Jalen Suggs remains out Thursday, but his injury upgrade signals a return soon as the Orlando Magic eye a late-January boost.

Suggs spoke Tuesday in a video snippet shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, by Orlando Sentinel reporter Jason Beede, offering reassurance following medical evaluation earlier in the week. “I’m doing good,” a more reserved Jalen Suggs said.

Just over 48 hours after making his return versus the Indiana Pacers, Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs is dealing with another lower-body injury. Suggs left the game in the third quarter with what the team described as a right knee strain and did not return. The injury came after Bulls big Jalen Smith incidentally landed on Suggs while attempting to reject a layup attempt.
