The Magic are re-signing small forward James Ennis on a one-year contract, The Athletic’s Shams Charania tweets.
Orlando acquired Ennis from Philadelphia in a trade-deadline deal in February. He started 18 of 20 regular-season games with the Magic, averaging 8.5 PPG, 4.8 RPG and 1.1 APG in 24.5 MPG.
Ennis has also played for Miami, New Orleans, Memphis, Houston and Detroit in his journeyman career. In 347 career games, he’s averaged 6.5 PPG and 3.3 RPG in 20.1 MPG. He’s a career 35.0% 3-point shooter.
Ennis had a player option worth $2.13 million but he declined it in order to test the free-agent market. He wound up right back where he started and could be the Magic's starting small forward, depending upon how the remainder of Orlando's offseason plays out.
