Jason Beede: 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.

Howard believes he fits well alongside Orlando’s core because of his long-range shooting. It’s just a matter of growing more comfortable on the court. “I can shoot the ball at a pretty high level,” Howard said. “Getting used to doing that out there … It’s hard being called in sometimes and not other times, but that’s just with anything [as] a young guy trying to get into the league, trying to get navigate through that and get some comfortability with that.”

Rozier, who is in a walking boot and on crutches, was one of only four players in the NBA who shot worse than 40 percent from the field and worse than 30 percent on threes while playing in at least 60 games this regular season. That list also includes Charlotte Hornets forward Tidjane Salaun, Philadelphia 76ers guard Ricky Council IV and Orlando Magic guard Jett Howard. “I have the utmost respect for Terry,” Heat captain and three-time All-Star center Bam Adebayo said. “He could have let go of the rope, like a lot of guys have done in this league. They let go of the rope because they’re out of the rotation or whatever the case may be. For him to keep fighting, keep having perseverance and just keep stacking days of just trying to get better, you respect that in somebody.”


Cody Taylor: Jett Howard is available to play tonight.
