While in recovery, he is still getting noticed, but in the most unexpected of ways. </p><p>On Monday, Suggs appeared on ESPN’s NBA Today <a href="https://x.com/TheDunkCentral/status/1934693636819607953" rel="noopener">to discuss</a> his cousin Tyrese Haliburton’s performance in the NBA Finals, per NBA Central. But the fans online weren’t so much paying attention to the words as much as his hair, or lack thereof. </p><p>Suggs appeared bald, <a href="https://x.com/Ar15Mvp/status/1934712171411181650" rel="noopener">much to the delight</a> of one fan.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Jalen Suggs and Tyrese Haliburton are cousins 😯</p><p>(h/t <a href="https://twitter.com/ohnohedidnt24?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@ohnohedidnt24</a> ) <a href="https://t.co/lQghLeKtmB">pic.twitter.com/lQghLeKtmB</a></p><p>— NBACentral (@TheDunkCentral) <a href="https://twitter.com/TheDunkCentral/status/1934693636819607953?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 16, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>“He would look better bald icl” @Ar15Mvp posted on X.  Then, a fan suggested that Suggs<a href="https://x.com/CryptidPolitics/status/1934708446038753658" rel="noopener"> undergo a special procedure</a> to fix his hair.</p><p>“Suggs needs to get a hair transplant ASAP.” @CryptidPolitics said on X.  Someone else <a href="https://x.com/30BeenDat/status/1934693952659312928" rel="noopener">seemed shaken up</a> by Suggs’ appearance. “He gotta let dat hair go,”@30BeenDat tweeted on X.</p><p>Hilariously, another fan <a href="https://x.com/king1sed/status/1934703656055591200" rel="noopener">evoked the words</a> of the critically acclaimed Elsa from Frozen. </p><p>“Jalen Suggs needs to Let it go Let it go,” followed by a meme of Elsa. Finally, one more fan <a href="https://x.com/bufNYY161st/status/1934704629167870304" rel="noopener">issued a meme</a> of a torn-up Gucci backpack to Suggs.</p><p>“Just let it go bruh…it’s over“@bufNYY161st posted on X. </p><p>Before his injury, Suggs averaged 16.2 points and shot 41% from the field. The Magic finished the season with a 41-41 record, resulting in being the 7th seed in the Eastern Conference. </p><p>Even though he was out, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/orlando-magic/magic-news-jalen-suggs-charging-up-for-playoffs-despite-injury-setback" rel="noopener">Suggs was “charged up” for the playoffs</a>. Ultimately, the Magic were eliminated by the Cleveland Cavaliers. </p><p>However, things are looking up for Suggs.  </p><h2><b>Jalen Suggs’ future with the Magic </b></h2><p>Last October, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/orlando-magic/magic-news-jalen-suggs-agrees-to-5-year-150-5-million-extension-with-orlando" rel="noopener">Suggs signed a 5-year $150.5 million contract extension</a> with the Magic. This is part of a larger pattern of the Magic securing the talents of young talent. </p><p>Suggs is part of a young core that includes Wendell Carter Jr., Franz Wagner, and Jonathan Issac. Suggs has developed a reputation for being a constant playmaker and an effective defensive player. </p><p>He has found ways to get his teammates involved, resulting in high assist totals. In addition, Suggs has become a solid mid-range shooter and is improving from the three-point line. </p><p>Furthermore, he is a quick and high-IQ defender, forcing turnovers and playing high-pressure ball defense. </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

His mentality is elite, and not only that, I mean you can see his shooting ability, he’s been top in the league the past couple years. His ability to play off the catch.”</p><p>“Another versatile ball handler that gives us down the line, you know we can play one through four, even five,” Suggs said. “You know, everybody kind of with the ball in their hands making plays and uh being active and aggressive off closeouts. I think bringing him in not only with his physical attributes but his mindset will be a huge boost for all of us.”</p><h2><b>Jalen Suggs on when he heard about the Magic trade for Desmond Bane</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Desmond-Bane-has-his-game-face-on.jpg"><figcaption>Petre Thomas-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>With <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/orlando-magic/magic-news-desmond-banes-two-emoji-reaction-shocking-orlando-trade">Bane ready to get to work with the Magic</a>, there’s no doubt that the team will have high expectations going into the upcoming season in the fall of 2025.

Nothing is guaranteed to come to fruition, but Cavs insider Chris Fedor <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wh9aOM7N6wo&amp;t=845s" rel="noopener">recently suggested</a> an intriguing trade idea involving Garland and Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs, via Cleveland Cavaliers on cleveland.com’s YouTube channel.</p><p>“I think there’s a framework, and I say framework because salary stuff becomes very, very difficult for the Cavs,” Fedor said. “So, you’re just talking about a general framework with an understanding that other pieces are probably going to have to be involved. Maybe a third team is going to have to be involved. Matching salary becomes very, very difficult when you’re talking about the Cavs and the salary situation that they’re in. But I think there’s a framework of a deal between the Cavs and the Magic that would involve Darius Garland and Jalen Suggs.”</p><p>The Cavs enjoyed a tremendous 2024-25 regular season before getting eliminated in the postseason. Cleveland had serious championship hopes but failed to make a deep playoff run.</p><p>As a result, the idea of making a significant trade or two has gained traction as rumors begin to swirl. The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/editorials/4-early-cleveland-cavaliers-nba-free-agency-targets-in-2025-offseason">Cavs’ official offseason plan</a> has yet to be revealed, but Garland could be traded if Cleveland finds a tempting enough offer.</p><p>There is a chance that Cleveland will decide to keep the core of Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley together. After all, the core led the Cavs to no shortage of success during the regular season. The question is whether or not the team believes those players can lead them to a championship.</p><p>If the Cavs feel any uncertainty, a trade or two could end up being made. As for the Magic, acquiring a guard such as Garland would give them a new big three as Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner lead the way.</p><p>The specific details of a potential trade would make the deal challenging to make official. However, the idea of a Garland-Suggs trade could prove to be enticing for both teams.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

I ain’t gonna lie to you,” Suggs said. “I ain’t changing nothing, that’s what all this work is for.”</p><p>Suggs, 23, appeared in just 35 games this past season after <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/orlando-magic/magic-news-orlando-makes-season-ending-jalen-suggs-announcement">undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his left knee</a> to remove a cartilage fragment.

I’m at the point now where I feel so good and comfortable and confident… I wanna like speed up,” Suggs said. “But I’m kind of staying disciplined through that, continuing to move at the speed that my knee is talking to me.”</p><p>With Suggs on track for a return next season, the Magic will look to build on their playoff appearance and take another step forward in the Eastern Conference.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
