The Magic announced Tuesday that Suggs (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign after undergoing successful surgery.
EDGE Analysis
Suggs underwent an arthroscopic surgery to remove a cartilage fragment in his left knee, which also involved a mosaicplasty to repair the trochlear joint surface. After missing 10 consecutive contests due to a back injury, Suggs returned Jan. 25 against the Pistons but played only 16 minutes before suffering what was initially described as a quadriceps contusion. In mid-February, Suggs was able to run again and appeared to be ramping up for game action, but he experienced discomfort in his left knee and was shut down after an MRI revealed that the point guard was dealing with a trochlea injury. The Suggs, Paolo Banchero, and Franz Wagner trio played just six games together this season.

Suggs will undergo arthroscopic surgery to remove a cartilage fragment in his left knee and is out indefinitely, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
After missing 10 straight games due to a back injury, Suggs returned to action against the Pistons on Jan. 25 but played only 16 minutes before suffering what was described as a quadriceps contusion at first. In mid-February, Suggs was able to run again and appeared to be ramping up for game action, but he didn't make any progress and was deemed out indefinitely after an MRI diagnosed the point guard with a trochlea injury in his left knee. Suggs doesn't have a return timetable, and it's unlikely he'll be able to play again this season, but he's expected to make a full recovery. The trio of Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner and Suggs have played just six games together this season.

Suggs will be out indefinitely with a trochlea injury in his left knee, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Suggs underwent further evaluation, including an MRI, to determine the extent of the injury, and the guard won't be available until further notice following the exams. Suggs has missed the last 14 games due to what had been previously described as a quadriceps contusion, but he's been limited to just three appearances since the beginning of January. With Suggs out, Cole Anthony should remain in the starting point guard role, while Gary Harris and Anthony Black should also see extra minutes.

Coach Jamahl Mosley said Wednesday that there's been no indication given that Suggs (quadriceps) will miss the rest of the season, Mason Williams of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Suggs has missed the last 13 games for the Magic with a left quadriceps contusion, which has led to speculation that he could miss the rest of the 2024-25 campaign. However, Mosley seems adamant that won't be the case, or at least that has yet to be determined. The defensive-minded guard has played in 35 games this season for Orlando, averaging career-high numbers in points (16.2), rebounds (4.0) and steals (1.5) per game.

Suggs (quadriceps) is listed as out for Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
Suggs will be sidelined for a 13th straight game and remains without a timetable for a return. He should be considered questionable at best for Thursday's game against Golden State.

Suggs (quadriceps) is out for Sunday's game against the Wizards, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Suggs will miss a 12th straight game with the injury, and there's no clarity on when he might return to the hardwood. The Magic will play against the Cavaliers on Tuesday, but it wouldn't be surprising if Suggs remains sidelined for a few more games at least.

Suggs (quadricep) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
Suggs will miss his 11th consecutive contest due to a left quad contusion. There is no clear timetable for the 23-year-old's return, though his next chance to play will come Sunday against Washington. Anthony Black and Cole Anthony should continue to receive an uptick in playing time with Suggs on the shelf.

Suggs (quadriceps) is out for Thursday's game against the Hawks, Mason Williams of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Suggs will be sidelined for his 10th straight game, and the guard has missed 20 of Orlando's last 21 contests. Suggs was limited to the non-contact portions of Wednesday's practice, so it sounds like he's iffy at best to return Friday against the Grizzlies.

Head coach Jamahl Mosley said Tuesday that Suggs (quadricep) was able to run during practice but has yet to resume contact drills, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Suggs missed the club's last nine outings leading up to the All-Star break due to a left quad contusion, and his limitations during practice bode poorly for his chances of returning for Thursday's game against Atlanta. The fourth-year pro has delivered a career-best year thus far, though availability has been a glaring issue of late, as he has missed 19 of the Magic's last 20 games. If Suggs remains on the shelf for Thursday, Cole Anthony and Anthony Black could see increased roles.

Suggs (quadriceps) is out for Wednesday's game against the Hornets, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is an expected update, considering Suggs was listed as doubtful for Wednesday. His next chance to suit up for the Magic will come Feb. 20 against the Hawks. With Suggs sidelined for a ninth straight game against Charlotte, Orlando should continue to ride a hot-hand approach with Cole Anthony in the starting lineup and Anthony Black from the bench.
