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>

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’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>

After being selected 11th overall by the Chicago Sky, the former TCU standout embraced her parents, received her new jersey from Commissioner Cathy Engelbert, and then found her way to someone just as important — <a href="https://thespun.com/wnba/hailey-van-liths-kiss-with-nba-player-boyfriend-after-being-drafted-going-viral" rel="noopener">boyfriend and Orlando Magic guard</a> Jalen Suggs, per TheSpun.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">NBA player, Jalen Suggs congratulated Hailey Van Lith for getting drafted with a celebratory kiss 😘</p><p>🎥 <a href="https://twitter.com/YahooSports?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@yahoosports</a> <a href="https://t.co/xKZqzS38sF">pic.twitter.com/xKZqzS38sF</a></p><p>— WNBA Got Game (@wnbagotgame) <a href="https://twitter.com/wnbagotgame/status/1912138878502293527?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 15, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://instagram.com/embed.js"></script></p></figure><p>The cameras didn’t catch everything live, but social media certainly did. A now-viral clip shared by Yahoo Sports showed Van Lith and Suggs sharing a warm hug and quick kiss off to the side of the draft room. Suggs, who’s been linked to Van Lith since 2021, was clearly proud, clapping before pulling her in for the tender moment. Fans immediately flooded the internet with reactions, calling it a “real love story” and “better than any rom-com.”</p><p>The moment also confirmed what many suspected for a while. The couple has kept things lowkey, but Van Lith did speak about their relationship ahead of the draft. More specifically, she addressed the hilarious moment that made rounds during March Madness — when her dad, Corey Van Lith, and Suggs were spotted celebrating together after TCU’s second-round win over Notre Dame.</p><p>She admitted she was “shaking her head” after seeing the clip go viral, but said, “I love it, it’s totally their personalities.” And while she sometimes gets those “embarrassed daughter vibes” from her dad, who was a two-sport athlete in college, she’s ultimately here for it all.</p><h2><b>Back on the court soon</b></h2><p>Suggs, who’s recovering from injury, will now have the chance to be a courtside supporter as Van Lith begins her WNBA journey. Despite only playing 35 games this past NBA season due to back and knee issues, he averaged a career-best 16.2 points per game for the Magic. Now, with his season over, he’s expected to be cheering Van Lith on when the Sky tip off their season against the Indiana Fever on May 17.</p><p>And she won’t be alone on the court either. The Sky reunited Van Lith with Angel Reese, her LSU teammate from the 2023-24 season, setting up an exciting backcourt-frontcourt duo for Chicago fans.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Starting guard Jalen Suggs underwent knee surgery that <a href="https://x.com/ShamsCharania/status/1896262352833790068" rel="noopener">will keep him out indefinitely</a>, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania.</p><p>“Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs will undergo arthroscopic surgery to remove a cartilage fragment in his left knee and is out indefinitely, sources tell ESPN,” Charania reported on X. “His return will be based on rehab and he is expected to make a full recovery.”</p><p>Suggs’ injury is the latest in a string of them for the Magic this season. He has been out since January 3 with the injury, save for one game on January 25 where he played just 16 minutes.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/magic-news-paolo-banchero-cleared-return-oblique-injury">Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner and Suggs have all missed a lot of time</a> this season and have only played six games together, making it very difficult for the team to find continuity and play their best basketball.</p><p>Suggs has quickly become one of the best perimeter guards in the league on the defensive end of the floor during his career. He is consistently able to shut down the opposing team’s best ball handler, which goes a long way towards giving the Magic one of the best defensive units in the league each year.</p><p>The Gonzaga product has taken a step forward on the offensive end of the floor as well this season despite playing in just 35 games. He is the team’s third-leading scorer at 16.2 points per game and is able to get to the rim effectively at times. While Suggs’ perimeter shot is still a work in progress (31.4% on 6.9 3-pointers per game), he is still crucial in helping Orlando stay organized on that end.</p><p>The Magic offense has been one of the worst in the NBA this season and that is a big reason why they are currently stuck in eighth place in the Eastern Conference at 29-32. Wagner and Banchero are both healthy at the moment, but this team still has an uphill battle in front of it without Suggs on the floor.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

In that game, he played five minutes, recording two assists and one rebound while posting a plus/minus of +11. Since then, he has spent most of the 2024-25 season with the Osceola Magic, Orlando’s G League affiliate.</p><h2><b>Mac McClung available after extended G League stint</b></h2><p>In 14 games with Osceola, McClung has averaged 17.4 points, 4.7 assists, and 3.7 rebounds per game while shooting 40.2% from the field. Following his return to the Magic roster, he spoke to Orlando Sentinel reporter Jason Beede about his mindset heading into Thursday’s contest.</p><p>“I love being up here.

