Ross finished Sunday's win over the Knicks with 22 points (6-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 8-9 FT), three assists and two steals.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old has been one of the league's most dependable bench scorers over the last few seasons, and it looks like that won't change in 2021-22, even as he serves as one of the few veteran presences on a rebuilding roster. Ross has scored in double figures in all three games thus far, and while he doesn't offer much in terms of counting stats, the Washington product can score -- and rack up threes -- in bunches.

Ross is moving back to the bench for Wednesday's contest against Boston.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran scorer started in Orlando's last preseason contest, but is moving back to the bench for the team's last exhibition game. Ross has spent his last three seasons as the Magic's first option off the bench, but the 30-year-old may be in line to start when the team opens their season next Wednesday against the Spurs.

Ross is in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Spurs, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ross started in the first preseason game but came off the bench the last time the Magic took the floor. Head coach Jamahl Mosley seems to be rotating guys in and out of the lineup each game, entailing Ross could be coming off the bench next time out.

Ross will start in Wednesday's preseason game against the Pelicans, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Despite earlier reports, Ross will remain in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans. He averaged 15.6 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 29.3 minutes per game last season before persistent back spasms ended his season prematurely in April.

Ross (back) doesn't have a timetable for a return and may have played his last game this season, Roy Parry of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ross hasn't played since April 16 due to back spasms, and there haven't been any updates regarding his progress. Coach Steve Clifford sounded pessimistic when asked about Ross' chances of returning, so fantasy managers should act as if Ross' season is over. Assuming that's the case, Ross will end 2020-21 with career highs in points per game (15.6) and assists per game (2.3).

Ross (back) is out Wednesday against the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

Back spasms have prevented Ross from playing since mid-April. It's not clear when he may return.

Ross (back) will not play Monday at Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Back spasms will cost Ross a ninth straight game, and he remains without a firm timetable. The fact that he's been ruled out well in advance does not bode well for his longer-term status, as the Magic look ahead to a four-game week.

Ross (back) will remain sidelined for Saturday's matchup with the Grizzlies.

EDGE Analysis

Ross was originally deemed doubtful, so this news is not surprising. With James Ennis (calf) also sidelined, look for Gary Harris and Dwayne Bacon to see increased roles. Ross' absence will mark his eighth straight game missed.

Ross (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Grizzlies, Roy Parry of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ross was listed as doubtful for Friday's matchup, and he'll miss a seventh consecutive game due to back spasms. It's not yet clear when Ross will return to the court.

Ross (back) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against Memphis.

EDGE Analysis

Back spasms will likely keep Ross out of a seventh straight game as the Magic limp closer to the finish line. With a high-lottery pick in their sights, Orlando has little reason to push Ross to return before he's 100 percent healthy.
