Caleb Houstan Injury News & Updates
Dec 3, 2025
Available for NBA squad
The Hawks recalled Houstan from the G League, and he will be available for Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Including Houstan, Atlanta has just 10 players available for Wednesday's contest. However, the two-way wing appeared in a G League game Wednesday morning and played over 30 minutes. It's uncertain if he'll be anything more than an emergency option, but it's possible he sees the court in two games today.
Nov 13, 2025
Muted role continues
Houstan produced six points (2-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal over eight minutes during Wednesday's 133-100 win over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Houstan suited up for just the fifth time this season, continuing to play a limited role off the bench. To this point, he has scored a total of just 14 points, with his appearances typically coming during garbage time. There is no reason to consider him an asset, even in deeper formats.
Nov 5, 2025
Sent to G League
Houstan has been assigned to the College Park Skyhawks of the G League, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Houstan signed a two-way deal with the Hawks on Oct. 18, and has appeared in three total games with the team for 4 total minutes, but has yet to register a stat. Houstan will likely split time between the NBA and G League moving forward.
Oct 18, 2025
Earns two-way deal
Houstan signed a two-way contract with the Hawks on Saturday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
This move was inevitable after the Hawks converted Keaton Wallace to a standard deal. Houstan, who previously played with the Magic, left a strong impression on the coaching staff during the preseason. His most notable performance was a 21-point outing on Oct. 13.
Oct 13, 2025
Drops 21 points in preseason win
Houstan notched 21 points (5-11 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one block across 33 minutes in Monday's 119-118 preseason win over the Heat in overtime.
ANALYSIS
Houstan led the second unit in points and finished as Atlanta's second-leading scorer. He was highly efficient from beyond the arc, knocking down a game-high five triples. The 22-year-old forward is likely to provide emergency depth for the Hawks this season after the Magic declined his fourth-year team option. Over 58 regular-season appearances (six starts) with Orlando last season, he averaged 4.1 points and 1.3 rebounds while shooting 40.0 percent from downtown in 13.6 minutes per contest.
Jul 17, 2025
Agrees to deal with Atlanta
Houstan and the Hawks agreed to a one-year deal Thursday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
The Magic previously declined Houstan's team option, allowing him to hit the open market. Houstan made a total of 168 regular-season appearances for the Magic over the past three years, posting averages of 4.1 points and 1.3 rebounds. A career 37.2 percent shooter from beyond the arc, Houstan will by vying for a role at the edge of Atlanta's rotation.
Jun 29, 2025
Option declined by Orlando
The Magic will decline Houstan's team option, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Orlando will retain Bird Rights over Houstan, and while they will not pick up his $2.1 million option, the two sides could still strike a deal when free agency begins. Houstan came off the bench for most of the season but did start in six of 58 regular-season games and averaged 4.1 points, 1.3 rebounds and 0.6 assist over 13.6 minutes per contest.
Apr 11, 2025
Starting Friday
Houstan is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
The Magic will rest most of their regular starters for this matchup, meaning Houstan has been promoted to a starting role. He'll feature in the first unit alongside Cory Joseph, Gary Harris, Tristan Da Silva and Goga Bitadze.
Mar 29, 2025
Catches fire from deep in win
Houstan supplied 18 points (6-7 FG, 6-7 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists across 25 minutes during Saturday's 121-91 victory over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Houstan led the second unit in points, tying his highest scoring output of the month while drilling six three-pointers. The third-year forward filled in as a starter earlier this year when Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner were sidelined, but Houstan has averaged only 6.5 points, 1.3 rebounds, 0.7 steals and 1.9 three-pointers in 14.6 minutes across 12 games this month and doesn't carry much fantasy appeal while the two star forwards are healthy.
Mar 26, 2025
Notches 12 points
Houstan had 12 points (4-7 FG, 4-6 3Pt) in 23 minutes during Tuesday's 111-104 win over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
This was Houstan's second game since the beginning of February with double-digit points, so this performance was an outlier. He's been a minimal part of the rotation recently, averaging 5.3 points, 1.2 rebounds and 1.4 three-pointers in 12.6 minutes across 10 March appearances.