The way he approaches the game, the way he approaches his work, the way he approaches everything… He’s just a true professional,” Mosley said. “I think it’s so important that what he’s done in the G League is just being able to facilitate, being able to playmake, being able to score when needed to, being able to get teammates involved. All of those things that he has been able to do down there, if he gets an opportunity it’ll be the same thing we’re asking of him up here.”</p><p>In addition to Suggs remaining out, the Magic have listed guard Cole Anthony as questionable with a hyperextended left knee. Anthony suffered the injury during Orlando’s 122-82 blowout loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday night in their second matchup since last year’s first-round playoff series. He finished that game with six points, five rebounds, and four assists in 21 minutes.</p><p>Anthony is averaging career-lows of 9.3 points, three rebounds, and 2.8 assists per game while shooting 42.3% from the field and 33.9% from three-point range in 18.1 minutes per contest across 55 games. However, over the last 20 games, he has increased his production, averaging 13.5 points, four rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 1.2 steals per game while shooting 45.9% from the field and 36.9% from deep.</p><h2><b>Magic face surging Warriors</b></h2><p>Orlando will have a tough challenge against a Warriors team that has found momentum since acquiring Jimmy Butler III from the Miami Heat at the trade deadline. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/golden-state-warriors/warriors-news-jimmy-butler-message-jonathan-kuminga-nears-return">Golden State is 6-1 since Butler’s arrival and is currently on a four-game winning streak</a>, including a 128-92 victory over the Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday night. That win contributed to Charlotte’s historic three-game stretch, in which they <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/golden-state-warriors/warriors-news-golden-state-delivers-brutal-131-point-history-to-hornets">lost by a combined 131 points — the worst such stretch in NBA history</a>.</p><p>With Jalen Suggs still sidelined and Cole Anthony’s status uncertain, Mac McClung could see an opportunity to contribute against a Warriors team that has been one of the hottest in the league over the past two weeks.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

However, ahead of the 7:30 p.m. ET tip-off on TNT, head coach Jamahl Mosley provided an update on <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/orlando-magic/magic-head-coach-jamahl-mosley-provides-jalen-suggs-injury-silver-lining">Jalen Suggs’ status, indicating that the guard’s return remains uncertain</a>.</p><p>Speaking with Orlando Sentinel reporter Jason Beede, Mosley <a href="https://x.com/therealbeede/status/1894431356538487252" rel="noopener">shared the latest development</a> in Suggs’ recovery process.</p><p>“Jalen was just able to do some running. Still no contact,” Mosley said.</p><p>With Suggs still unable to participate in contact drills, his return timeline remains unclear. Beede pressed Mosley on how the team determines when a player is ready to resume full-contact activities.</p><p>“Again, everybody is different in how they respond to treatments, how they respond to the work that they’ve done that day,” Mosley said. “And so you really have to go off of their body of work. How does he feel in those moments and what can he push through? Where’s the pain tolerance? In a lot of ways, you’ve got to have great lines of communication with our guys and see how they feel after responding to what has happened.”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en"><a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Magic?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Magic</a> coach Jamahl Mosley said Jalen Suggs — who was already ruled out Monday for tonight’s game vs. Cavs due to a left quad contusion — was only able to do some running but still no contact work at Tuesday’s shootaround.</p><p>I asked multiple questions about the rehab process: <a href="https://t.co/pGpY70DhLt">pic.twitter.com/pGpY70DhLt</a></p><p>— Jason Beede (@therealBeede) <a href="https://twitter.com/therealBeede/status/1894431356538487252?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 25, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://instagram.com/embed.js"></script></p></figure><p>When asked if Suggs had suffered a setback or if this was simply a slow-healing injury, Mosley clarified the situation.</p><p>“This is something that takes time,” he said.</p><h2><b>Jamahl Mosley updates Jalen Suggs’ injury status as Magic prepare for Cavaliers</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Jalen-Suggs-with-basketball-.jpg"><figcaption>David Richard-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>Suggs has officially been ruled out for Tuesday night’s game against the Cavaliers, marking his 13th consecutive absence and the 23rd game he has missed in the team’s last 24 contests. The 23-year-old guard continues to recover from a left quad contusion that has lingered far longer than initially expected.</p><p>Before the injury, Suggs was in the midst of a breakout season, averaging 16.2 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 1.5 steals per game while shooting 40.9% from the field across 35 games. Orlando has particularly felt his absence on the defensive end, as his energy and ability to disrupt opposing offenses played a key role in the team’s early-season success.</p><p>The Magic enter Tuesday’s game sitting seventh in the Eastern Conference as they continue to battle for a playoff spot. This will be their <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/orlando-magic/magic-news-jalen-suggs-sets-career-high-vows-to-bounce-back-after-loss-to-cavs">second meeting with the Cavaliers this season, having lost 120-109</a> in Cleveland back in November. Suggs delivered a near triple-double performance in that matchup, finishing with 28 points, eight rebounds, and seven assists.</p><p>Orlando will need strong performances from Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner, and the rest of the backcourt rotation to compensate for Suggs’ continued absence. As the team awaits further progress in his recovery, Mosley and the medical staff remain cautious in their approach, ensuring Suggs is fully healthy before returning to action.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Magic have been cautious with his recovery to ensure he returns fully healthy without lingering pain. Mosley reiterated that approach while discussing Suggs’ treatment process on Wednesday.</p><p>“Everybody responds to treatment, everybody responds to different injuries differently [and] everybody’s different,” Mosley told Beede. “And so, you want to treat it as such and not rush a process of getting him fully whole just to squeak back in to not be 100% on the court because he’s trying to push through certain things. It’s so important that we get him back fully healthy where there is no nagging pain as we go through it.”</p><p>Orlando has struggled in Suggs’ absence, slipping to seventh in the Eastern Conference after losing 14 of their last 20 games. The team’s defensive intensity has noticeably declined without Suggs, whose ability to pressure opposing guards and disrupt passing lanes has been a key factor in the Magic’s success this season.</p><h2><b>Magic feel Suggs’ defensive absence as they fight for consistency</b></h2><p>Kentavious Caldwell-Pope also spoke to Beede about the impact of Suggs’ absence, <a href="https://www.orlandosentinel.com/2025/02/19/orlando-magic-atlanta-hawks-jalen-suggs-injury-update-franz-wagner-paolo-banchero-state-farm-arena-nba-jamahl-mosley/" rel="noopener">particularly on the defensive end</a>.</p><p>“Defensive-wise, that’s where we’ve been missing him the most,” Caldwell-Pope said. “The way he guards and the energy that he brings, everybody feeds off that, even myself.”</p><p>Suggs has been a key contributor for the Magic this season, averaging 16.2 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 1.5 steals while shooting 40.9% from the field across 35 games. His ability to defend multiple positions and energize the team has been difficult to replace during his extended absence.</p><p>With Suggs still out, the Magic will continue searching for ways to compensate for his absence as they fight to stay in the playoff race. Orlando’s defensive struggles and lack of consistency in recent weeks have put <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/magic-news-paolo-banchero-franz-wagner-address-orlando-late-game-execution-in-hawks-loss">added pressure on Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner</a> to lead the team offensively.</p><p>The Magic will return home after the matchup against the Hawks, giving Suggs continued access to the team’s training facilities as he works toward a return. The organization has not provided an official timeline for his comeback but remains focused on ensuring he fully recovers before rejoining the rotation.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

