According to the Orlando Magic, Jalen Suggs has been diagnosed with trochlea injury in his left knee.

In him trying to return to the court, Suggs was experiencing discomfort in his knee, which prompted the organization to order extra imaging for their promising combo guard.

The further evaluation has confirmed the 23-year-old to be out indefinitely, as a treatment plan has been made with the intentions of him making a full recovery.

Suggs is averaging 16.2 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 3.7 assists this season.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, Paolo Banchero is making his much-anticipated return from his torn oblique injury.

Thursday’s game is against the Minnesota Timberwolves, and Friday’s is against the Milwaukee Bucks. The Orlando Magic have been without their young cornerstone player for 33 games.

Banchero has not played since October 30th. The 22-year-old averaged 29.0 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 5.6 assists in his five games.

The Magic are fourth in the Eastern Conference. Orlando is 22-16.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Orlando Magic and Jalen Suggs have come together for a three-year contract. The deal is worth $150.5 million.

There is no player or team option included in this deal, as Suggs is the fifth player to get an extension coming out of the 2021 draft.

The 23-year-old has been vocal about staying in Orlando and not changing teams. Orlando’s Media Day was the most recent time Suggs was vocal about his contract situation.

Last season was his best and most consistent season. Suggs averaged 12.6 points (career-high), 3.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 1.4 steals in 75 games.

In previous seasons, he was plagued by injury. However, as demonstrated last season, Suggs is a valuable asset to Orlando when not riddled with injuries.