Mar 15, 2025
Pops for 18 points
Houstan provided 18 points (6-9 FG, 6-8 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and four steals over 27 minutes during Friday's 118-111 loss to the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Houstan scored a season-high 18 points, adding four thefts, also marking a season-best. With Kentavious Caldwell-Pope resting, Houstan played at least 25 minutes for just the sixth time this season. Prior to Friday, he had scored a total of just 19 points in his previous six games.
Mar 7, 2025
Sees floor in loss
Houstan closed with three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and two rebounds across eight minutes during Thursday's 125-123 loss to the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Houstan saw the court after sitting out of the club's last three outings due to a coach's decision. The 22-year-old forward has received a DNP via a coach's decision in seven of the club's last 13 outings. However, Houstan could continue to crack the rotation if Jonathan Isaac (illness) remains out for Saturday's game against the Bucks.
Feb 4, 2025
Off injury report for Wednesday
Houstan (illness) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Kings, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Houstan missed Monday's loss to the Warriors due to the illness, though he'll be available to return Wednesday. The 22-year-old has received inconsistent playing time of late, and over his last five outings, he has averaged 2.2 points and 2.0 rebounds in 15.0 minutes per game off the bench.
Feb 4, 2025
Sits Monday with illness
Houstan was inactive for Monday's 104-99 loss to the Warriors due to an illness.
ANALYSIS
Houstan recently dropped out of the Orlando rotation, logging just five minutes in total over the Magic's previous four games before the illness kept him from suiting up Monday. Even if he moves past the illness ahead of the Magic's next game Wednesday in Sacramento, he likely won't be in store for any playing time.
Jan 15, 2025
Back to bench
Houstan isn't part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Milwaukee, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Houstan filled in for Kentavious Caldwell-Pope in the first unit during Orlando's previous game, but he'll rejoin the reserves Wednesday with Caldwell-Pope healthy. Houstan is averaging 2.8 points across 11.1 minutes per game this season.
Jan 12, 2025
Starting Sunday
Houstan is in the Magic's starting lineup against the 76ers on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Houstan started in four straight games before returning to the bench against the Bucks on Friday due to the return of Paolo Banchero (oblique). However, Houstan will re-enter the starting five Sunday due to the absence of Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (knee). Over his last five outings, Houstan has averaged 6.8 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists over 25.4 minutes per game.
Jan 10, 2025
Back to bench Friday
Houstan isn't in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
With star forward Paolo Banchero (oblique) making his long-awaited return to the mix for the Magic on Friday, Houstan will be the odd man out and revert back to the second unit. Houstan has barely been a factor when operating from Orlando's bench this season, as he's averaged 1.8 points, 0.5 rebounds and 0.2 assists in 7.2 minutes over 22 games as a reserve, meaning he'll likely fade back to fantasy irrelevance against Milwaukee.
Jan 9, 2025
Leads from deep in season-best game
Houstan put forth 14 points (4-7 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one assist over 33 minutes in Thursday's 104-89 loss to Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Houstan provided a spark to Orlando from beyond the arc in Thursday's contest, leading all players in shots made from three while concluding as one of five players with a double-digit point total. Houstan set new season high marks in scoring and threes made, having reached double figures in scoring one other time while connecting on three or more threes on two other occasions.
Jan 3, 2025
First start of season Friday
Houstan is starting Friday's game against the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Houstan will make his first start of the season for the Magic on Friday, replacing Wendell Carter Jr. in the first unit. Houstan averaged 7.4 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 2.2 threes in 23.8 minutes over 13 games as a starter last season with Orlando, so his fantasy value is likely to remain muted outside of three-point shooting.
