Jalen Suggs returns for No. 1 Gonzaga Bulldogs following injury scare

Jalen Suggs, the electrifying Gonzaga freshman and projected first-round NBA draft pick, suffered what appeared to be a serious-looking left ankle injury in the first half of the team's matchup against No. 11 West Virginia at the Jimmy V Classic in Indianapolis on Wednesday night but was able to return to the game in the second half.

Suggs was running toward the rim after making a pass to teammate Joel Ayayi when he appeared to slip and stumble awkwardly late in the first half. The five-star recruit was holding the back of his left ankle as coach Mark Few ran onto the court.
