Returns to G League Hampton was assigned to the Lakeland Magic on Saturday.

Impact Hampton has struggled to break the NBA rotation and hasn't appeared in a game since Jan. 20. He will have ample opportunity to see the court in the G League.

Returns to NBA club Orlando recalled Hampton from the G League's Lakeland Magic on Monday.

Impact Hampton will rejoin the NBA team ahead of Tuesday's game against the Knicks after a brief stint in the G League. He played 31 minutes for Lakeland in Sunday's 122-121 loss to the Mexico City Capitanes, finishing with 30 points (11-23 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds and two assists.

Leads both teams in scoring Sunday Hampton recorded 30 points (11-23 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 31 minutes during Sunday's 122-121 loss to the Capitanes.

Impact Hampton paced both squads with his 30-point scoring effort Sunday, but he was ultimately rather quiet in all other areas. The 6-foot-4 guard is now averaging 22.4 points per game across his nine appearances with Lakeland this season.

FEBRUARY 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back to NBA Orlando recalled Hampton to the NBA club from the G League's Lakeland Magic on Sunday.

Impact The Magic elevated Hampton and Caleb Houstan to the NBA squad Sunday, and both will presumably be available for Monday's matchup against Philadelphia. Hampton is averaging 5.7 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 13.9 minutes across 26 appearances this season, but he hasn't played more than 10 minutes in an NBA game since Nov. 28.

Assigned to G League Hampton was assigned to the G League's Lakeland Magic on Friday.

Impact Hampton hasn't been part of Orlando's rotation recently, so his move to the G League should allow him to see more playing time. Over four appearances with Lakeland, he's averaged 23.8 points and 5.3 rebounds in 28.3 minutes per game.

JANUARY 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Off injury report The Magic don't include Hampton (illness) on the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Celtics, Khobi Price of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Impact Hampton thus looks on track to be available Monday after he sat out Saturday's 138-118 loss to the Wizards due to a non-COVID-19-related illness. Even though he'll suit up Monday, Hampton hasn't been a regular part of head coach Jamahl Mosley's rotation and isn't likely to see the floor outside of a garbage-time situation.

JANUARY 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Officially ruled out Hampton (illness) will not play in Saturday's game against the Wizards.

Impact Although Hampton was added to the official injury report with a questionable tag due to a non-COVID illness, the team has made the decision to give him the night off. Hampton's next chance to play will come Monday against the Celtics.

JANUARY 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Added to injury report Hampton is now questionable for Saturday's game against Washington due to an illness, Khobi Price of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Impact Hampton's late addition to the injury report does not bode well for his availability Saturday. However, the guard is just a depth piece for Orlando, so his potential absence would have minimal impact on the team's rotation.

JANUARY 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to G League The Magic assigned Hampton to the Lakeland Magic of the G League on Thursday, Khobi Price of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Impact Hampton requested the assignment in order to get more playing time in the G League. The 21-year-old guard has seen inconsistent minutes with Orlando. Hampton is expected to be recalled Sunday in time for Orlando's West Coast trip.

JANUARY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Suspended one game Hampton has been suspended for Friday's game against the Wizards.

Impact The NBA suspended Hampton and seven of his teammates for leaving the bench area during an altercation Wednesday against the Knicks. He'll be eligible to return Jan. 4 against Oklahoma City after serving his one-game ban.

DECEMBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Called up Saturday Hampton was recalled from the G League affiliate Lakeland Magic on Saturday.

Impact Hampton has played an inconsequential role in the Magic rotation since Markelle Fultz returned to action. He has appeared in just three games since Nov 30 and is averaging 5.3 minutes per game. Hampton's call-up will likely have no fantasy impact.

Assigned to G League Hampton was assigned to the G League's Lakeland Magic on Wednesday, Khobi Price of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Impact Hampton has fallen out of Orlando's rotation recently, as he appeared in just two of the team's last six games. He requested his move to the G League to get more playing time, but he should be in the mix to rejoin the parent club to provide depth if Orlando deals with injuries at some point.

DECEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Magic's R.J. Hampton embraces uncertainty, not worried about role or future R.J. Hampton, who didn't have his 2023-24 option picked up, has been more efficient but his role doesn't reflect that progress.

NOVEMBER 30, 2022 • ORLANDOSENTINEL.COM

Finishes in double figures Hampton posted 10 points (4-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one steal over 29 minutes during Friday's 107-99 loss to Philadelphia.

Impact Hampton got off to a strong start in this one, knocking down three of his first five attempts from the field in the first half. He's scored in double figures in two of his last three contests and has also recorded at least one steal in each matchup over this brief stretch. Hampton has logged 20-plus minutes in three straight games after averaging 14.4 minutes through his first 13 games of the 2022-23 campaign. However, with Markelle Fultz (toe) on the verge of a return, Hampton's role could be reduced.

Fourth-year option declined The Magic declined Hampton's $4.2 million team option for the 2023-24 season Monday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Impact Hampton has had an inconsistent role for Orlando early in the 2022-23 campaign, as he's averaged 5.3 points and 2.0 rebounds in 15.0 minutes per game. The 21-year-old will now become an unrestricted free agent following this season.

Logs seven minutes Monday Hampton amassed zero points (0-1 FG) across seven minutes during Monday's 115-102 loss to the Knicks.

Impact Hampton continues to find himself on the outside looking in when it comes to playing time, barely touching the floor in the loss. Given the Magic are still without two of their primary guard options, it's reasonable to assume Hampton could find himself out of the rotation completely at some point in the near future.
