Ridnour (personal) returned to action Wednesday against the Knicks and posted four points, two rebounds, and one assist in 15 minutes of action.
Ridnour is averaging just 4.0 points and 2.2 assists per game and isn't getting enough time in the rotation. He should be left in the wire in most formats.

Ridnour (personal) did not play Monday.
Ridnour missed his second consecutive game Monday, and his next chance to return will be at home against New York on Wednesday. While Ridnour does not currently have a prominent role on the team, the Magic are still under interim head coach James Borrego, and Ridnour's role may be subject to change once Orlando finds someone permanent to take the head coaching job.

Ridnour (personal) will not play Sunday against the Bulls, Josh Robbins of the Orland Sentinel reports
Ridour's next chance to return will be Monday in Washington D.C, however since the game is on the road and is the second of a back-to-back, it's possible that Ridnour may not return until the team returns home Wednesday.

Ridnour is dealing with a minor right ankle injury and is considered questionable to play against Portland on Saturday, the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Ridnour's ankle injury has gone unannounced up until this point and it may be that it's minor in nature and nothing that will hold him off the court. Regardless, Victor Oladipo and Elfrid Payton will likely absorb Ridnour's minutes if the veteran is ultimately deemed unfit Saturday.

Ridnour played six minutes Sunday against the Sixers after eight consecutive DNP-CDs.
Ridnour was a beneficiary of Elfrid Payton replacing Evan Fournier in the starting lineup and Willie Green (illness) out of commission. If the change sticks, Ridnour will play spot minutes as the lone backup point guard. If not, he'll toil on the bench.

Ridnour has been all but faded out of the rotation, playing once over the past seven games.
Ridnour is limited to garbage time, playing a total of 32 minutes over the past 11 games, interspersed with seven DNP-CDs. The return of Victor Oladipo accelerated the decline in minutes and games played.

Ridnour (personal) will be available for Monday's game against the Pistons, The Orlando Sentinel reports.
Ridnour missed the Magic's last game while attending to a personal matter, but he will be available for his usual role off the bench Monday night.
Sat Nov 15 201413:12Ridnour (personal) not with team Saturday
Ridnour (personal) is not with the team Saturday, the Orlando Sentinel's Josh Robbins reports.
He is attending to a personal matter and will not play Saturday. Consider him day-to-day, and look for Victor Oladipo to be the second option at point guard.

Ridnour is set to lose playing time with the announcement that Victor Oladipo (face) was cleared to play and remains questionable for tonight's tilt against the Bucks.
Ridnour played season-highs of 29 and 25 minutes over the past two contests, forcing rookie Elfrid Payton to the bench in both second halves. A non-factor in most fantasy circles, the Oladipo news creates uncertainty for Ridnour's role moving forward.

Ridnour is averaging 2.2 assists per game as Elfrid Payton's primary backup.
Ridnour usually tags into the game when Payton catches a breather. He's someone most fantasy leagues can disregard for his limited role and inadequate production across the board.

Ridnour returned from his quad injury for the season opener Tuesday, playing 17 minutes off the bench for the Magic against the Pelicans.
Those minutes weren't particularly effective, as he went 0-for-3 from the floor. Ridnour also added just two rebounds, and scored his only two points from the foul line. However, it does look as if he'll begin to play on a regular basis given his minutes Tuesday.
Mon Oct 27 201414:35Ridnour (quad) will be ready to play in Orlando's season opener ...
Ridnour (quad) will be ready to play in Orlando's season opener on Tuesday, John Denton of the Magic's official site reports.
Ridnour originally injured his right quad last week in a preseason game against the Mavericks but he will be ready to play on Tuesday. The 33-year-old guard has saw his playing time and scoring output decline last season and will probably be in a backup role to begin the season.

Ridnour suffered a right quadriceps contusion in Friday's preseason game against Dallas, the Orlando Sentinel reports.
The timing certainly isn't ideal for Ridnour, with the Magic's regular season opener just days away, but it doesn't sound like the 33-year-old is in danger of missing much, if any, additional action. If he were to sit next Tuesday against the Pelicans, it would likely mean a spike in playing time for Evan Fournier.

Ridnour will start at point guard during the Magic's first preseason game, the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Ridnour gets the nod over rookie Elfrid Payton because coach Jacque Vaughn wanted a veteran presence in the lineup. Coach Vaughn plans to use a different starting lineup against the Indiana Pacers on Friday, so Ridnour's presence is far from stable.
Fri Jul 25 201417:04Magic officially sign Luke Ridnour on Friday
The Magic officially signed Luke Ridnour on Friday.
"We're extremely excited to welcome Luke [Ridnour] and his family to Orlando," said Magic GM Rob Hennigan. "Luke is a proven player in this league who is well-respected as a teammate and competitor. The depth and veteran experience he will provide to our backcourt will help our team continue to grow." Ridnour will likely backup Elfrid Payton in Orlando, and his minutes will be in the low 20s, which takes him out of the conversation in standard leagues.

Wed Jul 16 201414:53Magic to sign Luke Ridnour
The Magic will sign Luke Ridnour.
This move will help offset losing Jameer Nelson, but the Magic are clearly going into a rebuilding mode. Elfrid Payton's minutes should be safe and Ridnour will likely see time in the low 20s this season.

Sat Apr 12 201422:28Luke Ridnour goes for 12 & 8 in win
Luke Ridnour started for Kemba Walker (groin) and had 12 points, eight assists, a block and two 3-pointers on 4-of-8 shooting on Saturday.
He's not worth starting in most leagues, but the Bobcats may continue to use him in hopes that Walker's groin is good to go by the start of the playoffs.

Fri Apr 11 201423:28Luke Ridnour plays OK in start
Luke Ridnour played 31 minutes in a start against the Celtics in Friday's 106-103 loss, scoring nine points two boards, five assists, three steals and one 3-pointer.
Kemba Walker was suddenly questionable today and he missed this game, which was his first game out of the lineup since Feb. 1. The Bobcats get the dream matchup against the Sixers on Saturday, so Ridnour could be a plug-and-play option for fantasy owners.

Fri Apr 11 201418:09Luke Ridnour starting on Friday
Luke Ridnour will start in place of Kemba Walker (groin) vs. the Celtics on Friday.
He's been the backup to Kemba since joining the team after the trade deadline. Ridnour's numbers with the Bobcats are not great, making 35.0 percent from the field for 3.1 points per game in 13.3 minutes. He's a risky option in fantasy leagues with 13 games tonight.

Fri Apr 11 201413:17Ridnour, Pargo expected to eat up PG minutes
Luke Ridnour and Jannero Pargo are expected to share point guard duties in Friday's game against the Celtics.
Kemba Walker (groin) is on the bad side of a questionable tag. The rotation is unknown right now because the last time Walker was out, Ramon Sessions was still a Bobcat. We're guessing that Ridnour will start and share time pretty evenly with Pargo, making both low-upside streamers.
