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.

Da Silva chipped in zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) over eight minutes during Sunday's 116-94 loss to the Pistons in Game 7 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Even with Franz Wagner (calf) and Jonathan Isaac (knee) sidelined, da Silva was phased out of the Orlando rotation at times during this series. It was still a positive 2025-26 campaign overall for the second-year forward, who averaged 9.9 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 0.9 steals in 24.7 minutes per tilt over 77 regular-season games (34 starts).

Vucevic did not see the floor in Saturday's Game 7 loss to the 76ers.

Vucevic had played 19.0 minutes per contest in the previous six games of this series, but the Celtics completely went away from the veteran Saturday. Following his trade from Chicago, Vucevic made 16 regular-season appearances for the Celtics and averaged 9.7 points, 6.6 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 21.1 minutes per contest. The center is now set to hit the open market as a free agent.

Wagner posted five points (1-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and two rebounds across 10 minutes during Sunday's 116-94 loss to the Pistons in Game 7 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

After beginning the season on the shelf amid his knee surgery recovery, Wagner never quite made his way into much fantasy relevance in 2025-26. Set for unrestricted free agency this offseason, the 29-year-old big man averaged 6.9 points, 3.2 rebounds and 0.8 assists in 11.9 minutes per contest across 36 regular-season games.

Carter had zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in 11 minutes during Sunday's 116-94 loss to Detroit in Game 7 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

After being waived by the Bulls ahead of a busy trade deadline in February, Carter signed a one-year contract with the Magic and was a veteran presence for a young club. He wound up playing a fairly decent role for Orlando, closing with averages of 7.2 points, 2.3 assists, 2.1 rebounds and 0.9 steals in 20.4 minutes per contest across 30 regular-season games for the Magic.

Black chipped in 11 points (4-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist and five steals across 33 minutes during Sunday's 116-94 loss to Detroit in Game 7 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Black tallied a game-high five steals Sunday, punctuating a breakout 2025-26 campaign. A late-season abdominal strain left him with a reduced workload for much of the postseason, but the third-year guard still averaged a career-high 15.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.4 steals in 29.8 minutes per tilt over 64 regular-season games.

Hauser closed Saturday's 109-100 loss to the 76ers in Game 7 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist over 30 minutes.

The Celtics inexplicably brought Neemias Queta and Hauser off the bench in favor of Ron Harper and Luka Garza, but the experiment did not last long with Harper and Garza combining for 13 total minutes. Hauser closed the 2025-26 regular season with 78 appearances and averages of 9.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2.5 three-pointers in 24.8 minutes per contest.

Harper closed Saturday's 109-100 loss to the 76ers in Game 7 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and two steals across four minutes.

Harper starting Game 7 was not on anyone's bingo card, but the experiment did not last long. Playing in his third NBA campaign, Harper logged 29 regular-season appearances for the Celtics and averaged 4.2 points and 1.7 rebounds in 11.0 minutes per contest.

Cain notched five points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 24 minutes during Sunday's 116-94 loss to Detroit in Game 7 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

With both Franz Wagner (calf) and Jonathan Isaac (knee) sidelined, Cain was thrust into a significant role during the final stretch of Orlando's playoff run. Over 40 regular-season contests (one start), the fourth-year forward averaged 5.4 points, 2.0 rebounds and 0.7 assists in 12.2 minutes per game.

Edwards (knee) was a "significant participant" during Monday's morning shootaround, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Edwards, who is listed as questionable for Game 1 against the Spurs on Monday, is "pushing to play." Charania adds that the medical staff will make a final decision later in the day, meaning Edwards is shaping up to be a game-time decision.
