Good to go Thursday Caldwell-Pope (hamstring) is available in Thursday's game against the Nuggets, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Impact After being listed as questionable, Caldwell-Pope will shake off left hamstring soreness and be available Thursday to occupy his usual role in Orlando's starting lineup. The veteran swingman has been slumping lately, however, shooting 39.5 percent from the field and 27.3 percent from deep over his last six outings. Caldwell-Pope also hasn't reached double-digit scoring figures in any of these contests.

Iffy for Thursday Caldwell-Pope is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Nuggets due to left hamstring soreness.
Impact Caldwell-Pope is in danger of missing the second leg of Orlando's back-to-back Thursday due to a sore left hamstring. With Jalen Suggs (quadriceps) deemed doubtful, Anthony Black and Cole Anthony could operate as Orlando's starting backcourt if Caldwell-Pope is downgraded to out.

Over his last five appearances, the veteran swingman has averaged 8.8 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 33.6 minutes per contest. In that five-game span, he has shot 45.7 percent from the field and 26.3 percent from downtown.

Impact Caldwell-Pope reached at least 20 points for the fourth time this season, finishing four points shy of his season-best mark (24). Cole Anthony (illness) joined a growing injury report in Orlando, so there were plenty of shots up for grabs Tuesday.

Uncertain for Wednesday Caldwell-Pope (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bucks, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Impact After missing Sunday's game against the 76ers with a strained left knee, Caldwell-Pope practiced Tuesday but remains uncertain to suit up for the Magic on Wednesday. If the veteran swingman cannot play, Caleb Houstan should continue to ride with Orlando's starting lineup against the Bucks but offer limited fantasy appeal outside of three-pointers. Houstan has averaged 6.8 points, 1.6 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 2.0 threes in 24.8 minutes over five games as a starter this season.

Won't return Friday Caldwell-Pope (knee) won't return to Friday's game against the Bucks.
Impact Caldwell-Pope is dealing with left knee soreness, and his night is over after logging three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt) three rebounds and one steal in 11 minutes. The veteran swingman's next shot to return to the Magic comes Sunday against the 76ers.

Efficient shooting in loss Caldwell-Pope contributed 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt), one rebound, two assists, one block and one steal over 33 minutes during Thursday's 104-89 loss to Minnesota.
Impact Caldwell-Pope is coming off back-to-back efficient shooting performances, going 11-for-17 from the field and 6-for-10 from beyond the arc. The veteran guard has had his fair share of struggles in his first season in Orlando, but he may be starting to turn things around near the halfway point of the 2024-25 campaign.

Drains three treys Friday Caldwell-Pope recorded 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt), one rebound, two assists, one block and two steals over 33 minutes during Friday's 106-97 win over Toronto.
Impact Caldwell-Pope has had a subpar season for his standards in 2024-25, but the veteran sharpshooter is showing signs of turning things around, as he's reached the 15-point mark while making multiple treys in his two outings since the calendar flipped to 2025. This is just the second time all season he's scored at least 15 points in two or more consecutive outings, and he might be in line for a bigger role on offense as long as the Magic remain as depleted as they are right now.

Drains three treys Friday Caldwell-Pope recorded 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt), one rebound, two assists, one block and two steals over 33 minutes during Friday's 106-97 win over Toronto.
Impact Caldwell-Pope has had a subpar season for his standards in 2024-25, but the veteran sharpshooter needs to do better offensively for Orlando amid their rush of injuries, especially after missing Jalen Suggs (back) Friday. He's showing signs of turning things around, though, as he's reached the 15-point mark while making multiple treys in his two outings since the calendar flipped to 2025. This is just the second time all season long he's scored at least 15 points in two or more consecutive outings, but he might be in line for a bigger role on offense as long as the Magic remain as depleted as they're right now.

Impact Caldwell-Pope had a solid showing Wednesday, and this ended up being one of his most productive offensive performances of the campaign. The veteran sharpshooter reached the 20-point mark for the third time this season, but despite his struggles, there are reasons to believe he might be ready to turn things around. He's scored in double digits in five of his last seven appearances, a stretch in which he's averaging 12.9 points per game while shooting 43.9 percent from the floor. There's room for improvement, but he seems to be heading in the right direction.
