Jase Richardson News, Rumors, Updates - Orlando Magic

Upgraded to available Richardson (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the 76ers.

Impact 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.

Iffy for Friday Richardson is questionable for Friday's game against the 76ers with left ankle soreness.

Impact This is a new injury for Richardson, but the questionable tag suggests that he's day-to-day. He's played well over his last three appearances, posting averages of 13.0 points, 2.3 assists, 1.3 rebounds and 2.0 three-pointers.

Nearly leads late comeback 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.

Impact 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.

Sees 27 minutes in win 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.

Impact This was a solid showing for Richardson, as he took advantage of some extra minutes with Jalen Suggs sidelined by a MCL contusion. If Suggs continues to miss time, which wouldn't be a surprise, Richardson could be a name to monitor in deeper formats.

Sees 20 minutes 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.

Impact Richardson is slowly becoming more involved for the Magic in the absence of Franz Wagner (ankle). Over his last seven games, he's seeing 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.

Notches 11 points 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.

Impact 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.

Leads bench in loss 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.

Impact 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.

Puts up eight points in loss 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.

Impact Richardson seems to have moved up in the depth chart, playing in 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.

Adds 18 points off bench 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.

Impact 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.

Fails to score yet again 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.

Impact 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.

Outside rotation Wednesday Richardson didn't play in Wednesday's 125-121 win over Miami.

Impact The entire Magic backcourt is healthy for the start of the new season, pushing Richardson outside of the rotation. The rookie first-rounder will remain a depth option at point guard going forward, so his value in redraft leagues seems to be minimal.

Scores 13 points off the bench Richardson provided 13 points (4-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, two triples, one steal and one turnover in 20 minutes off the bench during Sunday's preseason win over Miami...

Impact Through three preseason outings, Richardson has produced averages of 11.7 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 2.3 triples per game on 46.2 percent shooting. It's unlikely he'll have fantasy value out of the gates, as he'll likely be playing limited minutes behind Desmond Bane, but he'll be a name to watch if Orlando experiences an injury to one of their backcourt players this season.

Paces Orlando in win Richardson supplied 13 points (5-11 FG, 3-3 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 24 minutes in Saturday's 126-118 preseason win over the Heat.

Impact Richardson recorded a game-high mark in scoring, with all of his points coming in the third quarter. The No. 25 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft has an opportunity to carve out a role with the Magic in his rookie season, though he'll likely have to compete for minutes off the bench with Anthony Black and Jett Howard. Richardson averaged 12.1 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.9 assists across 25.3 minutes per game in 36 outings during his lone collegiate campaign at Michigan State.

The No. 25 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft is coming off his lone collegiate season at Michigan State, during which he averaged 12.1 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.9 assists across 25.3 minutes per game in 36 outings.
