Magic's Suggs awaits tests after injuring left hipAfter a spectacular 25-point first half, Magic guard Jalen Suggs exited Saturday's game against the Knicks after attempting to play through a left hip injury he suffered in the third quarter.
Jalen Suggs: Does not return SaturdaySuggs (hip) did not return to Saturday's 132-120 loss to the Knicks. He finished with 26 points (10-16 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 4-6 FT), seven assists and two rebounds across 29 minutes.
Jalen Suggs: Questionable to return SaturdaySuggs exited to the locker room in the fourth quarter of Saturday's game against the Knicks and is questionable to return due to a sore left hip.
Jalen Suggs lit up the Heat with 20 points (7-of-13 FGs), three rebounds, four assists, two steals and three three-pointers on Tuesday.The start of the season was rough for Suggs, largely because of a minutes restriction. Since then, he has dealt with injuries that have limited him, but this current stretch has been excellent. He has scored at least 20 points in three of his last four games, and with Franz Wagner (ankle) set to miss time, he'll continue to be prioritized on offense.
Jalen Suggs, Desmond Bane, Anthony Black, Paolo Banchero and Wendell Carter Jr. will start against the Heat on Tuesday.In Orlando's first game without Franz Wagner (ankle), Black will slide into the starting unit. This will be Black's fifth start this season, and he has generally been productive. Wagner is expected to miss multiple weeks, and if Black is able to maintain this starting role, he will be a must-roster player in most formats.
