Report: MRI Shows Grade 1 MCL Contusion for Magic Guard Jalen Suggs After Bulls Collision

The team will reevaluate him in Orlando with no timetable set.

Overview

  • Suggs left Friday’s loss in Chicago in the third quarter after a layup attempt when Bulls forward Jalen Smith crashed onto him, and he did not return.
  • The Magic initially termed the issue a right knee strain, and head coach Jamahl Mosley said he will be reevaluated once the team returns home.
  • An MRI reportedly revealed a Grade 1 MCL contusion in his right knee, and the team says his return depends on how he responds to treatment.
  • Before exiting, Suggs posted 11 points, four assists, three rebounds and one steal on 4-for-6 shooting in 20 minutes.
  • This comes after earlier absences for left knee surgery recovery and a left hip contusion, and his on/off impact has been significant this season with a +10.1 net rating as Orlando prepares to host Indiana on Sunday.
