Magic's Jalen Suggs: Diagnosed with MCL contusion
Rotowire
Suggs was diagnosed with a Grade 1 MCL contusion in his right knee following the Magic's 121-114 loss to the Bulls on Friday. He won't play in Sunday's game against the Pacers, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
There isn't a clear timeline for Suggs' return, as it will depend on how his knee reacts to treatment. However, a Grade 1 injury typically doesn't carry a long recovery timeline, so he can be considered day-to-day unless the Magic say otherwise. With Suggs ruled out for Sunday, Tyus Jones and Tristan da Silva are the top candidates to enter the Magic's starting five, while Jase Richardson will likely see a bump in playing time off the bench.

Magic's Jalen Suggs: Questionable to return Friday
Rotowire
Suggs is questionable to return to Friday's game against the Bulls due to a right knee strain.
Suggs suffered the knee injury in the third quarter, and he's questionable to return to action in the fourth. If the point guard is unable to return, expect Tyus Jones and Jase Richardson to see more playing time in the backcourt next to Anthony Black.

Magic's Jalen Suggs: Collects three steals in return
Rotowire
Suggs (hip) tallied 11 points (4-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, three assists and three steals across 25 minutes in Wednesday's 112-110 win over the Pacers.
Suiting up for the first time since Dec. 13 following a seven-game absence due to a left hip contusion, Suggs reclaimed his spot in the starting five but operated with a slight minutes restriction. A 46.6 percent shooter from the field for the season, Suggs exhibited some rustiness on the offensive end, but he was able to offset his shooting woes to some degree by delivering three steals in his return. The Magic will likely monitor Suggs' playing time carefully over the next few games, but he should eventually settle into a near-30-minute role once the hip issue is further in the rear-view mirror.

Magic's Jalen Suggs: May miss extended time
Rotowire
Suggs (hip) might be out for an extended period, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports Saturday.
Suggs was clearly battling discomfort for a few games, but he was playing through the pain and scored 25 first-half points against the Knicks on Saturday during an NBA Cup semifinals matchup. However, the point guard aggravated the issue in the third quarter and was ultimately unable to finish the contest despite multiple efforts to stay in the game. Suggs will be evaluated over the next couple of days, but it sounds like the team is preparing to be without him for at least a few weeks. "He's been battling through some pain the last few games," Magic forward Paolo Banchero said. "He's just been giving it his all for the team and kind of playing through it, so you hope it's not too bad, whatever the injury is. We don't want to lose him."

Magic's Jalen Suggs: Cashes in trio of triples in win
Rotowire
Suggs closed with 20 points (7-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, four assists and two steals in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 117-108 win over the Heat.

While he has not been shooting the ball well from beyond the arc (meager 33.3 percent clip this season), he continues to factor in as a two-way presence and has been integral to Orlando's success.

Suggs limped to the locker room after grabbing at his upper leg/groin area in the final quarter, though he returned to the bench shortly thereafter. The 24-year-old point guard's status will still be worth monitoring ahead of Tuesday's NBA Cup game against Miami, and if he's unable to play, Anthony Black is expected to enter the starting five.
