The Orlando Magic are seeing their first-round pick get his first action in the NBA.
With 4:22 left in the third quarter, Magic rookie point guard Jase Richardson checked into the game against the Chicago Bulls, making his official debut in the NBA.
Richardson was a "DNP - Coaches' Decision" in the Magic's first two games of the season, but head coach Jamahl Mosley turned to him to try and get a spark in the third quarter.
Jalen Suggs' absence due to left knee injury management definitely helped Richardson move up the depth chart to get into the game, but the Magic can rely on him as someone who can generate some offense for Orlando.
The Magic are in a tight contest with the Bulls, which will likely go down to the wire for a third consecutive game to start the season.
