Posts first NBA double-double Suggs supplied 20 points (7-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-8 FT), six rebounds, 10 assists and one block across 26 minutes during Saturday's 132-105 loss to the Suns.

Impact Suggs was easily the Magic's most impressive performer in the lopsided loss, leading the team in points and dimes. The season-high assist total helped the rookie post the first double-double of his NBA career. This was a much-needed bounce-back effort for Suggs after he totaled just 10 points on 4-for-13 shooting over his previous two contests while dealing with an Achilles issue.
