Jalen Suggs Cleared to Play Against Pacers After Hip Contusion
Orlando, FL – December 31st, 2024 – Magic guard Jalen Suggs has been officially upgraded to available for today’s game against the Indiana Pacers, ending a seven-game absence due to a hip contusion. The announcement comes just hours before tip-off, much to the relief of Magic fans and fantasy basketball players alike.
While Suggs’ return bolsters the Magic’s backcourt, fantasy managers should temper expectations. It is widely anticipated that Suggs will be under a minutes restriction as he works his way back to full game fitness.
The return of Suggs also signals a likely reduction in playing time for Tyus Jones and Jase Richardson, who saw increased roles during Suggs’s absence.
This is a developing story. Stay tuned to Magic Correspondent for further updates.
