Magic's Jalen Suggs: Avoids serious injury

Suggs was diagnosed with a left knee capsule sprain and a bone bruise in Friday's preseason game versus the Mavericks, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

While Suggs is slated to miss some time because of the injury, he's at least avoided a worst-case scenario such as torn ACL. Per Wojnarowski, Suggs' timetable to return the floor will depend on how he responds to treatment, and the Magic aren't yet discounting the possibility of the second-year player being ready to go for their Oct. 19 season opener in Detroit. If both Suggs and Gary Harris (knee) are sidelined to begin the campaign, the Magic could turn to Terrence Ross and R.J. Hampton to fill most of the minutes at the off-guard spot alongside point man Cole Anthony.
