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one assist over seven minutes during Tuesday's 127-112 loss to the Hawks.
Richardson came up empty in the scoring column for the fifth straight game, having played limited minutes to this point in his young career. While the Magic could certainly do with some reliable shooting, it doesn't appear as though Richardson is on the radar as far as the coaching staff is concerned.
Richardson (coach's decision) went unused in Wednesday's 125-121 win over Miami.
The entire Magic backcourt is healthy for the start of the new season, leaving no room in the rotation for Richardson. The rookie first-round pick out of Michigan State showed some promise during the preseason, but he'll likely have minimal value in redraft leagues unless the Magic are down multiple key guards in a given game.
