Suggs supplied 20 points (6-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists and four steals across 38 minutes in Tuesday's 115-111 win over the Suns.
Suggs turned in a well-rounded performance Tuesday and was Orlando's second-leading scorer, reaching the 20-point mark for the first time since March 12. He also finished third on the team in rebounds and second in assists. Additionally, the 24-year-old point guard made an impact on the defensive end, finishing one swipe shy of tying his season high. Suggs has been inconsistent on the offensive end of late, scoring in double figures in four of his last seven games while reaching the 15-point threshold just once.

Magic's Jalen Suggs: Limited scoring output in return
Rotowire
Suggs amassed eight points (3-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists and one block in 34 minutes during Thursday's 121-117 win over the Kings.
Suggs returned to the hardwood after a two-game absence, and while he had a decent stat line, he failed to provide much value as a scoring weapon. This was his sixth consecutive game in which he couldn't reach the 15-point mark, and at this point, it's fair to consider Suggs only a secondary option on offense, well behind the one-two combo of Paolo Banchero and Desmond Bane in terms of usage rate and shooting volume.

Magic's Jalen Suggs: Ruled out for Tuesday
Rotowire
Suggs (illness) won't play Tuesday against the Cavaliers, Philip Rossman-Reich of OrlandoMagicDaily.com reports.
Suggs sat out of Monday's matchup after waking up under the weather, and the team has now moved forward with downgrading him to out for the second half of Orlando's back-to-back. Jevon Carter drew the start at point guard Monday and should be in position to do so again in Cleveland.

This was Suggs' fifth straight game with at least two steals, and he's been flirting with third-round value during that stretch with averages of 14.6 points, 5.2 assists, 2.2 triples and 2.2 steals per game.

Magic's Jalen Suggs: Comes close to double-double
Rotowire
Suggs had 10 points (5-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds, nine assists, two blocks and two steals over 26 minutes during Tuesday's 126-109 win over the Wizards.
Suggs finished just one assist away from a double-double, but there are some encouraging signs with the veteran floor general, even if he's not putting up the kind of scoring numbers he's used to. He has recorded 25-plus minutes in back-to-back starts, and that's huge since he hadn't done that since early February. Once Suggs shakes off the rust from his shot, he should see an uptick in his scoring numbers as well. Since returning to the hardwood three games ago, Suggs has made just four of his 16 three-pointers while shooting 31.3 percent from the floor.

After logging just 13 minutes off the bench in Thursday's loss to Houston, Suggs returned to his typical spot in the starting lineup and doubled up on his playing time.

Magic's Jalen Suggs: Non-factor in return
Rotowire
Suggs (back) posted three points (1-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two steals, one rebound and one block over 13 minutes during Orlando's 113-108 loss to Houston on Thursday.
Suggs came off the bench Thursday in his return from a three-game absence due to a back strain. The fifth-year guard struggled to get anything going and led the team with four turnovers while finishing with no assists and a minus-11 point differential. Suggs seemed to be out of rhythm, which led to him playing just three minutes in the second half while sitting on the bench for the entire fourth quarter. He should see his playing time increase in Sunday's game against the Pistons, though it's uncertain if Suggs will take back his spot in the starting five from Tristan da Silva.
