Magic welcome back Jalen Suggs, but problems still exist: ‘He’s just a fiery competitor’
Entering Saturday's game against Cleveland, the Magic were 14-9 with Jalen Suggs, right, on the court this season.

Suggs had missed the past eight games because of a right knee MCL bruise. He suffered that injury in just his second contest back from a seven-game absence due to a left hip bruise.
Orlando had gone 9-11 without Suggs on the floor this season and 14-9 with him entering Saturday’s game at Kia Center against the Cavaliers, who were playing on the second night of a back-to-back.
