Ridnour (paternity) was active for Friday's game against the Magic but wasn't inserted into the action. Ridnour missed a few games on paternity leave but appears to be available for the last few contests on the schedule. However, he's not guaranteed any playing time, as evidenced by Friday's inability to get on the court.

Ridnour will return to action Friday after missing three games while on paternity leave, Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel reports. Ridnour will return as the primary backup point guard, though his role has not been large enough this season to yield consistent fantasy production.

Ridnour (paternity) was present at shootaround Friday and is expected to play against the Raptors, Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel reports. Ridnour has missed the last three games after his wife gave birth to a child over the weekend. Expect him back in his usual backup point guard role behind Elfrid Payton and Victor Oladipo.

Ridnour (paternity) will not play Wednesday, John Denton of the Orlando Sentinel reports. Ridnour will miss his third straight game as he continues to remain away from the team following the birth of his child over the weekend. With Willie Green also out, Evan Fournier (hip) should pick up a few extra minutes, while Elfrid Payton could also see an increased workload.

Ridnour isn't with the Magic on their road trip due to the expected birth of a child, Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel reports. Ridnour's absence will likely extend through the two weekend games, which would leave Wednesday against the Bulls as the probable date to rejoin the lineup. If he were to return for Saturday's contest, he should receive an update to indicate as such, but doubtful is probably the best descriptor for him at this point.

Ridnour returned from a hamstring injury Tuesday, coming off the bench to play 20 minutes. He was held scoreless on five shots, and had three rebounds and three assists. Ridnour had missed three games with the injury, but Tuesday's game marked the most minutes he's played since Jan. 9. Still, Ridnour isn't much use for fantasy. He generally scores in the single figures and is now 0-for-9 in March.

Ridnour (hamstring) went through a full practice without issue Monday and is considered probable to play Tuesday versus the Pacers, Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel reports. Ridnour has been sidelined three games with a hamstring injury, but even when healthy he doesn't provide much, from a fantasy perspective. Ridnour averaged only 2.7 points and 1.2 assists in 13.0 minutes during the month of February.

Ridnour (hamstring) will not play Friday against the Kings, the Orlando Sentinel reports. Ridnour is slated to sit out another game because of his hamstring strain, which leaves the Magic a bit thin at the point guard position. Additionally, since teammate Willie Green has also been ruled out against the Kings, starting shooting guard Victor Oladipo could see some point guard duties when Elfrid Payton needs to rest Friday. That situation would likely leave Ben Gordon to play the two-spot, creating the three-man rotation for the Magic's backcourt positions.

Ridnour (hamstring) is uncertain to play Friday against the Kings, Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel reports. Ridnour missed the Magic's previous game with the hamstring issue, and unless he demonstrates progress during Friday's shootaround, he'll be liable to sit out another contest. Even if he's deemed active, Ridnour rarely sees the court as the backup point guard on a rebuilding Magic squad. He's averaging a career-low 13.7 minutes per game.

Ridnour (hamstring) will not play Wednesday against the Suns, Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel reports. After sitting out Tuesday's practice, Ridnour will remain on the sideline Wednesday as he battles a minor hamstring issue. With Evan Fournier also out, Willie Green and Ben Gordon figure to pick up a few extra minutes off the bench, while Elfrid Payton could also see increased run.