Dec 29, 2024
Sets season high in scoring in win
Houstan racked up 12 points (3-5 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one assist and one steal in 15 minutes during Sunday's 102-101 win over Brooklyn.
ANALYSIS
Houstan made the most of his minutes off the bench Sunday, connecting on a trio of threes while leading all Magic bench players in scoring in a double-digit outing. Houstan set a new season-high point total in the victory, his first double-digit performance of the season. He also set a season high in threes made, connecting on two or more threes in three contests.
Dec 15, 2024
Returns to NBA
Orlando recalled Houstan from the G League's Osceola Magic on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Houstan posted 14 points (5-13 FG, 4-10 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists and two steals in 36 minutes during Osceola's 122-111 G League win over the Rio Grande Valley Vipers on Saturday. He's appeared in four of Orlando's first six games in December, but he's played double-digit minutes at the NBA level only once this season.
Dec 14, 2024
Assigned to G League
The Magic assigned Houstan to the G League's Osceola Magic on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Houstan has spent most of the season with Orlando in the NBA, averaging 1.2 points in 5.5 minutes across 17 appearances. However, Houstan will likely play in the Osceola Magic's G League game against the Vipers on Saturday.
Dec 12, 2024
Recalled from G League
The Magic recalled Houstan from the G League's Osceola Magic on Thursday, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Orlando doesn't have any games scheduled until Sunday, so Houstan will likely join the NBA club to get a few practices in. He hasn't been able to carve out a role in the Magic's rotation this season, averaging 1.2 points in 5.5 minutes per game (17 appearances).
Nov 15, 2024
Returns to NBA
The Magic recalled Houstan from the G League's Osceola Magic on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Houston is back with Orlando after he recorded 10 points, seven rebounds, seven assists, one steal and one block Thursday for Osceola in its game against the Mexico City Capitanes. In his eight NBA appearances this season, Houstan is averaging just 1.0 points in 5.3 minutes.
Apr 12, 2024
Heads back to bench
Houstan isn't in the starting five for Friday's game versus the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Franz Wagner will replace Houstan in the starting five Friday after missing Orlando's last two contests with an ankle injury. Houstan is averaging 3.4 points in 13.0 minutes across his previous five appearances coming off the bench.
Apr 10, 2024
Starting Wednesday
Houstan will move into the starting lineup for Wednesday's matchup with Milwaukee.
ANALYSIS
Houstan is getting the spot start with Franz Wagner (ankle) unavailable, and he'll be joined in the first unit by Markelle Fultz, Jalen Suggs, Paolo Banchero and Wendell Carter Jr. Over 12 starts this season, Houstan has registered averages of 8.0 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.3 triples on 36.9 percent shooting.
Apr 8, 2024
Available to play
Houstan (ankle) will be available for Tuesday's game against Houston.
ANALYSIS
Houstan has missed the past four games for Orlando, but he's officially off the injury report. That's good news for the Magic, as Franz Wagner (ankle) and Jonathan Isaac (back) are both considered questionable.
Apr 7, 2024
Ruled out Sunday
Houstan (ankle) is unavailable Sunday versus Chicago, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Houstan will miss his fourth consecutive game due to a right angle sprain, with his next opportunity to take the court coming Tuesday versus Houston. Moritz Wagner could see a few extra minutes, while the floor spacing of Gary Harris and Joe Ingles becomes increasingly important to Orlando's rotation.
Apr 6, 2024
Iffy for Sunday
Houstan (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Houstan is in danger of his missing his fourth straight contest Sunday due to a right ankle sprain. If Houstan is ruled, Jonathan Isaac should keep receiving increased minutes against Chicago.
Apr 5, 2024
Ruled out for Friday
Houstan (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Charlotte.
ANALYSIS
Houstan continues to deal with a right ankle sprain and will be sidelined for a third consecutive matchup. Jonathan Isaac should continue to see increased run Friday.
