Ross (knee) is available for Saturday's game against the Kings, Khobi Price of the Orlando Sentinel reports. He will come off the bench.

EDGE Analysis

Ross returns following a one-game absence. He's started every game this season and averaged 11.6 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 30.9 minutes before suffering the bruised knee Tuesday. However, he'll come off the bench Saturday, as the Magic will continue to go big with a lineup of Jalen Suggs, Franz Wagner, Paolo Banchero, Bol Bol and Wendell Carter.

Ross (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Ross was sidelined for Thursday's win over the Warriors due to a left knee contusion, and it's unclear if he's recovered enough to return to the court against Sacramento. If Ross is unable to go, Jalen Suggs and R.J. Hampton should continue to handle the bulk of Orlando's backcourt responsibilities Saturday.

Ross (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game versus the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

Ross will miss Thursday's game due to a left knee contusion he suffered in Tuesday's contest against the Thunder. R.J. Hampton and Jalen Suggs should be in line for the majority of the Magic's backcourt minutes Thursday as Cole Anthony (oblique), Gary Harris (knee) and Markelle Fultz (toe) are also out.

Ross (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

Ross sustained a left knee contusion during Tuesday's game against the Thunder, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be able to suit up two days later. If he's unavailable Thursday, Jalen Suggs and R.J. Hampton should see plenty of playing time.

Ross exited Tuesday's game against the Thunder due to a left knee bruise, Philip Rossman-Reich of OrlandoMagicDaily.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ross's night ends after just four minutes, during which he handed out one assist. If he sits out Thursday against the Warriors, more minutes could be in store for R.J. Hampton, Chuma Okeke and other wings.

Ross supplied eight points (3-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt), three rebounds and one steal across 33 minutes during Monday's 115-102 loss to New York.

EDGE Analysis

Ross scored in double figures in each of his first three appearances, including a 29-point explosion Saturday, but he struggled to get anything going against the Knicks on Monday. Regardless, he figures to continue seeing an increased role as long as Gary Harris (knee) and Jalen Suggs (ankle) remain sidelined.

Ross produced 29 points (11-16 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal over 35 minutes during Saturday's 126-120 loss to Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Aside from producing one of the best dunks in the early days of the 2022-23 NBA season, Ross was a consistent scoring threat and led the Magic in this loss against one of the best teams in The Association. That said, he's not expected to score around the 25-point mark on a regular basis, and a more realistic expectation would be for him to produce double-digit scoring outputs around the 15-point mark on a nightly basis. For what is worth, he has scored in double digits in all three of his appearances as a starter thus far.

Ross will start Wednesday's opener against the Pistons, Khobi Price of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ross took over as a starter later in the preseason after Jalen Suggs missed some time due to a knee issue, and it appears his starting role will carry over into the regular season. However, it's worth noting that Ross' spot is far from locked in, with Gary Harris (knee) and Jalen Suggs also likely vying for the role as the season wears on. Harris is unavailable for the opener, while Suggs doesn't face a minutes restriction despite missing preseason action.

Ross is not in the starting lineup for Friday's preseason matchup with the Cavaliers, Dan Savage of the Magic's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ross started and played 28 minutes in Tuesday's preseason win over the Grizzlies. He tallied 17 points, three rebounds and one assist. However, with the insertion of Mo Bamba into Friday's starting five, Ross will return to his usual backup guard role.

Ross ended with 16 points (6-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, a steal and a block across 23 minutes in Friday's 110-105 win over the Mavericks.

EDGE Analysis

Perhaps surprisingly, the veteran is still on the Magic roster while the franchise goes through another rebuilding effort, but he continues to play and operate as an offensive threat every time he steps on the court. While he's not expected to score around 15 points on a nightly basis, he can explode offensively from time to time, and these performances will only boost his trade value as the season progresses.
