Jett Howard Injury News & Updates
Nov 26, 2025
Pops for 13 points in win
Howard recorded 13 points (5-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 18 minutes during Tuesday's 144-103 victory over Philadelphia.
ANALYSIS
Howard saw an uptick in playing time for the second straight game, recording 13 points, fresh off his 30-point performance only 48 hours earlier. While it is good to see Howard playing meaningful minutes, it is unlikely to be a trend moving forward, based on what we have seen during his previous 12 appearances.
Nov 23, 2025
Steps up in loss
Howard finished with 30 points (11-23 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds and three assists in 29 minutes during Sunday's 138-129 loss to Boston.
ANALYSIS
Howard was asked to step up with Wendell Carter (ankle), Goga Bitadze (ankle) and Paolo Banchero (groin) all unavailable Sunday, and he didn't disappoint. He put together his best showing of the 2025-26 campaign, setting season highs in points, made threes, rebounds and assists. However, this was likely a temporary burst of production from the 22-year-old.
Nov 17, 2025
Logs 20 minutes in loss
Howard racked up five points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 20 minutes during Sunday's 117-113 overtime loss to Houston.
ANALYSIS
Despite not having a consistent role in Orlando, Howard ended up leading the second unit in points and minutes played Sunday, even though the bench as a whole did not produce much at all. As long as Paolo Banchero (groin) is sidelined, expect Howard to back up Tristan da Silva until he returns.
Oct 29, 2025
Team option declined
The Magic declined Howard's fourth-year team option Wednesday, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
This move isn't a big surprise, as Howard has struggled to find a role in Orlando. This means he's set to become an unrestricted free agent next offseason, and the Magic may now be more willing to potentially move him before the deadline.
Oct 25, 2025
Little impact in loss
Howard racked up three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt) in four minutes during Friday's 111-107 loss to the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Howard didn't get much time on the floor in a losing effort for his squad. He recorded the fewest minutes among the players on his team who played Friday.
Oct 12, 2025
Posts efficient night off bench
Howard recorded 11 points (3-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one block across 19 minutes during Sunday's 120-104 preseason win over Miami.
ANALYSIS
Howard managed to put up double figures despite seeing limited opportunities on the offensive end, and he found ways to contribute across the board. The 22-year-old put up nine points but was held without a rebound or assist in Friday's exhibition against the 76ers, so it was a great sign to see him get involved outside of scoring the basketball. Howard has a chance to carve out a role for himself in Orlando's rotation, though he faces stiff competition in Jase Richardson, Jonathan Isaac and Tristan da Silva.
Apr 11, 2025
Drops 17 points Friday
Howard recorded 17 points (7-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-3 FT), one assist and one block over 30 minutes before fouling out of Friday's 129-115 victory over the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Howard tallied 15 points in the win, scoring at least 15 points for just the second time all season. It's been an underwhelming campaign for Howard, failing to reach any great heights. Through 59 games, he is averaging 4.3 points and 0.9 three-pointers in 11.3 minutes per contest.
Mar 15, 2025
Unproductive again Friday
Howard finished with two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound over four minutes during Friday's 118-111 loss to Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Howard continues to be a non-factor for the Magic, having now scored single digits in 17 straight games. Despite a number of injuries which has resulted in a lack of backcourt depth, Howard has been unable to capitalize. Across 55 games played, he is averaging just 4.1 points and 0.9 three-pointers in 11.2 minutes.
Feb 28, 2025
Logs 20 minutes
Howard totaled six points (2-4 FG, 2-4 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal in 20 minutes in Thursday's 121-115 loss to the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Howard saw 20-plus minutes of action for the second time this month in Thursday's loss. The Magic are trying to push the right buttons to get the most out of the 2023 No. 11 pick, who has struggled to consistently produce. In his last 10 games, the 21-year-old is averaging 3.6 points on 32.5 percent shooting in 13.3 minutes per game.