Apr 4, 2024
Iffy against Charlotte
Houstan (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Houstan is in danger of missing his third straight contest Friday due to a right ankle sprain. Jonathan Isaac will likely continue to receive increased playing time if Houstan is ruled out against Charlotte.
Apr 3, 2024
Won't play Wednesday
Houstan (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Houstan will miss a second straight game due to right ankle soreness. His next chance to suit up will come Friday in Charlotte.
Apr 2, 2024
Questionable for Wednesday
Houstan (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against New Orleans.
ANALYSIS
Houstan is at risk of missing his second consecutive game due to right ankle soreness. If he is ultimately unable to suit up, Jonathan Isaac could see an uptick in minute share, but typical rotation contributors such as Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner would likely absorb the vacated minutes.
Apr 1, 2024
Downgraded to out
Houstan (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers, Dan Savage of the Magic's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
With Gary Harris (foot) out, Houstan drew a spot start Saturday against Memphis and posted nine points in 21 minutes. However, he also suffered an ankle injury during that contest and will miss at least one additional game. Houstan's next chance to suit up will come Wednesday in New Orleans.
Apr 1, 2024
Questionable for Monday
Houstan is questionable for Monday's game against Portland due to right ankle soreness, Wendell Epps of Bally Sports Florida reports.
ANALYSIS
This is a new injury for Houstan, though it does appear to be a day-to-day issue. Houstan started Saturday's game against Memphis in place of Gary Harris (rest), finishing with nine points, one rebound and three triples in 21 minutes.
Mar 30, 2024
Starting against Memphis
Houstan will start Saturday's game against Memphis, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Gary Harris (foot) isn't sitting out Saturday, but it's just a precaution for the second leg of this back-to-back set. In 11 starts this season, Houstan averaged 7.9 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 2.3 three-pointers.
Mar 27, 2024
Available off bench
Houstan (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Warriors, Dan Savage of the Magic's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Houstan exited Saturday's game against Sacramento due to an ankle injury and didn't practice Tuesday, but he'll be able to suit up against the Warriors. He drew the start Saturday since Gary Harris (foot) was sidelined, but Houstan will come off the bench Wednesday since Markelle Fultz will draw the start.
Mar 26, 2024
Trending in wrong direction
Houstan (ankle) did not practice Tuesday in advance of Wednesday's contest versus Golden State , Wendell Epps of Bally Sports Florida reports.
ANALYSIS
Houstan has been unable to ramp up after suffering left ankle soreness in Saturday's loss to Sacramento. Anthony Black and Chuma Okeke are candidates to step into fringe rotation roles if Houstan can't suit up Wednesday.
Mar 25, 2024
Absent from Monday's practice
Houstan (ankle) didn't participate in Monday's practice session, Philip Rossman-Reich of OrlandoMagicDaily.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Houstan sustained a left ankle injury Saturday against the Kings, and his absence from practice two days later isn't encouraging. Whether he'll be available Wednesday against Golden State remains to be seen.
Mar 23, 2024
Won't return Saturday
Houston won't return to Saturday's game against the Kings due to left ankle soreness, Cody Taylor of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Houstan won't play in the second half of Saturday's matchup, and he leaves the game having posted six points (2-5 FG, 2-5 3Pt), two rebounds and a steal across 11 minutes. It wouldn't be surprising if the injury forces him to miss at least one more game. He'll have three days to recover before the Magic take on the Warriors on Wednesday.
Mar 23, 2024
Heads to locker room
Houstan exited Saturday's game against the Kings during the first half and went to the locker room due to an undisclosed injury, Wendell Epps of Bally Sports Florida reports.
ANALYSIS
Houstan left the game and went straight to the locker room in the dying moments of the first half, but it's uncertain if he'll return for the second half. If he doesn't, then Anthony Black could be in line to see more minutes.
Mar 23, 2024
Gets starting nod
Houstan is in the starting five for Saturday's game versus the Kings, Wendell Epps of Bally Sports Florida reports.
