Dealing with back strain The Magic announced Thursday that further evaluation has confirmed a lower back strain for Suggs and his return will depend on how he responds to treatment.
Impact Suggs has already been ruled out for Thursday's contest after missing Orlando's last two outings due to his back injury. Cole Anthony will likely continue to start in his absence. Suggs seems certain to also miss Friday's matchup with Milwaukee, but his response to treatment will ultimately determine how long the 23-year-old guard is forced to sit out.

Won't play Thursday Suggs is out for Thursday's game against the Timberwolves.
Impact Despite participating in Wednesday's practice, Suggs will be unable to go for the Magic on Thursday due to a back strain. His next chance to play is Friday's game against the Bucks on the second leg of Orlando's back-to-back. In the star guard's absence, Cole Anthony should continue starting at point guard in a tough matchup against Minnesota.

Takes part in practice Magic head coach Jamahl Mosley said that Suggs (back) was "just moving around a little bit" during Wednesday's practice, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports. "Jalen's doing...
Impact Based on Mosley's comments, Suggs didn't appear to be a full participant in practice, so the third-year guard is likely trending toward missing a third straight game Thursday versus the Timberwolves in the front end of a back-to-back set. Cole Anthony has served as Orlando's starting point guard in Suggs' stead the past two contests, averaging 18.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.5 three-pointers, 2.0 assists and 1.5 blocks in 32.5 minutes between those games. Anthony will make for an appealing streaming option Thursday, assuming Suggs remains out.

Won't return Friday Suggs (back) won't return to Friday's game against the Raptors, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network reports.
Impact Suggs took a nasty fall and was taken off the court in a wheelchair, so this update isn't surprising. The Magic have had very bad luck with injuries in recent weeks, and if Suggs is forced to miss time, then Cole Anthony and Cory Joseph should be in line to handle more minutes in the backcourt. It's uncertain if Suggs will recover in time to face the Jazz on Sunday.

Scores 24 points in loss Wednesday Suggs provided 24 points (9-20 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists, two blocks and three steals over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 105-96 loss to Detroit.
Impact Suggs has been forced to play a more prominent role on offense due to the absence of players such as Paolo Banchero (oblique), Franz Wagner (oblique) and Moritz Wagner (knee), but he's embraced the challenge. This was the third time he surpassed the 20-point mark over his last four appearances, and Suggs is averaging 18.8 points per game since the beginning of December. He's also having a career-best year as a scorer with 16.8 points per game in 2024-25, up from the 12.6 points per contest he averaged in 2023-24.