Feb 12, 2025
Across-the-board effort
Howard notched six points (2-8 FG, 2-8 3Pt), two rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 102-86 victory over Charlotte.
ANALYSIS
Howard started the second half after Kentavious Caldwell-Pope was ejected. He logged a season-high 26 minutes, chipping across the board, including recording three combined defensive stats for just the second time this season. Despite the encouraging performance, Howard has not even been an every-night part of the rotation.
Jan 23, 2025
Leads from deep off bench in return
Howard recorded 10 points (3-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and three rebounds in 17 minutes during Thursday's 101-79 loss to Portland.
ANALYSIS
Howard returned Thursday after missing Orlando's previous five contests due to a sprained left ankle, providing a nice spark off the bench by connecting on a team-high mark from three and finishing as one of four players with a double-digit point total. Howard has connected on three or more threes in six contests this season, now having reached double figures in scoring in seven outings.
Jan 23, 2025
Good to go Thursday
Howard (ankle) is available for Thursday's game versus the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Howard has been upgraded from questionable to available Thursday after missing Orlando's previous five contests due to a sprained left ankle. Howard is averaging 6.7 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 13.1 minutes across his last 10 appearances.
Jan 23, 2025
Goes through shootaround
Howard (ankle) participated in shootaround ahead of Thursday's game versus the Trail Blazers, Mason Williams of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Howard has missed Orlando's previous five contests due to a sprained left ankle but is listed as questionable for Thursday. However, Howard's participation in shootaround is a good sign of his availability against Portland.
Jan 22, 2025
Listed as questionable
Howard (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game against Portland.
ANALYSIS
Howard is in jeopardy of missing his sixth straight game. With Franz Wagner (reconditioning) nearing a return, Howard will struggle to crack Orlando's rotation.
Jan 21, 2025
Won't play against Toronto
Howard (ankle) is out for Tuesday's game versus the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Howard's absence streak will extend to five games Tuesday after being downgraded from questionable to out due to a sprained left ankle. Howard's next chance to suit up is Thursday's matchup with Portland.
Jan 20, 2025
Questionable for Tuesday
Howard (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Raptors, Mason Williams of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Howard is in jeopardy of missing a fifth straight game Tuesday due to a left ankle sprain. If the former first-rounder cannot suit up against Toronto, Anthony Black would likely continue to play an expanded role from Orlando's bench.
Jan 19, 2025
Out vs. Denver
Howard (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Howard is dealing with an ankle injury and will miss a fourth consecutive contest. His next chance to suit up will come against the Raptors on Tuesday.
Jan 18, 2025
Iffy for Sunday
Howard (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against Denver.
ANALYSIS
After three straight games on the shelf, Howard is officially day-to-day. If he does get the green light to suit up, he'll likely be a fringe rotation player for the Magic.
Jan 16, 2025
Out against Boston
Howard (ankle) won't play in Friday's game versus the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Howard will miss his third consecutive contest Friday due to a sprained left ankle. Howard's next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Denver.
Jan 15, 2025
Won't go Wednesday
Howard (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
It looked like Howard would face the Bucks after being upgraded from doubtful to questionable Wednesday afternoon. However, Orlando will hold him out of the contest, marking his second straight absence. Trevelin Queen and Caleb Houstan could see extra opportunities with Howard sidelined. Howard's next chance to play will come Friday at Boston.
Jan 15, 2025
Upgraded to questionable
Howard (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Howard was initially listed as doubtful, so the change in status is certainly a sign in a positive direction. That said, a decision on his availability will likely be made closer to the 8 p.m. ET tipoff, though.
Jan 14, 2025
Doubtful for Wednesday
Howard (ankle) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Bucks, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Beede is likely to miss his second straight contest, but he was able to go through a non-contact practice Tuesday. His expected absence isn't likely to have a big impact on the rotation.
