11 James Ennis III SF

Ennis (calf) may not play again this season, Roy Parry of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Ennis has already been ruled out of Wednesday's game against Boston, and coach Steve Clifford intimated that the wing -- as well as a few other injured Magic players -- may not return before the end of the regular season. "I don't even know what the time frame [is]," Clifford said. "If you look at the schedule now, it's seven games, I think it'd be 12 days, and I'm not sure even if any of those guys are that close, to be honest with you." Ennis was able to play in two games last week, but his calf injury has kept him out of eight of the last 10 contests, including Wednesday.

Ennis (calf) is out Wednesday against the Celtics.

Ennis will be sidelined for a third straight game as he recovers from right calf soreness. In his absence, Dwayne Bacon and R.J. Hampton should continue seeing extra minutes.

Ennis (calf) will not play Monday at Detroit.

A sore right calf will cause Ennis to sit out for the seventh time in the last nine games. As the Magic play out the string on a rebuilding season, don't expect Ennis to be rushed back to action before he's 100 percent healthy.

Ennis will not play in Saturday's game against the Grizzlies due to a calf issue.

Ennis has not popped up on the injury report until now, so this is apparently a new issue. His next chance to suit up will come Monday versus the Pistons. In his absence, Gary Harris and Dwayne Bacon could be candidates for extra run.

Ennis will start Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers and see limited minutes, Roy Parry of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Wednesday marks Ennis' first game back from a five-game absence due to a calf injury, so he'll be eased back into a full workload. His return means Dwayne Bacon will come off the bench.

Ennis (calf) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Cavs.

After missing the last five games with a calf issue, Ennis will make his return to the rotation, though it's unclear whether he'll be back in the starting lineup. Prior to the injury, Ennis averaged 30.4 minutes per game across 12 consecutive starts.

Ennis (calf) is questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Cavaliers.

Ennis has missed the past five games due to right calf soreness. If he returns Wednesday, he could reclaim his starting spot from Dwayne Bacon.

Ennis (calf) will not play in Monday's game against the Lakers, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

There was some hope that Ennis would be able to return from a four-game absence, but in the end both he and Terrence Ross (back) will miss at least one more contest. Ennis' next chance to play will arrive Wednesday at Cleveland.

Ennis (calf) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Lakers.

Once again, the wing is listed as questionable, though he's already missed four straight games due to a sore calf. The Magic will likely wait until closer to game time before performing a final evaluation and ruling Ennis in or out.

Ennis (calf) will not be available for Sunday's game against the Pacers, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Ennis was questionable coming in, but he'll ultimately miss a fourth straight game as he continues to deal with discomfort in his right calf. Prior to the injury, Ennis had averaged 29.0 minutes per game over his previous five appearances.

Ennis (calf) is questionable for Sunday's contest against the Pacers.

Ennis has missed the past three games due to right calf soreness, but he may return Sunday. If he does, he could reclaim his starting spot from Dwayne Bacon.

Ennis (calf) will not play Thursday against the Pelicans.

It will be the third straight absence for Ennis, so Dwayne Bacon will likely be in line for another start on the wing. Bacon has seen 30-plus minutes of action in each of the last two games sans Ennis.

Ennis (calf) is questionable for Thursday's contest against the Pelicans.

After two straight missed games, Ennis could return Thursday. If he does, he could retake his spot in the starting five from Dwayne Bacon.

Ennis (calf) is listed as out for Tuesday's game against the Hawks, Roy Parry of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

A sore calf kept Ennis out of Sunday's game against the Rockets, and it'll cost him at least one more contest as the Magic head into a three-game week. Prior to the injury, Ennis started the previous 12 games, averaging 11.2 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.5 threes during that run.

Ennis (calf) is unavailable for Sunday's game against the Rockets.

The 30-year-old was considered questionable with soreness in his right calf and won't be available Sunday. Terrence Ross could start in Ennis' absence, and Dwayne Bacon may also have an increased role.

Ennis (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Houston.

Ennis is dealing with soreness in his right calf, which could force him to miss his first game in about a month. Terrence Ross could see a start if Ennis is sidelined.

Ennis totaled 22 points (8-12 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one block over 31 minutes Wednesday in the win over the Bulls.

This marks the first time since Nov. 29, 2019 that Ennis has hit the 20-point plateau. His outburst was a much welcome sight for both his fantasy managers and the Magic, as he'd totaled just 32 points in his previous four games combined. Since the trade deadline, Ennis is averaging 11.6 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 30.6 minutes per game.

Ennis provided 14 points (3-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds, four assists and a steal across 33 minutes in Friday's 111-106 loss to the Pacers.

Ennis was the only Magic starter to score in double figures, and he achieved that despite recording only six shot attempts. The seventh-year veteran has been a bright spot during Orlando's roster overhaul, and he's hung on to a starting role despite recent acquisitions at the trade deadline. The return of Terrence Ross is of some concern for Ennis managers, as he's played exceedingly well after an extended absence. For now, it appears that Ennis will retain his spot in the starting five, but concerned parties should keep an eye on Ross.

Ennis has played more than 35 minutes in each of the Magic's last three games, averaging 14.0 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 2.3 steals and 1.7 three-pointers over that stretch on 60.0/87.5/71.4 percent shooting splits from the field, free-throw line and three-point range, respectively.

Ennis has served as a starter on the wing for most of his year-plus stint with the Magic, but his typically low usage rate has largely kept him off the fantasy radar outside of deeper leagues. However, in light of the Magic's recent roster overhaul leading up to the trade deadline in addition to the team's growing injury list, Ennis has stepped into a larger role out of necessity. Ennis' counting-stats production over the last three games would make him worthy of rostering in 12-team leagues, but the inflated shooting percentages from the field and distance suggest that a fair amount of regression in the points and three-pointers categories may be coming. Even if Ennis is able to maintain his scorching-hot shooting to some extent, the eventual returns of Cole Anthony (ribs), Michael Carter-Williams (illness), Gary Harris (thigh) and Otto Porter (foot) will likely cost him some minutes and/or usage.

Ennis finished Thursday's 115-110 overtime win over New Orleans with 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and four steals over 38 minutes.

Ennis led all Magic players in minutes in the victory and finished with a season-high four steals. The theft total is likely an aberration given that the veteran hadn't notched a single steal in his past four contests covering 118 minutes. Though Ennis has started four straight games for Orlando, his skillset doesn't hold much appeal in most fantasy leagues.