ANALYSIS
Houstan will replace Gary Harris (foot) in the starting lineup Saturday. Houstan is averaging 3.6 points and 2.4 rebounds in 21.4 minutes across his last five starting appearances.
Mar 13, 2024
Returns to bench
Houstan isn't in the starting five for Wednesday's game versus the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Jalen Suggs will replace Houstan in the starting lineup Wednesday. Houstan is averaging 1.0 points in 5.4 minutes across his last five appearances coming off the bench.
Mar 10, 2024
Moves into starting lineup
Houstan will start Sunday's game against the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
With Jalen Suggs (thigh) and Markelle Fultz (knee) out again, Houstan will replace Anthony Black in the starting lineup. Across nine starts this season, Houstan has averaged 9.0 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 27.0 minutes per game.
Feb 29, 2024
Retreats to bench
Houstan isn't starting Thursday's game against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Houstan started Tuesday's game against the Nets, but he'll retreat to the bench Thursday since Paolo Banchero (illness) has been cleared to return. Houstan has been an inconsistent part of Orlando's rotation in recent weeks, so it's unclear how much playing time he'll see now that most of the team's key contributors are back in action.
Feb 27, 2024
Gets starting nod
Houstan is in the starting five for Tuesdays game versus the Nets, Dan Savage of the Magic's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Houstan will replace Paolo Banchero (illness) in the starting lineup Tuesday. Houstan is averaging 6.0 points and 1.6 rebounds in 22.0 minutes across his previous five starting appearances.
Feb 22, 2024
Moves back to bench
Houstan isn't in the starting five for Thursday's game versus the Cavaliers, Dan Savage of the Magic's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Gary Harris will replace Houstan in the starting lineup Thursday. Houstan is averaging 2.4 points in 6.8 minutes in his last five appearances coming off the bench.
Feb 15, 2024
Doesn't do much in start Wednesday
Houstan ended with six points (2-3 FG, 2-2 3Pt) in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 118-100 victory over the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Houstan was inserted into the starting lineup Wednesday with Markelle Fultz (rest), Jalen Suggs (groin) and Gary Harris (calf) all sidelined. Houstan's 25 minutes played were his most since Jan. 22 against the Cavaliers, but that didn't translate into more opportunities on the offensive end of the floor, though he was efficient with his shots. He figures to return to his bench role following the All-Star break.
Feb 14, 2024
Moves into starting lineup
Houstan will start Wednesday's game against the Knicks, Wendell Epps of Bally Sports Florida reports.
ANALYSIS
With Markelle Fultz (rest), Jalen Suggs (groin) and Gary Harris (calf) all out, Houstan and Anthony Black will move into the starting lineup, while Cole Anthony and Joe Ingles figure to see elevated roles off the bench. As a starter this season (seven games), Houstan has averaged 9.4 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 26.7 minutes, but that includes a 25-point outing (Jan. 7 versus Atlanta) and a scoreless performance (Jan. 19 versus Philadelphia).
Jan 21, 2024
Returns to bench
Houstan won't start Sunday's game against the Heat, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
With Markelle Fultz, Franz Wagner and Wendell Carter returning to the starting lineup, Houstan, Chuma Okeke and Goga Bitadze will all head back to the bench. Across 26 appearances as a reserve, Houstan has averaged 4.1 points and 1.6 rebounds in 13.2 minutes per game.
Jan 14, 2024
Scores 14 points in loss
Houstan contributed 14 points (5-13 FG, 4-12 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Saturday's 112-100 loss to the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Houstan started for the fourth consecutive game and reached double-digit points for the second time in that span, though fantasy managers need to temper the expectations with him. Houstan is only seeing minutes due to the team's overall lack of depth due to injuries, and the fact that he's been held to single digits in two of his four starts suggests he's not going to have a prominent role on offense even with expanded minutes.
