Late injury worry for Orlando

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs had to be helped off the floor late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 111-102 win over the New York Knicks. He suffered an apparent right knee injury during the closing moments of the game.

Suggs was on a breakaway fast break when his right knee appeared to buckle on his layup attempt with 2:09 remaining in the contest. He stayed on the floor for several moments in pain before being helped to his feet.

Locker room exit and coach update

After the incident, Suggs walked gingerly to the Magic locker room with help from team personnel. Fans and teammates are now waiting for more news on his condition.

Magic coach Sean Sweeney did not have an update on Suggs after the game, beyond saying that he will be evaluated. Sweeney also mentioned that he talked briefly with Suggs after the game and that the player was in good spirits.

Past injury struggles

Suggs was selected as the fifth pick in the 2021 draft. Over his career, he has averaged 12.6 points, 3.8 assists and 3.4 rebounds.

Injuries are not new for the guard. He battled physical problems over the past two years, which limited him to a total of 92 games.
