Howard finished Tuesday's 114-109 loss to Milwaukee with 10 points (3-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT) and one assist across 12 minutes. Howard scored double-digit points for just the fourth time this season, a campaign during which he has thus far failed to produce many highlights. Even with Orlando's two best players sidelined, Howard has been unable to step into a consistent role. The Magic are in a tough position, being a team that wants to develop their young players but also wants to win as many games as possible.

Pops for 10 points Tuesday
Howard finished Tuesday's 114-109 loss to Milwaukee with 10 points (3-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT) and one assist across 12 minutes. Howard scored double-digit points for just the fourth time this season, a campaign during which he has thus far failed to produce many highlights. Even with Orlando's two best players sidelined, Howard has been unable to step into a consistent role. The Magic are in a tough position, being a team that wants to develop their young players but also wants to win as many games as possible.
Mutes role continues
Howard provided eight points (3-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal over 16 minutes during Friday's 123-100 win over the Nets. Howard continues to play a limited role off the bench, having exceeded 20 minutes only once this season. Although he is supposedly one of the better perimeter threats on this Magic roster, they are doing just fine with him playing a minimal role. At this point, it appears he will struggle to feature prominently as long as the roster is relatively healthy.
Efficient in limited time Saturday
Howard closed Saturday's 124-111 loss to the Grizzlies with 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt) and two rebounds over 12 minutes. The 21-year-old was impressive in his limited run off the bench while serving as Franz Wagner's primary backup. Howard likely won't be a relevant option in fantasy formats, though his play Saturday could lead to an uptick in playing time alongside Anthony Black and Cole Anthony in the second unit.
Drops 19 points in start
Howard logged 19 points (6-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three assists and two steals across 29 minutes of Wednesday's 107-97 preseason loss to the Spurs. Orlando gave Howard an extended look Wednesday, and he delivered a game-high 19 points on 60 percent shooting. Howard spent most of the 2023 campaign in the G League, appearing in merely 18 NBA games and averaging 3.7 minutes per contest. Not many opportunities have opened for Howard entering Year 2, but he could push for a spot in the rotation if he continues to perform well.
Starting nod Wednesday
Howard is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's preseason game against San Antonio. Howard delivered five points (2-8 FG) and three rebounds in 12 minutes during Orlando's preseason opener, so the second-year swingman will look to build on that performance. He is joined by Jalen Suggs in Orlando's starting backcourt Wednesday.
Orlando picks up option
Orlando exercised its third-year team option for the 2025-26 season on Howard's contract Friday, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports. Howard will likely return to the Magic next year after the club extended him for his third season. The 21-year-old rarely saw the floor in his rookie season, during which he averaged 1.6 points across 3.7 minutes per game in 18 regular-season appearances. Howard will likely struggle to find consistent minutes once again, buried behind Anthony Black, Caleb Houstan and Gary Harris on the bench.
Returns to NBA
Orlando recalled Howard from the G League's Osceola Magic on Sunday. Howard finished Osceola's G League playoff loss to the Long Island Nets on Friday with 11 points (4-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one block. With Osceola's season now over, Howard figures to provide depth at the NBA level over the final week of the regular season.
Recalled from G League
Orlando recalled Howard from the G League's Osceola Magic on Monday. Osceola has a first-round bye in the G League playoffs, so they won't play until Friday, allowing Howard to get a few days with the NBA club in the meantime. Howard made just one NBA appearance in March and played only three minutes during a 111-96 win over Toronto.
Recalled by Orlando
Orlando recalled Howard from the G League's Osceola Magic on Thursday. Howard spent just over a week in the G League but will rejoin the parent club ahead of Orlando's game against the Jazz on Thursday. However, he's unlikely to see much playing time in the NBA.