Jan 8, 2024
Impressive against Atlanta
Houstan totaled 25 points (8-15 FG, 7-14 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, four assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Sunday's 117-110 overtime win over the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Houstan made a substantial impact in his first start of the season, exploding for a season-high 25 points and looking quite comfortable while logging heavy minutes with the first unit. Houstan might see an uptick in his fantasy value as long as he remains in the starting lineup, though that's only happening due to the absences of Franz Wagner (ankle) and Gary Harris (calf). His long-term projection continues to be a bench role.
Jan 7, 2024
Moves into starting lineup
Houstan will start Sunday's game against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
With Franz Wagner (ankle) out and Anthony Black nursing an illness, Houstan will make his first start of the season. Houstan has played at least 20 minutes six times this year, averaging 7.0 points and 2.8 rebounds across those contests.
Jan 4, 2024
Strong from deep in season high
Houstan notched 15 points (4-6 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, one assist and four steals in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 138-135 double-overtime loss to Sacramento.
ANALYSIS
Houstan led all Magic bench players in threes made and scoring while swiping a team-high steals mark and tallying a season-high point total in a double-overtime defeat. Houstan tallied his first double-digit contest of the year, notching at least eight points off the bench in four contests for Orlando.
Jan 3, 2024
Falling out of rotation
Houstan totaled six points (2-3 FG, 2-3 3Pt) and one rebound over eight minutes during Tuesday's 121-115 loss to the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
From Nov. 26 through Dec. 29, Houstan played in 13 of Orlando's 15 contests and saw double-digit minutes in each appearance, averaging 4.5 points and 2.3 rebounds in 16.5 minutes per game. However, he totaled just 15 minutes over the last two games and will fall even farther down the depth chart when Joe Ingles (ankle) and Jonathan Isaac (hamstring) return to action.
Nov 30, 2023
Scores nine points in win
Houstan finished with nine points (3-3 FG, 3-3 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist in 10 minutes during Wednesday's 139-120 victory over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Houstan logged at least nine minutes for the third straight game, scoring a season-high nine points. While he has been featured in the rotation over the past week, his production has left a little to be desired. At this point, there is no need to consider him outside of the deepest leagues.
Oct 17, 2023
Cleared to return
Houstan (knee is active for Tuesday's preseason contest against the Pelicans, Philip Rossman-Reich of OrlandoMagicDaily.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Houstan was sidelined for Thursday's preseason game against Cleveland due to a right ankle sprain. Orlando's frontcourt is fully healthy for Tuesday's preseason affair, so Houstan's role should resemble his regular-season expectations.
Oct 12, 2023
Won't play Thursday
Houstan has been ruled out for Thursday's preseason game against the Cavaliers due to a right ankle sprain, Dan Savage of the Magic's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Houstan didn't play in Tuesday's preseason opener against New Orleans and is apparently dealing with a sprained right ankle. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return, but his next chance to suit up will be Oct. 17 against New Orleans.
Apr 9, 2023
Starting in season finale
Houstan is in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Heat, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Houstan started against the Cavaliers on Thursday and scored eight points, and while he moved back to a bench role Friday against the Nets, he still logged 26 minutes. He should be right around those numbers in the season's final game for Orlando. Houstan is averaging 7.3 points and 4.7 rebounds per contest in his previous three starts.
Apr 7, 2023
Returns to bench role
Houstan will not start Friday's game versus the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Houstan received a spot start Thursday versus the Cavaliers but will return to a bench role Friday with Markelle Fultz (knee) and Franz Wagner (ankle) rejoining the action. After playing 30 minutes Thursday, expect Houstan's workload to decline, given that he's back in his reserve role, though there still are some players sitting out for Orlando.
Apr 6, 2023
Will start Thursday
Houstan will start Thursday's game against the Cavaliers, Philip Rossman-Reich of OrlandoMagicDaily.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Magic are resting their entire starting lineup, so Houstan will be joined by Jalen Suggs, Chuma Okeke, Bol Bol and Moritz Wagner in the first five for Orlando's final home game of the campaign. Houstan has made just two other starts this season, totaling 14 points, 12 rebounds, two assists and two steals in 59 minutes during those contests.
