Suggs (knee) won't play in Friday's preseason game against the 76ers, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
No surprise here, as Suggs has yet to be cleared for full contact. The guard went through a non-contact workout Wednesday, but it remains to be seen if he'll be able to participate in any preseason action.

Magic's Jalen Suggs: Continues non-contact work
Rotowire
Suggs (knee) still hasn't been cleared for contact, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Suggs went through a non-contact workout Wednesday, but that doesn't indicate he's taken a significant step forward in his recovery from the left knee surgery he had in March. The Magic are hopeful that the 2021 first-rounder will be ready to roll for Opening Night, though his status very much remains up in the air. It's possible Suggs won't see any preseason action this fall, and Tyus Jones would likely fill the void at point guard if Suggs can't go for the start of the regular season.

Rotowire
Suggs (knee) will not play in Saturday's preseason game against Miami, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
No surprise here, as Suggs has said he's targeting a return on Opening Night on Oct. 22. At this point, it would be a surprise to see him suit up at all in the preseason, as he's been limited to non-contact work at practice.

Rotowire
Suggs (knee) participated in non-contact drills during Tuesday's practice, Cody Taylor of USA Today reports.
Suggs is recovering from surgery on his left knee that he underwent on March 4. He's currently targeting the team's regular-season opener on Oct. 22 against the Heat to get back on the floor. He appears to be making progress toward accomplishing that goal. The Gonzaga product appeared in 35 regular-season games during the 2024-25 campaign, averaging 16.2 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.5 steals per game, while shooting 41 percent from the field and 31.4 percent from three-point range.

Rotowire
Magic president of basketball operations Jeff Weltman said Monday that Suggs (knee) is aiming to return for the start of the regular season, Philip Rossman-Reich of OrlandoMagicDaily.com reports.
Suggs underwent season-ending surgery on his left knee in March and has been rehabbing with the goal of returning healthy for the 2025-26 season. Weltman said the guard's participation in training camp will be monitored closely by the medical staff, with hopes he can see some preseason action, but the priority is to have him ready for the start of the regular season. Suggs played 35 regular-season games last year, averaging 16.2 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.5 steals while shooting 41 percent from the field and 31.4 percent from three.

Rotowire
Suggs (knee) might not be ready to return to the floor at the beginning of training camp, Brett James of Orlando Magic Daily reports.
Suggs played in only 35 regular-season games last season, as he was officially ruled out for the rest of the 2024-25 campaign March 4. It appears he still isn't ready to return, as he alluded to during Media Day. "Camp and the return will come in time, in [God's] time, but our process is really working and I love the spot that we're in right now," Suggs said. Over the course of those 35 games, the defensive-minded guard averaged 16.2 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.5 steals per game, shooting 41 percent from the floor and 31.4 percent from beyond the arc.
