All-Defensive guard Jalen Suggs could only watch from the bench when the Magic mounted a 17-point comeback against Denver on Saturday night inside Kia Center.
Described often as the heart and soul of Orlando‘s locker room, Suggs missed his sixth straight game because of a left hip bruise that’s sidelined him the past two weeks.
Prior to Orlando’s thrilling 1-point victory over three-time league MVP Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets, the Magic had gone 4-6 without Suggs on the court, missing both his physical style of defense and energy-providing offense.
