Orlando waives VFL Jordan Bone

Former Vol Jordan Boned placed on waivers by NBA’s Magic.

The Orlando Magic have placed guard Jordan Bone on waivers.

Bone, a guard and former University of Tennessee basketball standout, was waived after the Magic’s 123-108 loss to Toronto on Feb. 2.

The Ensworth School product and Nashville native had three points, four assists and two rebounds, while logging 17 minutes in the contest against the Raptors.

Bone was signed to a two-way deal by the Magic just before the 2020-21 season began and was slated to split time between Orlando and its NBA G-League affiliate in Lakeland.

He was placed on waivers to make room for Frank Mason III, who inked a free agent deal with the Magic.

Mason III is the NBA G-League’s reigning Most Valuable Player.

Bone appeared in 14 games for Orlando this season.

He averaged 4.0 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game, while shooting 42.6 percent from the floor and 31.3 percent from beyond the 3-point arc.

During his time with the Volunteers, Bone was a Second-Team All-Southeastern Conference standout in 2019.

He was drafted by New Orleans in the second round of the 2019 NBA draft.

Bone previously played for the Pistons and the G-League’s Grand Rapids Drive, where he was coached by former UT head coach Donnie Tyndall.
