Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs struggled in Sunday's loss to the Cavaliers. The 22-year-old had one of his best offensive performances in Game 6, finishing with 22 points. However, he fizzled in Game 7, ending the afternoon with only 10 points off 2-for-14 shooting from the field. Although Suggs added nine boards, four assists, and one steal, he had five turnovers. But overall, Suggs showed signs of growth during the 2023-24 campaign and finished by averaging a career-high 12.6 points. He also shot 39.7% from deep, a significant upgrade from last season. While constructing the roster around Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner is the team's priority moving ahead, Suggs should hold a stable spot in the rotation.
Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (knee) returned to Monday's contest against the Cavs. The 22-year-old suffered a left knee strain in the first quarter and needed assistance to the locker room. It appeared his night was over. However, Suggs managed to return to start the second half. Without question, DFS managers who have him in their lineups are thrilled he's back on the floor. However, Suggs will likely appear on the injury report heading into Game 3.
Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (leg) exited Monday's postseason matchup with the Cavaliers. The 22-year-old suffered an apparent left knee injury in the first quarter, requiring assistance off the court and to the locker room. Considering he couldn't put weight on his leg, it could mean his evening is over. With that said, there should be more information on his condition soon. But as long as Suggs isn't on the floor, Markelle Fultz and Cole Anthony will see more minutes.
Jalen Suggs And Markelle Fultz Won't Play On Sunday
Orlando Magic guards Jalen Suggs (thigh) and Markelle Fultz (knee) have been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against Indiana. Suggs misses a second consecutive game with a right thigh contusion, while Fultz drops out of the lineup with a left knee strain. Both players were initially regarded as questionable for the contest. The backcourt absentees should provide a big boost to Cole Anthony in a very attractive matchup against an up-tempo team that doesn't defend well. Anthony Black and Gary Harris also have a chance to play larger roles, but they tend to be quite unproductive with their minutes on the court.
Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (thigh) won't play on Friday against the Knicks. He's dropping out of the lineup for the first time in nine games due to a right thigh contusion. Suggs' absence could mean another start for Anthony Black, although the 20-year-old has impacted things very little during his rookie season and won't be a recommended fantasy target. Markelle Fultz and Cole Anthony are looking at a chance to grab extra work off the bench, but they have also been hit-and-miss throughout the fantasy season.
Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (groin) is not listed on the injury report, indicating his availability for Thursday's game against the Cavaliers. The 22-year-old was ruled out late before the team's last game before the All-Star break but appears ready to play as the season resumes. With Markelle Fultz (knee) sidelined, Suggs may see a slight increase in usage, providing an opportunity for him to further showcase his skills. So far this season, Suggs has been averaging 12.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 2.4 assists in 26.9 minutes per game.
Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (wrist) could be out for a third consecutive game on Tuesday versus Washington, as the team has listed him as questionable. The 22-year-old is nursing a left wrist sprain. Suggs has had a good campaign with 12.4 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 1.6 steals. Only four players in the league have averaged more steals in 2023-24. Gary Harris has been Suggs' replacement in the starting unit for the past couple of games, while the rest of the backcourt also carries a heavier burden. This is a nice pace-up spot for Orlando, and the Magic players should be good fantasy options on Tuesday.
Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (wrist) has officially been tagged as questionable for their Saturday night matchup against the Indiana Pacers with a left wrist sprain. The 22-year-old was forced to miss their last contest against the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday, but that might be the only time he needs to miss with this injury. Overall, he's only missed three games so far this season which has been a nice change of pace from his first two, injury-plagued, seasons. If he is forced to remain on the sidelines, however, Gary Harris would probably stick in the starting five but he would still be a risky start in most fantasy leagues.
Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (wrist) will play on Sunday against the Celtics. He was listed as questionable because of a left wrist sprain, missing Saturday's shootaround. However, he will suit up, which is good news, considering Markelle Fultz (knee) won't return versus Boston. The 22-year-old has averaged a career-high 12.5 points with 3.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and 1.7 steals during the 2023-24 campaign. Although Suggs isn't consistently productive, he's worth starting in nearly all fantasy setups.
Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (wrist) is questionable ahead of Sunday's game in Boston. He had 19 points in 26 minutes in Friday's matchup with the Celtics, the first of back-to-back meetings between the clubs. However, he's battling left wrist soreness, which could be enough to keep him out for Sunday's rematch. With Markelle Fultz (doubtful), the Magic could rely on Cole Anthony and Anthony Black to fill the void. Black is not a reliable fantasy option. On the other hand, Anthony, averaging 15.2 points in 24 games this season, is a much safer fantasy alternative.
