Availability
Jase Richardson (ankle) will be good to go for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans.
Fantasy Impact
Richardson is no longer listed on Orlando's injury report and seems to be fully over his ankle issue at this point. Look for him to continue to benefit from the continued absence of Jalen Suggs (knee) for the foreseeable future.
Jase Richardson (ankle) is available to play on Friday.
Fantasy Impact
Richardson missed Wednesday's game due to an ankle issue, but the rookie played over 25 minutes in each of the prior two contests. With Jalen Suggs (knee) still out, Richardson could see substantial playing time once again.
Jase Richardson (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.
Fantasy Impact
The rookie is uncertain to play on Friday due to an ankle injury that he recently suffered. He seems to be heating up at this point in the season, but this injury could slow his momentum if he misses time because of it. Look for Anthony Black and Tyus Jones to see more work if that's the case.
Jase Richardson reached the 20-point milestone for the first time in his rookie season Tuesday, finishing with 20 points (7-of-12 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), three three-pointers, three assists, and three rebounds in Orlando's loss to the Wizards. The rookie and Orlando's other reserves sparked a fourth-quarter rally that pulled the Magic to within two points with just over five minutes remaining.
Fantasy Impact
Their inspired play earned them extended run, with head coach Jamahl Mosley riding his bench unit for the entire fourth quarter. While that decision may have contributed to Orlando running out of gas late, Richardson's breakthrough performance provides encouragement. With Jalen Suggs and Franz Wagner still sidelined, he'll have continued opportunities to make an impact off the bench.
Jase Richardson scored 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3P, 0-1 FT) with a rebound and four assists in the Magic's 135-127 win over the Pacers on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
Richardson has had stretches of games this season, but nothing that gives confidence that his will be anything predictive. He's best left on the waiver wire.