Jan 12, 2025
Sidelined Sunday
Howard (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Philadelphia, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Howard sustained the left ankle sprain during Friday's loss to the Bucks, and his next chance to suit up will come Wednesday against the Bucks. The 21-year-old has received inconsistent run this season, though he has seen an uptick in playing time with Jalen Suggs (back) sidelined. Caleb Houstan and Anthony Black are candidates for a bump in minutes with both Howard and Suggs sidelined.
Jan 11, 2025
Iffy for Sunday
Howard (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Howard left Friday's game against the Bucks early and has since been diagnosed with a left ankle sprain. With Orlando getting Paolo Banchero back from injury, Howard will find minutes hard to come by going forward.
Jan 10, 2025
Doesn't return Friday vs. Bucks
Howard did not return to Friday's game against the Bucks due to a left ankle sprain. He finished with zero points and one assist over seven minutes.
ANALYSIS
Howard sprained his left ankle late in the third quarter of Friday's game, and it was severe enough for him to be sidelined for the rest of the contest. The injury puts him in jeopardy of missing Sunday's game against the 76ers. Howard had played at least 15 minutes off the bench in four of his last five outings prior to Friday's contest, and his absence would lead to more playing time for fellow reserve Caleb Houstan and starter Tristan da Silva.
Jan 10, 2025
Exits game due to ankle injury
Howard (ankle) is questionable to return to Friday's game against the Bucks, Dan Savage of the Magic's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Howard sprained his left ankle late in the third quarter, and after limping to the bench he eventually went to the locker room. Caleb Houstan would be in line to absorb Howard's minutes if the latter is unable to return to Friday's game.
Jan 10, 2025
Another strong performance
Howard ended with 10 points (4-11 FG, 2-9 3Pt), eight rebounds and four assists across 23 minutes during Thursday's 104-89 loss to the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Howard has stepped up with more minutes on the floor for the Magic. The 21-year-old has played well in the last three games, scoring 40 points combined with 11 rebounds and eight assists during that span.
Jan 6, 2025
Scores career-high 21 points
Howard registered 21 points (7-16 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds and four assists in 25 minutes during Sunday's 105-92 loss to the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Howard scored in double digits for the first time this season, but it was the first time in his career in which he surpassed the 20-point plateau. Howard might be in line to see more minutes in the short-term scenario given how depleted the Magic are, but he's not likely to gain a sizable role in the rotation after just one standout performance.
Dec 30, 2024
Held without a point
Howard totaled zero points (0-3 FG, 0-3 3Pt), one rebound and one assist over 12 minutes during Sunday's 102-101 win over the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Howard reached double-digit minutes for the first time since Dec. 21 after Jalen Suggs left the game early with a wrist sprain, but he couldn't take advantage of his newfound minutes. Howard has scored a combined four points in his last three outings and is off the fantasy radar in most formats.
Dec 11, 2024
Pops for 10 points Tuesday
Howard finished Tuesday's 114-109 loss to Milwaukee with 10 points (3-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT) and one assist across 12 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Howard scored double-digits for just the fourth time this season, a campaign which has thus far failed to produce too many highlights. Even with Orlando's two best players sidelined, Howard has been unable to step into a consistent role. The Magic are in a tough position, being a team that wants to develop their young players but also wants to win as many games as possible.
Nov 30, 2024
Mutes role continues
Howard provided eight points (3-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal over 16 minutes during Friday's 123-100 win over the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Howard continues to play a limited role off the bench, having exceeded 20 minutes only once this season. Although he is supposedly one of the better perimeter threats on this Magic roster, they are doing just fine with him playing a minimal role. At this point, it appears he will struggle to feature prominently as long as the roster is relatively healthy.
Oct 27, 2024
Efficient in limited time Saturday
Howard closed Saturday's 124-111 loss to the Grizzlies with 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt) and two rebounds over 12 minutes.
ANALYSIS
The 21-year-old was impressive in his limited run off the bench while serving as Franz Wagner's primary backup. Howard likely won't be a relevant option in fantasy formats, though his play Saturday could lead to an uptick in playing time alongside Anthony Black and Cole Anthony in the second unit.
