Scores 12 points off bench Fultz finished with 12 points (6-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds and one steal in 19 minutes during Saturday's 112-89 victory over the Cavaliers in Game 4 of the first round...

Impact After totaling just one point (0-4 FG) in 19 minutes during the two losses in Cleveland, Fultz accumulated 23 points and six rebounds in 36 minutes during the two wins in Orlando. His ability to be a spark plug off the bench may play a vital role in the decisive Game 5 in Cleveland on Tuesday.

Coming off bench Friday Fultz isn't starting Friday's game against the 76ers.

Impact Fultz drew starts in his last two appearances and averaged 12.0 points and 3.0 rebounds in 28.0 minutes per game. However, he'll come off the bench Friday since Gary Harris (foot) and Franz Wagner (ankle) have been cleared to return against Philadelphia.

Available for Wednesday Fultz (knee) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.

Impact Fultz will power through the knee issue, but it's possible he could have his minutes monitored on the second leg of a back-to-back, making him a semi-risky target in daily fantasy leagues.

APRIL 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Wednesday Fultz (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.

Impact Wednesday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, and the Magic tend to be very cautious with Fultz because of his left knee issues. If Fultz is held out Wednesday, guys like Anthony Black and Cole Anthony could see an uptick in minutes.

Starting vs. Houston Fultz will start Tuesday's game against the Rockets, Philip Rossman-Reich of OrlandoMagicDaily.com reports.

Impact Fultz will move to the starting unit and will operate in the point guard role, moving Jalen Suggs and Gary Harris to the wings. Fultz is averaging 9.4 points, 3.6 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game when deployed in a starting role this season.

Improved performance in loss Fultz provided 15 points (6-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, three assists and two steals in 32 minutes during Friday's 124-115 loss to Charlotte.

Impact Fultz logged at least 30 minutes for the first time in more than two months, an encouraging sign given his season thus far. While this could very well be a step in the right direction, managers would need to see him doing this for a prolonged period before adding him in standard formats. At this point, it is simply a wait-and-see situation.

Muted role continues in win Fultz racked up five points (2-3 FG, 1-1 FT), one rebound and one steal across 15 minutes during Wednesday's 117-108 win over the Pelicans.

Impact Fultz managed just 15 minutes in the win, continuing to play as a depth piece in the backcourt. After dealing with a knee injury for much of the season, Fultz has been unable to maintain a steady role. The Magic have outperformed expectations and given they have been able to do it without Fultz on the floor, there is no reason to think his minutes will increase anytime soon.

Good to go against Memphis Fultz (knee) isn't on the injury report for Saturday's game versus the Clippers.

Impact Fultz will return to action Saturday after missing Orlando's previous contest with a left knee injury. Fultz could re-enter the starting lineup against Memphis with Gary Harris (foot) out.

MARCH 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Friday Fultz (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Clippers.

Impact Fultz will miss the first half of Orlando's back-to-back set due to left knee injury management, and his status for Saturday's matchup against the Grizzlies is unclear. Gary Harris (foot) should reclaim his spot in the starting lineup in Fultz's absence.

MARCH 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Added to injury report Fultz is questionable for Friday's game against the Clippers due to left knee injury management.

Impact Fultz wasn't on Orlando's initial injury report for Friday's matchup, but he continues to deal with a knee issue. The Magic play a back-to-back set Friday against the Clippers and Saturday against Memphis, and the team could choose to rest him in one of those matchups. If Fultz suits up Friday, it wouldn't be surprising to see him take on a bench role since Gary Harris (foot) has been cleared to return.

MARCH 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Does little in start vs. Warriors Fultz posted four points (2-5 FG), one rebound, one block and one steal in 16 minutes during Wednesday's 101-93 loss to the Warriors.

Impact Fultz made his first start since Feb. 13 while Caleb Houstan (ankle) came off the bench Wednesday. Fultz wasn't able to take advantage of the opportunity, however, and he has failed to reach double-digit scoring in each of his last six games. He's averaging 7.5 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.9 assists over 21.4 minutes per game this season.

Will start Wednesday Fultz will start Wednesday's game against the Warriors, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Impact Caleb Houstan (ankle) has been upgraded to available but will operate off the bench, while Fultz will make his first start since Feb. 13. In 15 starts this season, Fultz has averaged 9.7 points, 3.8 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 25.7 minutes per game.

Rough season continues Saturday Fultz produced four points (2-5 FG), one rebound, two assists and two steals in 19 minutes during Saturday's 109-107 loss to the Kings.

Impact Fultz continues to play a limited role off the bench, providing nothing in terms of tangible production on most nights. Saturday was no different, ensuring he remains on the waiver wire in all but the deepest of leagues.

Cleared for Wednesday Fultz (knee) has been removed from the injury report in advance of Wednesday's game against Brooklyn.

Impact Fultz and Jalen Suggs (thigh) have both been cleared for action Wednesday. Fultz will return from a one-game absence due to his latest knee flare-up, although he has not exceeded 19 minutes of action in any of his last four appearances, and Orlando will likely cautiously monitor his workload.

MARCH 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Goes through practice Fultz (knee) participated at Tuesday's practice, Dan Savage of the Magic's official site reports.

Impact Jalen Suggs (thigh) also practiced, and there should be more clarity regarding their availability for Wednesday's game versus Brooklyn when the Magic release their injury report Tuesday evening. Fultz has had some tough luck with his left knee, so he could have restrictions if he gets the green light.

Won't play Sunday Fultz (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pacers, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Impact Fultz and Jalen Suggs (thigh) have both been downgraded to out after being listed as questionable, opening up more minutes for Anthony Black, Cole Anthony and Gary Harris. However, as usual, Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner will presumably pace Orlando's offense.

MARCH 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as questionable Fultz is questionable for Sunday's game against Indiana with a left knee strain.

Impact Fultz tweaked his left knee during Friday's game after colliding with a player. The left knee is the one that has been giving him problems for a while now, so the Magic may err on the side of caution. The timing isn't ideal for Orlando, as Jalen Suggs (thigh) is also questionable.

MARCH 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Plays nine minutes due to injury Fultz played just nine minutes versus the Knicks on Friday due to an undisclosed injury. He finished with two points and one rebound.

Impact Fultz collided with a player and was slow to get up, and it looked like he was holding his knee. Orlando didn't announce anything official regarding the injury, but coach Jamahl Mosley said the guard will be evaluated when the team returns home from their trip, according to Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel. Fantasy managers will have to wait until Saturday for more clarity.

MARCH 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Wednesday Fultz (rest) isn't on the injury report for Wednesday's game versus the Hornets.

Impact Fultz will return to action Wednesday after sitting out the first leg of Orlando's back-to-back for rest purposes. With Gary Harris (calf) questionable, Fultz could be in store for increased playing time.
