Howard

Howard missed the final five games of the regular season but will be available for Orlando’s first game of the play-in tournament. If he sees the floor, it will likely only be in a limited capacity off the bench.

While Howard did not go through any contact work during Tuesday’s practice, his status has been upgraded to questionable. He’s been out since April 3, and a return to action would have minimal impact on Orlando’s wing rotation, so don’t expect too much from Howard if he’s available.

Howard and Isaac have made progress in their respective recoveries, but neither has reached the point where they’ll be available for games. Given the lack of contact during Tuesday’s practice, the Magic may not have either player at their disposal until the playoffs if Orlando qualifies. Both are out for Wednesday’s Play-In Tournament game against the 76ers.

Howard sprained his ankle during an April 3 game against the Mavericks and has not played since. His absence does not significantly affect the Magic rotation, especially with Franz Wagner and Tristan da Silva available.

Injured during an April 3 win over the Mavericks, Howard has missed Orlando’s last four games. His availability does not significantly impact the team’s wing rotation now that Franz Wagner has returned from his ankle injury.

Howard will miss a fourth consecutive game on Friday as he deals with a sprained left ankle. His continued absence will not significantly impact the Magic rotation.

Wednesday’s game will be the third that Howard has missed with a sprained left ankle. Franz Wagner and Tristan da Silva are available, so the Magic will have the depth needed to account for Howard’s continued absence.

Howard will miss a second consecutive game as he deals with a sprained left ankle. Jamal Cain played 28 minutes off the bench in Sunday’s win over the Pelicans and should take on a similar workload on Monday.

A late addition to Orlando’s injury report, Howard will not play on Sunday due to a sprained left ankle. His absence leaves the Magic with one less option on the wings, but it does not affect fantasy basketball.

Howard is back after sitting out Saturday’s win over the Heat. Most, if not all, of his playing time is likely coming at Jamal Cain’s expense. Cain played 19 minutes off the bench on Saturday.
