The Orlando Magic tipped off the 2025-26 preseason with a 126-118 victory over the Miami Heat in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and Orlando's first-round selection, Jase Richardson, stood out with his performance.
Newly acquired guard Tyus Jones got the start ahead of Jalen Suggs, who's still making a full recovery from his arthroscopic surgery on his left knee.
Richardson looked poised and ready for the moment in his first NBA minutes, and the Magic may have to reconsider their depth chart going forward.

Richardson came off the bench alongside other players, including Anthony Black, Jonathan Isaac, Goga Bitadze, and Jamal Cain, and was by far the biggest standout.