However, they may be without starting guard Jalen Suggs, who is <a href="https://official.nba.com/nba-injury-report-2024-25-season/" rel="noopener">listed</a> as doubtful on the latest injury report due to a left quad contusion.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/magic-news-is-jalen-suggs-playing-vs-jazz-latest-injury-update">Suggs has not played since Orlando’s 121-113 victory over the Detroit Pistons</a> on January 25, where he recorded eight points, three assists, two rebounds, and a steal in 16 minutes. His absence has contributed to the Magic’s struggles, as they have now lost 14 of their last 20 games, slipping to the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference. With a 0.5-game lead over the Atlanta Hawks for the ninth spot, Orlando’s margin for error continues to shrink.</p><p><i><b>*Watch NBA games LIVE with fuboTV <a href="https://www.fubo.tv/lp/nba/?irad=356361&amp;irmp=492408" rel="noopener sponsored">(Get Access | Save $30)</a>*</b></i></p><h2><b>Jalen Suggs’ injury status for Magic vs. Spurs</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Jalen-Suggs-clapping.jpg"><figcaption>Jeremy Reper-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>If Suggs remains out, the Magic will continue to turn to Anthony Black and Cole Anthony for additional backcourt minutes. The team has battled injuries throughout the season and is searching for consistency after going 1-5 on their road trip.</p><p>Orlando’s return home comes at a pivotal time after a difficult stretch. The team’s early-season success has faded, and with the Eastern Conference playoff picture tightening, securing a win against San Antonio could help them regain momentum. Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner continue to lead the Magic, but they will need more contributions across the roster to stop their slide.</p><p>Suggs has been a key factor this season, averaging 16.2 points, four rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 1.5 steals per game across 35 contests. His defensive intensity has been critical for Orlando, making his potential absence against the Spurs another challenge.</p><h2><b>Spurs adjusting after De’Aaron Fox trade</b></h2><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/spurs-trade-grade-deaaron-fox-blockbuster">San Antonio recently acquired De’Aaron Fox in a major trade</a>, adding an All-Star guard to their young core. The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/spurs-news-deaaron-fox-reacts-near-late-game-winner-2-games">Spurs are coming off a 117-116 loss against the Charlotte Hornets</a> in which Fox led the team with 22 points, six assists, four steals, and two rebounds.</p><p>San Antonio has struggled overall, posting a 3-7 record in its last 10 games. Despite the addition of Fox, the team remains outside the Western Conference playoff picture and is still adjusting to its new lineup.</p><p>The Magic will look to capitalize on San Antonio’s transition period and secure a much-needed win at the Kia Center before heading into another challenging stretch of games.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
