More fear than harm for Jalen Suggs
The Magic can breathe a sigh of relief. After the loss Franz Wagner Then Jalen Suggs In the space of a week, each time against New York, the franchise was at least reassured by the results of medical examinations: the German winger’s ankle and rear hip did not reveal any major damage.
Hurt and visibly weakened after a bad fall, Jalen Suggs tried to return to the floor in the final quarter, before returning to the locker room minutes later, too constrained by the pain. Paolo Banchero explained after the match that his teammate had been suffering from discomfort for several matches.
“He struggled for a few games, but he continued to give everything for the team by playing despite the pain. Hopefully it won’t be too serious, regardless of the injury. We don’t want to lose him.”, he explained.
Orlando especially feared a torn oblique, an injury that had already cost the Magic dearly, especially Paolo Banchero. Good news, though: scans revealed only a hip contusion. The radio went on to confirm that it narrowly avoided a potentially more serious problem.
No timetable for his return has been announced, but his unavailability shouldn’t last forever. The medical staff are now waiting to see how the hip reacts in the coming days before making a decision. The Magic are currently preparing to embark on a four-game road trip, which will begin Thursday night in Denver.
