The Orlando Magic and wing Terrence Ross are finalizing a contract buyout that will make Ross a free agent to close out the season. With the conclusion of the 2022-23 NBA Trade Deadline, teams will look to reach these types of agreements with expiring contracts that they do not plan to bring back next season. Ross will be free to sign with a playoff contender for the remainder of the season once the buyout is finalized. The talented wing has been a member of the Orlando Magic for seven seasons. Several playoff contenders will pursue the veteran wing.

This season with the Orlando Magic, Terrence Ross averaged eight points, two rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game. He paired those numbers with a field goal percentage of 43.1 percent and a three-point percentage of 38.1 percent. Ross is a great rotational player and with his experience, it is likely several teams will attempt to sign him after his contract buyout is finalized. The Dallas Mavericks, who lost some depth in the Kyrie Irving trade, emerged as the frontrunner quickly after news broke about Ross and the Magic working on a buyout.
