Maten will play for the Magic's Summer League team, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Maten will reenter the NBA with the Magic after initially playing for the Heat on a two-way contract during the 2018 season. During the 2020 season, the forward played for the Celtics G League team and logged a season-high of 34 points.

Maten generated 23 points (9-19 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists and four steals over 30 minutes in Wednesday's 113-92 loss at Delaware.
EDGE Analysis
For the first time this season, the Red Claws have lost three games in a row. One can not blame Maten, who drew the start and led the team in points and was second in rebounds. Coach Darren Erman tried to shake things up by starting Maten and bringing Tacko Fall off the bench. Both centers double-doubled, but the Claws still struggled to score in both the second (12 points) and third (19 points) quarters. Crustacean Nation will try to turn things around at home Friday against the tough Raptors 905.

Maten generated 30 points (12-21 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 12 rebounds and three steals in Saturday's 116-109 road loss to Raptors 905.
EDGE Analysis
The Red Claws trailed for most of Saturday's match-up. Maten was one a few Claws with strong shooting numbers as the 905 held Maine to only 40 percent shooting from the field. Maine has no time to lick their wounds as they quickly travel to New York state for Sunday's afternoon matinee with the Westchester Knicks.

Maten produced 34 points (11-18 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 15 rebounds and two blocked shots during Saturday's 134-118 loss at Wisconsin.
EDGE Analysis
Tacko Fall drew the start at center, but when the Claws got behind early, Maine went with a lot of "small ball" with Maten at the five. Maten's hot hand unfortunately wasn't enough as the Herd cruised to victory and maintained their first place position in the G League Eastern Conference. Maten's 34 points were a season high. Maten has had four games with 15 or more boards.

Maten delivered 27 points (13-19 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists, two blocked shots and one steal in Thursday's 107-103 home win over Salt Lake City.
EDGE Analysis
Maten once again led the Red Claws in scoring and posted his ninth double-double of the season. Despite Tacko Fall's presence, Maten is still Maine's starting center and has recently become the focal point of Crustacean Nation's offense. Maten's 19 field-goal attempts by far led the Claws, who have won seven in a row. Maine hopes to keep the good news coming Friday at Long Island.

Maten posted 22 points (10-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and two steals in Saturday's 100-93 home victory over the Drive.
EDGE Analysis
Maten's 22 points led Crustacean Nation. The 6-foot-7 big man continues to start at center despite the return of Tacko Fall from the parent club. Through 19 games, the second-year G Leaguer is averaging 18.6 points, 9.2 rebounds and 0.8 blocks per contest. The Red Claws now travel to Erie for Tuesday's matchup with the Bayhawks.

Maten posted 29 points (12-18 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds and one assist in Friday's 117-116 loss at Capital City.
EDGE Analysis
Maten was efficient over his 30 minutes of run. The Red Claws were leading most of the way, but couldn't hold off the Go-Go in the fourth quarter when they put up 35 points for the win. Maten led Crustacean Nation in scoring, but was part of a team defensive effort that could only gather two total steals. The Claws now head home for Sunday's match-up versus the SkyHawks.

Maten exploded for 26 points (10-18 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 16 boards and two steals in Friday's 127-121 road win over Iowa.
EDGE Analysis
The second year G Leaguer led the team in points, field goal attempts and minutes, despite a Maine roster with two Celtic two-way players (Fall and Waters) and two Celtic assignees (Langford and Edwards). Should all four Celtics stay in Maine, one assumes Maten's minutes will decline. But for one glorious night in Iowa, the undersized center caught fire and led Crustacean Nation to victory. Maten has scored 20 or more points in six of 12 games this season.

Maten produced 10 points (5-15 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 0-3 FT), 15 rebounds, five steals, four assists and two blocks in Wednesday's 113-102 road win over the Raptor's 905.
EDGE Analysis
Maten put up a rare stat line during an even more rare Wednesday matinee game. On the positive, he double-doubled and collected five swipes. On the negative, he missed all three of his free throws and all three of his shots from behind the arc. But a win is a win and Crustacean Nation is 4-0. Maten is seeing 27 minutes per game through four games.

Maten produced 22 points (4-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 8-10 FT). 10 rebounds, four assists, one steal and one blocked shot over 27 minutes in Friday's 103-100 home debut win over the Mad Ants.
EDGE Analysis
Maten led Crustacean Nation in scoring and was second in rebounds behind Tacko Fall's 13 boards. The 6-foot-8 Maten also got the start at center, as coach Darren Erman continues to bring Fall in off the bench. This was a tough win for the Red Claws, who lost star rookie Romeo Langford to an ankle injury seven minutes into the contest. Maten and his Red Claw teammates stay home Sunday for an afternoon matchup versus Raptors 905.
