Scores 19 points Friday Suggs amassed 19 points (6-16 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 6-6 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 34 minutes during Friday's 98-86 win over Philadelphia.

Impact Suggs struggled from three-point range Friday, but he still managed to finish as the Magic's second-leading scorer behind Franz Wagner (31). Suggs has been less efficient from the field over his last five outings, during which he has averaged 11.2 points on just 32.3 percent shooting (including 22.2 percent from three on 7.2 3PA/G). He'll look to get back on track against the Suns on Monday.

Briefly exits game Tuesday Suggs exited the game following a collision with 8:46 remaining in the second quarter, though he has since returned, Cody Taylor of USA Today reports.

Impact Suggs was slow to get up after the collision, but he returned to the game in the second quarter after being checked out by medical staff on the bench. The 23-year-old will likely remain in the rest of the way, though his status is something to monitor moving forward.

Held to five points Suggs racked up five points (2-8 FG, 1-6 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists over 18 minutes during Sunday's 121-94 victory over the Wizards.

Impact Suggs was held to single-digit points for the second game in a row, and his minutes were reduced with Cole Anthony having the hot hand off the bench. Despite a couple duds on the offensive side of the ball, Suggs has had a strong campaign overall through 11 games with averages of 15.3 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.0 blocks, 1.5 steals and 2.1 three-pointers.

Struggles in loss to Dallas Suggs closed Sunday's 108-85 loss to the Mavericks with 10 points (4-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 29 minutes.

Impact Suggs was one of the players who needed to step up for the Magic in the absence of Paolo Banchero (oblique). However, he was unable to make an impact and was limited to just 10 points while finishing with more field goal attempts than points scored. Suggs was coming off four straight games with 17 or more points, and the Magic need him to deliver the goods on offense while Banchero is out, so he'll aim to bounce back against the Thunder on Monday.

All-around showing in defeat Suggs finished Friday's 120-109 loss to Cleveland with 28 points (10-20 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 7-8 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists, one block and three steals over 37 minutes.

Impact Suggs did a little bit of everything Friday for Orlando, leading all players in the contest in scoring, assists and steals while hauling in a team-high-tying rebound total in a well-rounded performance. Suggs, who set a new season high in scoring and rebounds, has gotten off to a hot start to the 2024-25 campaign while posting at least 20 points, five rebounds and three assists in three contests.

Career-high 28 points Suggs finished Friday's 120-109 loss to Cleveland with 28 points (10-20 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 7-8 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists, one block and three steals over 37 minutes.

Impact The No. 5 overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, Suggs has yet to really break out offensively. However, the defensive-minded guard is being asked to take on a larger role early in the 2024-25 campaign, as Franz Wagner has missed time due to an illness and Paolo Banchero (oblique) is now out for an extended time. Suggs has seized the opportunity thus far, scoring at least 20 points in three of the first six games and dishing out at least five assists in three straight. Suggs averaged 12.6 points and 2.7 assists per game last season.

Big all-around effort in loss Suggs totaled 17 points (7-16 FG, 3-9 3Pt), six rebounds, five assists, two blocks and four steals over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 102-99 loss to Chicago.

Impact The fourth-year point guard made an impact at both ends of the court as he continues his hot start to the season. Suggs is averaging 16.8 points, 5.0 boards, 3.8 assists, 3.4 threes, 2.2 steals and 1.0 blocks through the first five games of the campaign, numbers which would represent career highs nearly across the board if he's able to maintain something even close to that pace.

Chips in 25 points vs. Indiana Suggs accumulated 25 points (8-17 FG, 6-13 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal across 35 minutes during Monday's 119-115 win over the Pacers.

Impact Suggs' 25 points and seven assists Monday were second on the Magic behind Paolo Banchero's career night (50 points and nine assists). After going 3-for-5 from three over the first two games of season, Suggs has gone 11-for-24 from deep over his last two outings and appears to have been given the green light from three-point range. Suggs and the 3-1 Magic will hit the road to take on the Bulls on Wednesday.

Solid two-way play in loss Suggs amassed 21 points (6-17 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, four steals, three assists and one block across 31 minutes during Saturday's 124-111 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Suggs posted the second-highest scoring mark on the Magic behind Franz Wagner (23) while racking up a game-high four steals. The 23-year-old was more involved in the offensive scheme compared to the first two regular-season games, likely due to Kentavious Caldwell-Pope shooting 1-for-6 from the field and Paolo Banchero shooting 4-for-12. Suggs is expected to continue receiving meaningful minutes in the starting five, and he has seen a gradual uptick in playing time since the regular-season opener.

Signs five-year extension Suggs and the Magic agreed to a five-year, $150.5 million rookie contract extension, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact Suggs posted career-high shooting splits (47/40/76) last season but has yet to truly break out offensively in the NBA. However, his defense has always been elite, and he was named to the All-Defensive Second Team for the 2023-24 campaign. Suggs is heading into Year 4 and will look to take another step forward for the up-and-coming Magic, who surprisingly finished 5th in the Eastern Conference last season.

OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Strong two-way performance Suggs totaled 12 points (3-8 FG, 0-4 3PT, 6-7 FT), seven assists, four rebounds, four steals and one block in 24 minutes during Friday's preseason win over the 76ers.

Impact Suggs was a pest on the defensive end, tallying five combined steals and blocks. Slated as the starting point guard, Suggs is primed for a potential breakout after finally delivering a productive campaign during the 2023-24 season. Although he may not be a prototypical point guard, his assist and steal numbers should be enough to keep him afloat, making him a viable target in the ninth or tenth rounds of drafts.
