Option declined by Orlando The Magic will decline Houstan's team option, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact Orlando will retain Bird Rights over Houstan, and while they will not pick up his $2.1 million option, the two sides could still strike a deal when free agency begins. Houstan came off the bench for most of the season but did start in six of 58 regular-season games and averaged 4.1 points, 1.3 rebounds and 0.6 assist over 13.6 minutes per contest.

Scoreless in seven minutes Houstan chipped in zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt) over seven minutes during Tuesday's 120-89 loss to the Celtics in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Impact Houstan saw a very minimal role in the postseason and didn't make much noise at all, shooting 14.3 percent from the field. As for the regular season, Houstan made 58 appearances and struggled to break through in the rotation, averaging 4.1 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.1 three-pointers on 42.1 percent shooting in 13.6 minutes.

Makes minimal impact in loss Houstan racked up zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt) across 11 minutes during Wednesday's 109-100 loss to Boston in Game 2 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Impact Houstan has scored just three total points while shooting 14.3 percent from the field during Orlando's first two games of their first-round series against Boston. The Magic will likely need better production from Houstan and the rest of the bench in order to come back from a 2-0 deficit.

Catches fire from deep in win Houstan supplied 18 points (6-7 FG, 6-7 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists across 25 minutes during Saturday's 121-91 victory over the Kings.

Impact Houstan led the second unit in points, tying his highest scoring output of the month while drilling six three-pointers. The third-year forward filled in as a starter earlier this year when Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner were sidelined, but Houstan has averaged only 6.5 points, 1.3 rebounds, 0.7 steals and 1.9 three-pointers in 14.6 minutes across 12 games this month and doesn't carry much fantasy appeal while the two star forwards are healthy.

Notches 12 points Houstan had 12 points (4-7 FG, 4-6 3Pt) in 23 minutes during Tuesday's 111-104 win over the Hornets.

Impact This was Houstan's second game since the beginning of February with double-digit points, so this performance was an outlier. He's been a minimal part of the rotation recently, averaging 5.3 points, 1.2 rebounds and 1.4 three-pointers in 12.6 minutes across 10 March appearances.

Pops for 18 points Houstan provided 18 points (6-9 FG, 6-8 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and four steals over 27 minutes during Friday's 118-111 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Houstan scored a season-high 18 points, adding four thefts, also marking a season-best. With Kentavious Caldwell-Pope resting, Houstan played at least 25 minutes for just the sixth time this season. Prior to Friday, he had scored a total of just 19 points in his previous six games.

Sees floor in loss Houstan closed with three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and two rebounds across eight minutes during Thursday's 125-123 loss to the Bulls.

Impact Houstan saw the court after sitting out of the club's last three outings due to a coach's decision. The 22-year-old forward has received a DNP via a coach's decision in seven of the club's last 13 outings. However, Houstan could continue to crack the rotation if Jonathan Isaac (illness) remains out for Saturday's game against the Bucks.

Off injury report for Wednesday Houstan (illness) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Kings, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Impact Houstan missed Monday's loss to the Warriors due to the illness, though he'll be available to return Wednesday. The 22-year-old has received inconsistent playing time of late, and over his last five outings, he has averaged 2.2 points and 2.0 rebounds in 15.0 minutes per game off the bench.

FEBRUARY 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sits Monday with illness Houstan was inactive for Monday's 104-99 loss to the Warriors due to an illness.

Impact Houstan recently dropped out of the Orlando rotation, logging just five minutes in total over the Magic's previous four games before the illness kept him from suiting up Monday. Even if he moves past the illness ahead of the Magic's next game Wednesday in Sacramento, he likely won't be in store for any playing time.

Back to bench Houstan isn't part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Milwaukee, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Impact Houstan filled in for Kentavious Caldwell-Pope in the first unit during Orlando's previous game, but he'll rejoin the reserves Wednesday with Caldwell-Pope healthy. Houstan is averaging 2.8 points across 11.1 minutes per game this season.

Starting Sunday Houstan is in the Magic's starting lineup against the 76ers on Sunday.

Impact Houstan started in four straight games before returning to the bench against the Bucks on Friday due to the return of Paolo Banchero (oblique). However, Houstan will re-enter the starting five Sunday due to the absence of Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (knee). Over his last five outings, Houstan has averaged 6.8 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists over 25.4 minutes per game.

JANUARY 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Back to bench Friday Houstan isn't in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Bucks.

Impact With star forward Paolo Banchero (oblique) making his long-awaited return to the mix for the Magic on Friday, Houstan will be the odd man out and revert back to the second unit. Houstan has barely been a factor when operating from Orlando's bench this season, as he's averaged 1.8 points, 0.5 rebounds and 0.2 assists in 7.2 minutes over 22 games as a reserve, meaning he'll likely fade back to fantasy irrelevance against Milwaukee.