Mar 29, 2023
Nothing to see in nine minutes
Houstan had zero points (0-3 FG, 0-3 3Pt) in nine minutes during Tuesday's 113-108 loss to the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Houstan failed to record a single stat in the loss, continuing what has been an unproductive stretch. Despite having played in six consecutive games, he has scored a grand total of eight points, all coming in one game against the Knicks. Based on what we have seen to this point, Houstan is a long way off being fantasy relevant.
Mar 14, 2023
Moves up to NBA
Orlando recalled Houstan from the G League's Lakeland Magic on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
The addition of Houstan ahead of Tuesday's game in San Antonio will afford the Magic some extra depth at forward in the event Franz Wagner (ankle) -- who is listed as questionable -- is unable to play. Even if Wagner is ruled out for the contest, Houstan may still find himself behind Paolo Banchero, Gary Harris and Bol Bol in the pecking order for playing time at either forward spot.
Mar 12, 2023
Assigned to Lakeland
The Magic have assigned Houstan to the G League's Lakeland on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Houstan has played more than 20 minutes just twice since the start of January and doesn't have a clear role in the Magic's rotation, so as things stand now, it seems the best thing for him is to continue progressing and developing at the G League level rather than seeing limited minutes with Orlando.
Mar 5, 2023
Called up from G League
The Magic recalled Houstan from the G League's Lakeland on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Houstan isn't guaranteed to slot into head coach Jamahl Mosley's rotation, but at the very least, he can provide another option off the bench. He's made 36 appearances for the Magic this season, including two starts, and he's averaging 4.1 points with 2.1 rebounds across 15.6 minutes per game in that span.
Feb 28, 2023
Brought back from G League
The Magic recalled Houstan from the G League's Lakeland Magic on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Houstan will give the Magic an additional option off the bench at forward for Wednesday's game in Milwaukee while Jonathan Isaac (hamstring) remains uncertain to play after sitting out both of Orlando's previous two contests. Even if Isaac misses a third straight game, however, Houstan isn't guaranteed to slot into head coach Jamahl Mosley's rotation.
Feb 22, 2023
Sent to G League

He'll make his Lakeland debut Thursday against the Sioux Falls Skyforce.

Starting Monday

ANALYSIS
Houstan will make his first NBA start as the Magic are without both Mo Bamba (back) and Wendell Carter (foot), in addition to several other regulars. The rookie out of Michigan has been a part of the regular rotation thus far, most recently playing 26 minutes off the bench in Sunday's loss to the Sixers.

Nov 28, 2022
Splashes four treys in loss
Houstan contributed a career-high 12 points (4-8 FG, 4-8 3Pt) and added three assists, one rebound and one steal across 26 minutes in Sunday's 133-103 loss to the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Houstan's performance was one of the few positive takeaways on the day for the Magic, who were trailing by 22 points at halftime and gave extended run to the second-unit players over the final two quarters. Given the Magic's lengthy injury report, Houstan should have a path to a regular rotation spot for the foreseeable future, but he's unlikely to regularly surpass 20 minutes in games where Orlando is more competitive.

Houstan tallied two points (1-2 FG) and one steal in 15 minutes during Wednesday's 103-92 loss to the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Houstan picked up four fouls in just 15 minutes, which certainly limited his ability to be productive. The rookie forward's playing time is encouraging, but it appears that he still needs time to adjust to the NBA before he is truly productive.
Oct 15, 2022
Scores 11 points Friday
Houstan ended with 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt), three rebounds and an assist across 15 minutes off the bench in Friday's 114-108 preseason win over the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
The rookie profiles as a three-and-D wing at the NBA level and while there are some questions regarding his role, he can be a decent contributor off the bench if given enough minutes. That said, he is not likely to be a major factor in most fantasy formats due to the lack of clarity regarding his role on a long-term picture.
