Jevon Carter News, Rumors, Updates - Orlando Magic

Removed from rotation Carter (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Wednesday in the Magic's 109-97 loss to the 76ers in the Play-In Tournament.

Impact Carter had appeared in all 29 of the Magic's games following the All-Star break and averaged 7.4 points, 2.3 assists, 2.1 rebounds and 0.9 steals in 21.0 minutes, but he ended up being the odd man out Wednesday with head coach Jamahl Mosely cutting his rotation down to nine men for the playoff opener. With Jalen Suggs logging heavy minutes Wednesday as the Magic's starting point guard and with Franz Wagner and Anthony Black also beginning to see more playing time after having their minutes monitored carefully late in the regular season following their returns from extended absences, Carter will likely struggle to see the court for the duration of Orlando's playoff run.

Quiet in 16 minutes Carter totaled three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two assists and one steal across 16 minutes during Wednesday's 130-101 loss to Atlanta.

Impact The Magic used a deep rotation in this blowout loss, but Carter was unable to make much of an impact in this one. Over his last eight games, he's averaging 7.3 points, 1.8 assists and 1.6 rebounds in 20.8 minutes per contest.

Reverting to bench role Carter won't start Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers.

Impact Carter got the starting nod in place of Jalen Suggs (illness) during Monday's loss to Indiana, but Jamal Cain will enter the starting five for Suggs in the second leg of this back-to-back. Carter has averaged 11.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.2 steals across 18.8 minutes per game over his last five outings off the bench.

Comes up empty in start Carter posted two points (1-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal in 24 minutes during Monday's 128-126 loss to Indiana.

Impact Carter was elevated into the starting lineup after Jalen Suggs was ruled out due to an illness. Having scored double digits in four straight games coming into Monday, the hope was that Carter would make for an interesting stream option. However, those who took a chance on him were met with nothing but disappointment, as Carter recorded arguably his worst performance since joining the Magic. At this point, he should only be on the radar for streaming purposes, if and when the schedule works in his favor.

Starting sans Suggs Carter will start Monday's game against the Pacers.

Impact With Jalen Suggs (illness) joining Anthony Black (abdomen) and Franz Wagner (ankle) on the sidelines, Carter will get the starting nod for the first time this season. Over 12 March appearances, the 30-year-old guard has averaged 8.4 points, 2.8 assists and 2.4 rebounds in 21.4 minutes per contest, though he'll likely see an uptick in minutes with the first unit.

Hits three triples in blowout loss Carter finished Thursday's 130-111 loss to the Hornets with 11 points (4-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and two steals in 19 minutes.

Impact Carter provided a scoring spark for Orlando's second unit Thursday, reaching double-digit points for the third consecutive game. It is a notable turnaround for the veteran guard, who had failed to reach that mark in each of his previous six appearances before this stretch. Carter has maintained a consistent role in the rotation following the return of Jalen Suggs, appearing for at least 16 minutes in 16 straight outings with the Magic. Since joining the Magic in mid February, Carter is averaging 8.2 points and 2.8 assists across 21.8 minutes per game.

Sees 20 minutes in win Carter finished with nine points (3-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two assists, one block and one steal over 20 minutes during Wednesday's 128-122 victory over the Cavaliers.

Impact Carter continues to soak up additional minutes with the second unit with Anthony Black (abdomen) and Franz Wagner (ankle) still sidelined. Over his last seven games, he's averaging 23.5 minutes with 7.7 points, 3.4 assist and 2.0 rebounds.

Hands out six dimes off bench Carter racked up 10 points (3-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and six assists over 30 minutes during Tuesday's 126-109 win over Washington.

Impact The six assists were a season-high output for Carter, but overall, it's very hard to trust him as a bench option on a game-to-game basis. He has scored in double digits in two of his last five outings, but in the other three, he's scored a combined two points. The inconsistencies in production and playing time limit his upside considerably across all formats, making him valuable only as a streaming option in deeper leagues.

Fares well off bench Carter totaled 14 points (5-10 FG, 4-9 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 22 minutes during Thursday's 113-108 loss to Houston.

Impact Carter has been a hit-or-miss fantasy asset off the bench in Orlando, but he continues to see increased reps in the backcourt. Jalen Suggs returned to action Thursday and logged just 13 minutes, but once he's up to full speed, Carter is likely to see a reduced role.

Impact The Magic leaned heavily on their starting lineup over four-plus quarters, and Carter was the only member of the second unit to play more than 19 minutes or score in double digits. The veteran guard struggled to break into the rotation with Chicago before being waived at the end of January, but in two games for Orlando since the All-Star break he's had a prominent role in the backcourt, averaging 14.5 points, 3.0 assists, 3.0 threes, 2.5 boards, 1.5 steals and 1.0 blocks in 28.0 minutes.

Waived by Bulls The Bulls waived Carter on Saturday, Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Muted role continues Carter ended Tuesday's 138-110 victory over the Clippers with three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and one steal over four minutes.

Impact Carter played four minutes during garbage time, continuing what has been a season with very little fanfare. Having only appeared in 21 games, Carter currently sits well outside the top 300 in standard leagues, averaging 5.4 points and 1.4 three-pointers in 11.1 minutes per contest.

Back in rotation Monday Carter registered six points (2-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt), one rebound and one assist over 12 minutes during Monday's 115-101 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Carter saw playing time for the first time in the past three games, and just the third time in the past 13 games. It's been another disappointing season for the veteran, used only in emergencies. In 17 appearances, he has averaged 6.2 points and 1.6 three-pointers in 13.1 minutes per game.
