Cory Joseph News, Rumors, Updates - Orlando Magic

Rare appearance in win Joseph ended Wednesday's 102-86 win over the Hornets with three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt) in three minutes.

Impact Joseph appeared for just the second time in the past 10 games, continuing what has been another disappointing campaign for the veteran guard. To this point, he has averaged just 2.0 points and 0.4 steals in 7.3 minutes per game.

Will play against Bucks Joseph (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.

Impact Despite dealing with an illness Wednesday, Joseph will give it a go for the Magic. The veteran guard has averaged 5.0 points, 2.3 assists and 0.3 rebounds in 13.5 minutes across his past four outings, so Joseph's role hasn't increased amid Jalen Suggs' (back) absence.

Iffy due to illness Joseph is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bucks on Wednesday due to an illness.

Impact Joseph was a late addition to the injury report, as he likely woke up under the weather. The veteran has been seeing a handful of minutes at the edge of the rotation with Jalen Suggs (back) sidelined, and the Magic will likely use a committee approach to soak up his minutes if he can't give it a go.

Magic's Jalen Suggs leaves game against Raptors in wheelchair because of back spasms

Could see larger role Joseph posted three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist in 14 minutes during Sunday's 102-101 victory over the Nets.

Impact Joseph saw a few extra minutes Sunday after Jalen Suggs left early with a wrist sprain. Joseph would be a candidate to see a few extra minutes if Suggs is unable to play Wednesday against Detroit, but Cole Anthony and Anthony Black (back) are more attractive fantasy options.

Cracks rotation again Monday Joseph recorded three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt) in three minutes during Monday's 102-86 loss to the Thunder.

Impact Joseph remained in the rotation, albeit in a very limited role, highlighting just how desperate the Magic are at the moment. With Paolo Banchero (oblique) slated to miss more than a month of action, Orlando is struggling to find a spark, especially on the offensive end. Although he has featured in three consecutive games, Joseph is not the answer the Magic are looking for.

Joins Orlando on two-year deal Joseph and the Magic agreed to a two-year deal Wednesday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Impact This could be a strong indication that Orlando has moved on from bringing back Markelle Fultz in free agency. A 13-year NBA veteran, Joseph holds career regular-season averages of 6.9 points, 3.0 assists and 2.5 rebounds, but it's unlikely he'll play a big role in Orlando with the likes of Jalen Suggs, Cole Anthony and Anthony Black in the backcourt.

Cory Joseph traded to Indiana Pacers along with cash considerations from Golden State Warriors Joseph played for the Pacers before

FEBRUARY 9, 2024 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Reports: Pacers add Cory Joseph in trade with Warriors The veteran guard has been dealt to Indiana in a trade with Golden State, but will be waived by the Pacers.

FEBRUARY 8, 2024 • NBA.COM

Parting ways with Indiana Joseph was waived by the Pacers on Thursday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact Joseph was traded from the Warriors to the Pacers on Thursday but won't remain with his new organization. The 32-year-old had an inconsistent role off the bench for Golden State to begin the regular season, so it's unclear whether he'll find a meaningful role elsewhere.

FEBRUARY 8, 2024 • USATODAY.COM

Moving to Indiana Joseph and cash were traded from the Warriors on Thursday to the Pacers for a second-round pick, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact This seems like a move simply to shore up backcourt depth. Joseph doesn't project as an every-game player and will presumably be behind Tyrese Haliburton, Andrew Nembhard and T.J. McConnell on the depth chart.

FEBRUARY 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Underwhelms again Saturday Joseph logged three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists across 18 minutes during Saturday's 129-118 loss to Milwaukee.

Impact Joseph continues to play meaningful minutes for the Warriors, despite the fact he has failed to score more than four points in all but one game this season. The Warriors are scraping the bottom of the barrel right now, having lost seven of their past 10 games. Other than taking minutes away from younger players, Joseph offers nothing in terms of fantasy value, even in the deepest of leagues.

JANUARY 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Plays 14 minutes in blowout loss Joseph amassed zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and two assists in 14 minutes during Sunday's 133-118 loss to the Raptors.

Impact Joseph has been on the fringes of the Warriors' rotation in recent weeks, but he played double-digit minutes Sunday after the team fell behind early. He didn't make much of an impact on the stat sheet, but it's possible he sees a few more minutes than usual going forward now that Chris Paul (hand) is sidelined.

JANUARY 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Plays season-high 22 minutes Joseph provided one point (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 22 minutes during Thursday's 120-114 win over the Clippers.

Impact With Chris Paul (lower leg), Andrew Wiggins (finger) and Gary Payton (calf) all sidelined, Joseph played a season-high 22 minutes. Joseph didn't deliver immense production, but he figures to remain a key bench option until the aforementioned trio is healthy.

DECEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Plays 20 minutes in loss Joseph ended with three points (1-7 FG, 1-6 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one block in 20 minutes during Thursday's 128-109 loss to the Thunder.

Impact Joseph has been on the fringes of the Warriors' rotation for most of the early portion of the regular season, but he's now played double-digit minutes in back-to-back matchups. However, his uptick in playing time has presumably been due to Stephen Curry (ankle) missing back-to-back matchups. Once Curry is back in action, Joseph's role will likely decrease once again.

NOVEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared for Wednesday's game Joseph (back) will play in Wednesday's game against the Kings, C.J. Holmes of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Joseph has been nursing a back strain throughout the preseason, but he's received the green light for Wednesday's tilt. With Chris Paul coming off the bench for the contest, Joseph is expected to fulfill the third slot on the depth chart.

OCTOBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Making progress Joseph (back) is officially questionable for Wednesday's preseason contest against Sacramento.

Impact Joseph has been absent for three prior preseason contests, although it appears he's nearing a return. The 32-year-old is competing with Gary Payton, Rodney McGruder and rookie Brandin Podziemski for backup guard minutes.

Questionable Monday Joseph (illness) is questionable for Monday's game against the Bucks.

Impact Joseph missed Friday's game with an illness, but it looks like he could return by Monday. If he is able to get back out there, Jaden Ivey would be less likely to log 40-plus minutes.

MARCH 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Late addition to injury report Joseph is out for Friday's game versus the Raptors due to a non-COVID illness.

Impact Joseph will miss his first game Friday since Feb. 6. With Alec Burks (foot) and Rodney McGruder (foot) also out, Jaden Ivey, Killian Hayes and R.J. Hampton will likely receive heavy workloads in the backcourt. Joseph's next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Milwaukee.
