Second-year guard Jalen Suggs’ return from his ankle injury and Wendell Carter Jr. tying his career high in points weren’t enough to put the Orlando Magic over the hump against the Thunder in Oklahoma City.
Suggs, who was sidelined for the last five games because of a sprained right ankle, returned Tuesday to give the Magic guard depth they’ve missed but they blew an 11-point fourth-quarter lead, losing to the Thunder, 116-108, to fall to 1-7.
Suggs had nine points on 3-of-14 shooting (1 of 9 on 3s) to go with four assists, four turnovers and two steals.
