Michael Scotto: JUST IN: The Atlanta Hawks and Caleb Houstan agreed to a one-year deal, sources told @hoopshype . The 22-year-old shot 50.7% from 3-point range after the All-Star break and has improved his 3-point shooting in each of his first 3 NBA seasons. Agent Jason Glushon finalized the deal
It is believed Orlando's Sunday business — declining the $11 million team option for Moe Wagner along with the $2.1 million team option for Caleb Houstan — represents two steps toward creating the financial wiggle room needed to finally land Tyus Jones in the Magic Kingdom after the veteran point guard has been linked to them for years.
Shams Charania: The Orlando Magic are declining team options on Moe Wagner ($11 million) and Caleb Houstan ($2.1 million), sources tell ESPN. The Magic retain both players' Bird Rights, meaning Orlando could still re-sign them.
Dan Savage: Final: Magic 121, Kings 91 Paolo Banchero notched 24 points, six rebounds and six assists. Franz Wagner added 21 points, while Caleb Houstan knocked down a game-high six 3-pointers on his way to 18 points.
There’s a reason Anthony (whose primary purpose in life seems to be to make his close friends, a group that includes both Houstan and Carter, uncomfortable for his own entertainment) was insistent that a dunk whose existence remains in question actually occurred: Houstan, a 6-foot-8 hustler, is the tallest qualifying player (500 minutes played) currently in the NBA who has never dunked in-game. He can do so in other settings. He dunked in college. He’s done it in open gyms. And according to Anthony, he once brutalized Carter in a scrimmage, even if Anthony, known best for his practical joking, seems to be the only one who recalls the moment. “Caleb ain’t never dunked on me,” Carter said. “That’s cap.” The center who has played with Anthony for five seasons and Houstan for three couldn’t help but laugh. This, he declared, was just his bud being a “chatterer,” as always. “He’s just always chatting. … He’s from New York,” Carter said, chuckling at Anthony’s attempts to spread what he called lies. “You know how that s— goes.”

The Magic guaranteed Caleb Houstan‘s $2.01 million salary for the 2024-25 season. Orlando had until Sunday to either guarantee or decline the third year of Houstan’s rookie-scale contract. Had the Magic decided to not guarantee, Houstan would have become an unrestricted free agent.
