Magic’s Jalen Suggs avoids serious knee injury, suffers sprain and bone bruise

ORLANDO, Fla. — Second-year guard Jalen Suggs suffered a left knee capsule sprain and bone bruise during the Orlando Magic’s 110-105 preseason win over the Dallas Mavericks on Friday, the team announced Saturday morning.

Suggs was helped off the floor and taken to the locker room with the injury in the first quarter after Mavericks guard Spencer Dinwiddie pushed him from behind while attempting to set a pick for Paolo Banchero.

Suggs hyperextend his leg trying to regain his balance and avoid colliding with Mavericks forward Dorian Finney-Smith.

The Magic ruled out Suggs shortly after the third quarter started, saying he’d undergo further testing.

The Magic, who don’t publicly disclose return-to-play times after injuries, said Suggs’ return will depend on how he responds to treatment.
