Rudez re-signed with the Magic on Thursday to a non-guaranteed contract, Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

In his first season with Orlando, Rudez struggled to see the court, playing in just 45 games overall. That translated to averages of just 1.8 points across 7.0 minutes per contest, which kept him far off the fantasy radar. While Rudez has the ability to play both forward positions, the Magic brought in Jonathan Isaac and Marreese Speights this offseason, which throws even more roadblocks in Rudez's way for potential playing time. His contract is reportedly not guaranteed, meaning he'll have to fight for a spot on the regular-season roster throughout training camp.

Rudez provided zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one assist in four minutes in Monday's 113-105 loss to the Knicks.

EDGE Analysis

Rudez has only appeared in six games since the beginning of February, logging double-digit minutes on just one occasion. It looks like his playing opportunities will remain limited to garbage time over the final month of the season.

Rudez played four minutes in Wednesday's 107-79 loss to the Spurs, recording one foul and no other statistics.

EDGE Analysis

Rudez saw some run in garbage time at the end of the blowout, and those are typically the only scenarios in which coach Frank Vogel is willing to call the big man's number off the bench. The 30-year-old has appeared in only four of eight games in February, seeing no more than 12 minutes in any contest.

Rudez contributed three points (1-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in seven minutes during Sunday's 114-113 win over the Raptors.

EDGE Analysis

Following a 100% shooting performance in 24 minutes against the Celtics that included going 4-4 from behind the arc, Rudez saw his role and production return to season norms. The 30-year-old third-year player is averaging 2.2 points, 0.7 rebounds, 0.5 assists and 0.3 steals in 7.6 minutes this season.

Rudez (calf) is available to play in Monday's game against the Knicks.

EDGE Analysis

Rudez will only end up missing one game with a strained right calf. The 30-year-old has mostly been utilize as added depth for the Magic this season, and that won't likely change as the season moves ahead.

Rudez (calf) will not be available Sunday against the Pacers, John Denton of OrlandoMagic.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is the first absence caused by the strained right calf of Rudez. He only averaged six minutes per game over the last four contests, so none of his teammates in particular will benefit from added opportunities in his absence.

Rudez is nursing a strained right calf and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Pacers.

EDGE Analysis

Rudez has played in five of the Magic's last six games, seeing no more than 12 minutes in any of those contests. Somewhere along the way, it appears he picked up the calf injury, but given the limited run he typically receives, his potential absence Sunday wouldn't have much of an impact on the rest of the roster. Rudez is safely waiver-wire fodder in just about every league.

Rudez (coach's decision) didn't play in Sunday's 104-96 loss to the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

Rudez had a brief run as the main backup to power forward Serge Ibaka, appearing in a stretch of nine consecutive games earlier this month. However, he shot just 37.5 percent from the floor during that stretch, and it appears he's no longer being viewed as a rotation option for coach Frank Vogel. Rudez hasn't left the bench in either of the Magic's last two contests.

Rudez will suit up Friday against the Pistons despite an illness, John Denton of OrlandoMagic.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Magic were considering deactivating Rudez for Friday's contest, but the illness will not prevent him from being in uniform Friday night. However, Rudez did not play in the Magic's season opener Wednesday, so he may not take the court regardless.

Updating a previous report, Rudez hasn't signed a one-year contract with the Magic, but will instead join the team on a training camp invite, Brian K. Schmitz of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

It doesn't appear Rudez will count toward the Magic's 15-man roster, but he could very well earn his way on the team with a quality performance in training camp. Rudez was lost in the shuffle in a crowded Timberwolves frontcourt last season, finishing with averages of 2.3 points and 0.6 rebounds in 8.4 minutes per game over 33 appearances. His ability to stretch the floor could help the Magic, who ranked 23rd in the NBA in three-point buckets per game a season ago.
