MRI Confirms Hip Contusion for Magic Guard Jalen Suggs With Timeline Unclear

Orlando says his status hinges on his response to treatment.

Overview

  • Suggs was injured on a third-quarter drive during Saturday's NBA Cup semifinal against the Knicks in Las Vegas and did not return.
  • He finished with 26 points and seven assists in 29 minutes, including 25 points before halftime.
  • Postgame observations noted he was in clear discomfort and exited the arena in a wheelchair that team officials called precautionary.
  • The Magic plan to evaluate him back in Orlando, with potential backcourt minutes shifting to Tyus Jones, Anthony Black and Jett Howard if he is sidelined.
  • Orlando is already without Franz Wagner due to a high left ankle sprain, and the next game is Thursday at Denver.