Oct 10, 2024
Drops 19 points in start
Howard logged 19 points (6-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three assists and two steals across 29 minutes of Wednesday's 107-97 preseason loss to the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Orlando gave Howard an extended look Wednesday, and he delivered a game-high 19 points on 60 percent shooting. Howard spent most of the 2023 campaign in the G League, appearing in merely 18 NBA games and averaging 3.7 minutes per contest. Not many opportunities have opened for Howard entering Year 2, but he could push for a spot in the rotation if he continues to perform well.
Oct 9, 2024
Starting nod Wednesday
Howard is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's preseason game against San Antonio.
ANALYSIS
Howard delivered five points (2-8 FG) and three rebounds in 12 minutes during Orlando's preseason opener, so the second-year swingman will look to build on that performance. He is joined by Jalen Suggs in Orlando's starting backcourt Wednesday.
Oct 4, 2024
Orlando picks up option
Orlando exercised its third-year team option on Howard's contract Friday, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Howard will likely return to the Magic next year after the club extended him for his third season. The 21-year-old rarely saw the floor his rookie season, during which he averaged 1.6 points across 3.7 minutes per game in 18 regular-season appearances. Howard will likely struggle to find consistent minutes once again, buried behind Anthony Black, Caleb Houstan and Gary Harris on the bench.
Apr 7, 2024
Returns to NBA
Orlando recalled Howard from the G League's Osceola Magic on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Howard finished Osceola's G League playoff loss to the Long Island Nets on Friday with 11 points (4-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one block. With Osceola's season now over, Howard figures to provide depth at the NBA level over the final week of the regular season.
Apr 1, 2024
Recalled from G League
Orlando recalled Howard from the G League's Osceola Magic on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Osceola has a first-round bye in the G League playoffs, so they won't play until Friday, allowing Howard to get a few days with the NBA club in the meantime. Howard made just one NBA appearance in March and played only three minutes during a 111-96 win over Toronto.
Mar 16, 2024
Recalled to NBA
Orlando recalled Howard on Saturday from the G League's Osceola Magic, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Howard will be available to face the Raptors on Sunday, but he's unlikely to be featured in Orlando's rotation.
Feb 29, 2024
Recalled by Orlando
Orlando recalled Howard from the G League's Osceola Magic on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Howard spent just over a week in the G League but will rejoin the parent club ahead of Orlando's game against the Jazz on Thursday. However, he's unlikely to see much playing time in the NBA.
Feb 11, 2024
Rejoins Orlando
Orlando recalled Howard from the G League's Osceola Magic on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Howard hasn't made an NBA appearance since Jan. 21 and likely won't be featured in the rotation even though he's back with Orlando. That being said, the rookie first-round pick has been extremely involved at the G League level, averaging 19.4 points on 16.9 shots across his last 10 contests with Osceola.
Jan 21, 2024
Recalled to Orlando
Orlando recalled Howard from the G League's Osceola Magic on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Howard exploded for 32 points (13-24 FG, 6-13 3Pt) in Thursday's G League victory over Westchester. He'll now join Orlando in advance of a back-to-back set Sunday and Monday against Miami and Cleveland, respectively.
Jan 19, 2024
Returns to NBA
The Magic recalled Howard from the Osceola Magic of the G League on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Howard will be available for Friday's game versus the 76ers. The rookie forward is averaging 1.6 points in 4.0 minutes across his nine NBA appearances this season.
Dec 28, 2023
Sent back to G League
The Magic assigned Howard to the Osceola Magic of the G League on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Howard will return to the G League after a brief stint in the NBA. The No. 11 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft will continue to receive extended playing time with the Osceola Magic after hardly factoring into Orlando's rotation.
Dec 27, 2023
Back to NBA
Orlando recalled Howard from the G League's Osceola Magic on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
With three players questionable and Kevon Harris (coach's decision) and Markelle Fultz (knee) still out, Howard will provide depth during the second night of a back-to-back set. Across eight appearances this season, Howard has averaged 1.4 points in 4.3 minutes per game.
