Orlando Magic's Jalen Suggs Diagnosed with Knee Injury, Out Indefinitely

The 23-year-old guard's promising season is derailed after being diagnosed with a trochlea injury in his left knee, with a full recovery expected.

  • Jalen Suggs has been diagnosed with a trochlea injury in his left knee, discovered after experiencing discomfort during his return-to-play activities.
  • The injury follows a series of setbacks this season, including a low back strain and a left thigh contusion, limiting him to just 35 games so far.
  • Suggs has been averaging career highs of 16.2 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 1.46 steals per game during his fourth NBA season.
  • The Orlando Magic are currently developing a treatment plan for Suggs, with options including rest, physical therapy, medication, or surgery, and expect a full recovery.
  • The Magic, sitting seventh in the Eastern Conference standings, face the Toronto Raptors on Sunday as part of their ongoing homestand.
