The Magic declined Ingles' $11 million team option for the 2024-25 season Saturday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. Though Orlando wasn't interested in retaining Ingles at an $11 million salary figure, the team is expected to try and re-sign the 36-year-old at a more favorable rate. However, Ingles' skills as a perimeter shooter and secondary playmaker should make him a sought-after player in free agency for contending clubs looking to bolster their bench unit, so the Magic could face competition in their bid to retain him. Over 68 appearances for Orlando in 2023-24, Ingles averaged 4.4 points, 3.0 assists, 2.1 rebounds and 0.6 steals in 17.2 minutes while shooting 43.6 percent from the field.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.
