Jalen Suggs Fantasy Stats

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (knee) will be re-evaluated in two weeks after an MRI revealed a mild right knee bone bruise, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. Suggs avoided structural damage after his knee buckled on a transition layup late in Sunday's win over New York. The 25-year-old has played only 92 games over the last two seasons, so Orlando will likely be cautious with his recovery. Anthony Black should take on a much larger role with Paolo Banchero (ankle) also sidelined after scoring 18 points with five assists in his season debut. Black averaged 17.8 points, 4.3 assists, and 3.9 rebounds in 23 games without Suggs last season.

ESPN's Shams Charania reports that Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (knee) has been diagnosed with a mild bone bruise in his right knee and will be re-evaluated in two weeks. Suggs avoided any major structural damage, per Charania. The 25-year-old was helped to the locker room late in Sunday's matchup against the New York Knicks after grabbing his right knee following a transition play, according to the Orlando Sentinel's Jason Beede. He finished with four points, six rebounds, and six assists before leaving the game. Suggs also missed time last season with an MCL contusion in the same knee. With Suggs sidelined and Paolo Banchero (ankle) already out, Anthony Black could take on a significantly larger playmaking role, boosting his fantasy value.

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (knee) was helped to the locker room late in Sunday's game against the New York Knicks after grabbing his right knee following a transition play, according to the Orlando Sentinel's Jason Beede. Suggs had four points, six rebounds, and six assists before exiting. The 25-year-old missed time last season with an MCL contusion in the same knee, so his availability for Wednesday in Toronto will be worth watching closely. If Suggs has to sit, Anthony Black could be pushed into a much larger on-ball role with Paolo Banchero (ankle) already out.

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs could benefit from spending more time off the ball under new head coach Sean Sweeney, according to Orlando Magic Daily. Suggs hit 39.3 percent of his catch-and-shoot threes on 3.8 attempts per game last season but finished at 33.9 percent overall from deep on a team-high 6.3 attempts. His efficiency also dipped when injuries forced him into a larger scoring role. Suggs averaged 17.8 points but shot just 28.9 percent from three between Paolo Banchero's groin injury and his own hip issue. Playing more off Banchero and Franz Wagner could help clean up his shot selection, while Anthony Black could take on some additional creation duties.

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (illness) is available to suit up for Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Suggs missed the last two games due to illness but is good to go for tonight's matchup. The 24-year-old has averaged 14.9 points, 4.8 assists, 3.8 rebounds, and 1.6 steals in 30.1 minutes per contest across his last eight outings. Jevon Carter and Jamal Cain's roles will decrease now that Suggs is back in the lineup, after the two shared starting duties during his absence.

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (illness) is in danger of missing a third consecutive game, as the team has listed him as questionable for Thursday's tilt against the Sacramento Kings. The versatile guard has been feeling under the weather and missed a back-to-back set against Indiana and Cleveland at the start of the week. Jevon Carter and Jamal Cain have shared starts during Suggs' absence. After Carter's two-point dud on Monday night against Indiana, Cain got the nod on Tuesday and delivered a strong performance against Cleveland with 17 points, six rebounds, and three assists. Carter was productive off the bench, so it seems likely that Magic head coach Jamahl Mosley won't tinker with his lineup if Suggs remains out against Sacramento.

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (illness) will remain sidelined on Tuesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Due to illness, Suggs was unable to play on Monday night versus Indiana, and the team has also quickly ruled him out for the second game of a back-to-back. Jevon Carter filled in for Suggs in the starting lineup against Indiana but was a massive disappointment. After scoring at least 10 points in four consecutive games, Carter managed just two points. To make things worse, he didn't register a single assist in 24 minutes. On Tuesday, Carter faces a much tougher matchup, making him a risky choice for fantasy managers.

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (back) will return from his three-game absence on Thursday versus Houston. Tristan da Silva had been starting while Suggs was on the shelf, most recently amassing 13 points, six rebounds, and two steals in Tuesday's 110-109 win over the Los Angeles Lakers. Although it's realistic to assume Suggs might see less work than usual in his first game back, his presence should eliminate nearly all of da Silva's streaming appeal. The same can be said for Jett Howard and Jevon Carter, who were sporadically productive while Suggs was out of commission.

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (back) remains on the injury report ahead of Thursday's matchup with the Houston Rockets. He is listed as questionable with a back strain. Suggs has already missed three games because of the injury, allowing Tristan da Silva to reclaim a starting berth. After a midseason slump, da Silva has performed well recently. He has averaged 10.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.0 steals, and 1.0 blocks over the past three games. On Thursday, da Silva may continue to contribute in Suggs' absence, but scoring could be challenging against the league's fourth-best defense.

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (back) is questionable for a meeting with the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night. He's dealing with a back strain and could be sidelined for a third consecutive contest. Unfortunately, injuries have left a large dent in Suggs' season, but his health issues have also provided an opportunity for others to step up. Anthony Black is having a breakout campaign, while Tristan da Silva has recently filled in for Suggs in the starting lineup. As a starter, da Silva has contributed 10.5 points and 3.9 rebounds per game this season.
