The Magic will allow Al Harrington to work out for other teams in early June.
Orlando has granted the veteran permission because he's just not in their future plans. He has two years left on his deal for approximately $15 million, but only half of his salary each season is guaranteed. The Magic will attempt to trade him during the offseason. May 16 - 9:41 AM

Al Harrington - F/C - Magic

GM Rob Hennigan said there has been no decision made on Al Harrington's future with the team.

It would be a total surprise if Harrington isn't dealt or bought out in the offseason as the Magic are stacked with intriguing prospects along the frontline. Expect to see the veteran wearing a different uniform next year.

Al Harrington - F/C - Magic

Al Harrington, who hasn't played over the last three games, could be seated on the bench for the remainder of the season as the Magic evaluate their young players.

"It's really nothing to do with his knees," Jacque Vaughn said. "It's a coach's decision. I'm going to give the opportunity to play some of our young guys and give them some experience." Harrington was never a long-term fit in Orlando, and the Magic will likely try and trade him or buy him out in the offseason. Harrington being out of the picture means Tobias Harris and Maurice Harkless should continue to see heavy minutes the rest of the way.

Al Harrington - F/C - Magic

Al Harrington scored 10 points on 4-of-7 shooting (including two threes) with five rebounds, three assists and two steals in 28 minutes off the bench on Monday.

Harrington is putting up decent per-minute numbers, but he has yet to cross the 20-minute threshold in a game. There is still a ton of risk for DNPs and injury, but owners should at least have him on a watch list while he's taking steps forward.

Al Harrington - F/C - Magic

Al Harrington made his season debut on Tuesday and had nine points, three rebounds and a 3-pointer on 4-of-7 shooting in 12 minutes.

He picked up a nasty infection after "routine" knee surgery last summer and had several more surgeries, and is just thankful to have resumed his career. We doubt he'll get more than 15 minutes a night for the Magic, but Andrew Nicholson's owners are not pleased, as he played just 17 minutes for 13 points, two rebounds and a block. Hopefully Nicholson's minutes bounce back in his next game.

Al Harrington - F/C - Magic

Al Harrington (knee) expects to make his season debut in Tuesday's game against the Sixers.

Harrington admitted he feels nervous about the state of his knee, but is still going to give it ago. We'd expect extremely limited minutes as the 33-year-old veteran is an awful fit on the rebuilding Magic. They're committed to developing the front line of Moe Harkless, Andrew Nicholson and Nik Vucevic.

Al Harrington - F/C - Magic

Al Harrington (knee) could make his season debut on Tuesday.

Harrington is not listed on the Magic's newest injury report, and that's outstanding news for a guy who has fought long and hard to return from multiple knee surgeries in the offseason. Unfortunately, the Magic aren't likely to give him a role big enough to sustain consistent fantasy value, but he should help with Hedo Turkoglu still suspended.

Al Harrington - F/C - Magic

Al Harrington (knee surgery) never made it into Friday's game despite the Magic being down to five available players late in the fourth quarter.

Coach Jacques Vaughn said Harrington was available to play but noted the Magic wanted to be safe with his return and not rush him back into game action. Even when healthy, Harrington won't offer fantasy owners much of anything and can be safely left on the waiver wire in most formats.

Al Harrington - F/C - Magic

Al Harrington (knee surgery) will be active Friday for the extremely short-handed Magic.

Whether Harrington actually plays Friday is up to coach Jacques Vaughn. The Magic only have eight "healthy" bodies at this point as they wait for Tobias Harris, Doron Lamb and Beno Udrih to join the team Saturday.

Al Harrington - F/C - Magic

Al Harrington (knee surgery) could make his debut next week for the Magic.

He has reportedly upped his effort in rehab, but his timetable has been pushed back multiple times throughout the season. The Magic lost a lot of their depth at the deadline, so Harrington could be in line to get some minutes in the rotation. That said, owners that wisely acquired Moe Harkless or Andrew Nicholson shouldn't be concerned at this point. Harrington is only worth a look in very deep leagues until he is active.

Al Harrington (knee) will not make his debut on Wednesday.

Harrington is working diligently to return after an offseason where he had multiple procedures, and the Magic may have been hoping to showcase him for trade talks. But he's still not ready for game action just yet, and may not be able to pass a physical right now.

Al Harrington - F/C - Magic

Al Harrington did conditioning drills prior to Friday's game against the Cavs.

It's a good sign that he's progressing but we're still in the dark for a potential return. It would be good timing to get him back on the floor to showcase the veteran for a trade, and owners should keep one eye on him with the Magic desperately needing veterans on the floor on any given night.

Al Harrington - F/C - Magic

Al Harrington (knee surgery) feels that he is close to making his season debut.

"I'm just going to keep rehabbing," he said. "There's a light at the end of the tunnel." Harrington is working diligently to get back after having to undergo multiple knee surgeries in the offseason, but there is still no firm timetable for his return.

Al Harrington - F/C - Magic

Al Harrington (knee surgery) is "at least a couple of weeks away" from playing.

Harrington is targeting a debut before the February 21 trade deadline, but it's been a long rehab for him after multiple knee surgeries in the offseason. With no guarantees his knee holds up and a very limited role when he does return, Harrington is waiver wire fodder in most formats.

Al Harrington - F/C - Magic

Al Harrington (knee surgery) was a participant in practice on Sunday.

He has been behind schedule since he had surgery back in July, but getting back on the practice court is a huge step for him. The Magic are 22nd in the league in scoring and they could use Harrington to add depth to the rotation. He doesn't have much upside and he'll likely see a limited role for the foreseeable future, so we'd leave him on the wire in almost all leagues.
