NEWS: The #Magic are declining guard-forward Jett Howard’s fourth-year rookie club option worth $7.3 million in 2026-27, a league source told the @orlandosentinel.
Howard will be an unrestricted free agent in the upcoming offseason. The deadline to make a decision was Oct. 31.

Fantasy Impact:
The decision wasn’t unexpected, as Howard has had difficulty carving out a consistent role for the Magic. He will now become an unrestricted free agent following the 2025-26 season. Declining the option could also make Orlando more open to trading Howard before this season’s deadline.
