Impact This was a solid start to Caldwell-Pope's Memphis career.

He's certainly someone to monitor closely as a source of efficient three-pointers with plenty of steals.

Impact Caldwell-Pope signed a two-year, $44.38 million deal with the Magic last offseason, which included a team option for 2026-27, but his lone season in Orlando didn't go as planned.