Dec 20, 2023
Won't play Wednesday
Howard is out for Wednesday's game versus the Heat due to a coach's decision.
ANALYSIS
Despite being called up to the NBA earlier in the day Wednesday, Howard won't play against Miami. The rookie forward's absence won't affect Orlando's rotation.
Dec 20, 2023
Called back to Orlando
The Magic recalled Howard from the Osceola Magic of the G League on Wednesday, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Howard will be available for Wednesday's game versus the Heat. However, the rookie forward is averaging just 1.4 points in 4.3 minutes across his previous eight NBA appearances this season.
Dec 7, 2023
Brought back from G League
The Magic recalled Howard from the G League's Osceola Magic on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
The rookie first-round pick out of Michigan will rejoin the parent club ahead of Friday's game against the Pistons and could have a chance to crack the backcourt rotation after Orlando lost Jalen Suggs to an ankle sprain in Wednesday's 121-111 loss to the Cavaliers. Over four games with the G League club this season, Howard has averaged 19.0 points (on 37.1 percent shooting from the field), 5.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 3.3 three-pointers, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks in 33.2 minutes.
Dec 1, 2023
Good to go against Washington
Howard (ankle) is available for Friday's game versus the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Howard has been upgraded to available Friday despite dealing with a left ankle sprain. The rookie forward is averaging just 4.6 minutes across his first five NBA appearances.
Dec 1, 2023
Rejoins parent club
Howard was recalled from the G League's Orlando Magic on Friday, Philip Rossman-Reich of OrlandoMagicDaily.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Howard spent the last week and a half in the G League but will rejoin the parent club ahead of Orlando's back-to-back set this weekend. Howard has been on the fringes of Orlando's rotation this year and is unlikely to see significant playing time now that he's back in the NBA.
Nov 20, 2023
Sent to G League
The Magic assigned Howard to the G League's Osceola Magic on Monday.
ANALYSIS
With the exception of Markelle Fultz (knee), the Magic have all of their guards and wings healthy at the moment, which has resulted in Howard seeing limited opportunities early on during his rookie season. The No. 11 overall pick in the draft has appeared in just five of the Magic's first 13 games, averaging just 4.6 minutes per contest. He should get the chance to see extended minutes with Osceola.
Jul 12, 2023
Erupts for 22 points
Howard scored 22 points (8-17 FG, 4-8 3PT, 2-3 FT) to go along with three rebounds, an assist, a steal and a block over 35 minutes of Wednesday's 82-80 loss to the Knicks in Summer League.
ANALYSIS
After struggling to score in his first two Summer League appearances, Howard finally found his shooting stroke and led Orlando in the scoring column. The sharpshooter buried four of his eight attempts from beyond the arc and was trusted with clutch shots at the end of regulation and overtime. Howard will continue to be a top option for the Magic alongside Anthony Black for the rest of Summer League.
Jul 10, 2023
Leads team in assists
Howard recorded 10 points (4-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt), five assists, two rebounds and one block in 27 minutes during Monday's 108-85 Summer League loss to the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Howard tallied a team-high five assists Monday and posted only two turnovers. The rookie forward's best trait coming out of Michigan was his outside shooting, so it is encouraging to bounce back after struggling with his shot in his Summer League debut.
Jul 9, 2023
Struggles with shot
Howard submitted eight points (3-13 FG, 2-7 3PT), four assists, three rebounds and three steals over 29 minutes of Saturday's 89-78 loss to the Pistons in Summer League.
ANALYSIS
Howard got off to a red-hot start Saturday, burying back-to-back triples mid-way through the first quarter, but connected on just one field goal the rest of the game. However, he managed to make contributions elsewhere, dishing out four assists and corraling three steals in 29 minutes of play. Despite this, Howard finished tied for the worst plus-minus for Orlando (-15).
