Jase Richardson News, Rumors, Updates - Orlando Magic

Out of rotation to end season Richardson averaged 4.4 points, 1.2 rebounds and 1.1 assists per contest in 54 regular-season games during 2025-26.

Impact The rookie first-rounder appeared just once during Orlando's seven-game first-round series with Detroit. If the Magic let Jevon Carter walk away this offseason, Richardson would have a better chance of cracking the Opening Night rotation in 2026-27.

Back in rotation Friday Richardson finished Friday's 121-90 Play-In Game victory over the Hornets with two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists over six minutes.

Impact Richardson made a brief appearance, taking advantage of the fact that the game was a blowout. It continues what has been mostly a disappointing campaign, with Richardson averaging just 4.4 points in 10.8 minutes per game, having suited up for 55 contests.

Scoreless in 18 minutes Richardson finished with zero points (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds and three assists in 18 minutes during Sunday's 139-87 loss to the Raptors.

Impact Richardson couldn't find his rhythm Sunday, but he was shooting the ball well heading into the matchup. Across his last five outings, he's hitting 57.1 percent from the field, but he's getting just 10.9 minutes per contest which keeps him off the fantasy radar.

Returns from G League stint The Magic recalled Richardson from the G League's Osceola Magic on Saturday.

Impact The rookie first-round pick made his second G League appearance of the season Friday in Osceola's 113-106 win over the Delaware Blue Coats, finishing with 17 points (8-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 32 minutes. Richardson will be available for Orlando's home game versus the Lakers on Saturday but isn't expected to be featured in the rotation.

MARCH 21 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Wednesday Richardson (back) is available to play Wednesday against the Cavaliers.

Impact Richardson is all set to return from a two-game absence. He's been used sparingly in recent weeks, but there are more minutes available with Anthony Black (abdomen) on the shelf.

Questionable for Wednesday Richardson (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.

Impact Richardson remains day-to-day after missing the past two games for Orlando. He recently lost his rotation spot to Jevon Carter, but more minutes are up for grabs with Anthony Black (abdomen) sidelined.

MARCH 10 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable Sunday Richardson (back) is unavailable for Sunday's game against the Bucks.

Impact Richardson will be ruled out for a second straight game due to back spasms. With Anthony Black (back) also sidelined, Jett Howard and Jevon Carter could see expanded roles.

MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE

Could return Sunday Richardson (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bucks.

Impact Richardson was unable to play in Saturday's win against Minnesota due to lower-back spasms. The rookie first-rounder has a chance to return for Sunday's contest, and while he's had inconsistent playing time since the All-Star break, Richardson would be in line for a larger role off the bench if Anthony Black (back) was ruled out.

MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with back spasms Richardson has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves due to lower-back spasms.

Impact Richardson will miss the front end of the Magic's back-to-back set and look to return for Sunday's road tilt against the Bucks. The rookie first-rounder has seen inconsistent playing time this season and has averaged just 7.2 minutes per game in five outings since the All-Star break.

Recalled to NBA Orlando recalled Richardson from the G League's Osceola Magic on Friday

Impact Richardson joined Osceola for its 128-111 win over the Cleveland Charge on Friday, during which he recorded 22 points (9-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine assists, three rebounds and one steal in 31 minutes. The rookie first-rounder has totaled just 15 minutes in two appearances over Orlando's last four games, and he isn't guaranteed to see meaningful burn in Sunday's game against Detroit unless multiple key backcourt contributors are sidelined.

Upgraded to available Richardson (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the 76ers.

Impact Richardson is bothered by a sore left ankle, but he's still healthy enough to play Friday. With Jalen Suggs (knee) sidelined, the expectation is that Richardson and Tyus Jones will share the minutes as the backup point guards behind Anthony Black.

Iffy for Friday Richardson is questionable for Friday's game against the 76ers with left ankle soreness.

Impact This is a new injury for Richardson, but the questionable tag suggests that he's day-to-day. He's played well over his last three appearances, posting averages of 13.0 points, 2.3 assists, 1.3 rebounds and 2.0 three-pointers.

Nearly leads late comeback Richardson recorded 20 points (7-12 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds and three assists over 26 minutes during the Magic's 120-112 loss to the Wizards on Tuesday.

Impact Richardson saw most of his playing time in the second half when the game seemed out of reach for the Magic, but the rookie first-rounder ended up leading the team in scoring while contributing to Orlando's late comeback attempt. Richardson has seen extended playing time off the bench in back-to-back games, due in part to the absence of Jalen Suggs (knee). More strong play like Tuesday could earn Richardson more consistent minutes moving forward.

Sees 27 minutes in win Richardson closed with 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), one rebound and four assists over 27 minutes during Sunday's 135-127 victory over the Pacers.

Impact This was a solid showing for Richardson, as he took advantage of some extra minutes with Jalen Suggs sidelined by a MCL contusion. If Suggs continues to miss time, which wouldn't be a surprise, Richardson could be a name to monitor in deeper formats.

Sees 20 minutes Richardson ended Monday's 107-106 loss to the Raptors with seven points (2-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal over 20 minutes.

Impact Richardson is slowly becoming more involved for the Magic in the absence of Franz Wagner (ankle). Over his last seven games, he's seeing 19.3 minutes per contest with averages of 8.1 points, 2.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.9 three-pointers. His fantasy appeal remains limited to deeper formats for the time being.

Notches 11 points Richardson notched 11 points (5-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds, one block and one steal over 22 minutes during Monday's 120-97 loss to the Warriors.

Impact Richardson's involvement is on the rise, though he's mostly just a deep-league fantasy asset for now. Over his last four outings, Richardson has averaged 9.8 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.5 three-pointers in 18.0 minutes per contest.
