Suggs (back) won't play Monday against the Knicks. After picking up a back strain against Toronto on Friday, Suggs will be forced to miss his second straight contest. Anthony Black (back) was available Sunday against the Jazz but did not see the floor, but that's expected to change Monday. Cole Anthony will likely have a big role in the short term with Suggs sidelined.

Won't play Monday
Suggs (back) won't play Monday against the Knicks. After picking up a back strain against Toronto on Friday, Suggs will be forced to miss his second straight contest. Anthony Black (back) was available Sunday against the Jazz but did not see the floor, but that's expected to change Monday. Cole Anthony will likely have a big role in the short term with Suggs sidelined.
Won't play Sunday
Suggs (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Jazz. Suggs suffered his injury against Toronto on Friday, and his back spasms will keep him out Sunday. With Anthony Black (back) also questionable, Cole Anthony and Cory Joseph could receive increased playing time. Suggs' next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with the Knicks.
Won't return Friday
Suggs (back) won't return to Friday's game against the Raptors, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network reports. Suggs took a nasty fall and was taken off the court in a wheelchair, so this update isn't surprising. The Magic have had very bad luck with injuries in recent weeks, and if Suggs is forced to miss time, then Cole Anthony and Cory Joseph should be in line to handle more minutes in the backcourt. It's uncertain if Suggs will recover in time to face the Jazz on Sunday.
Heads to locker room in wheelchair
Suggs exited Friday's game against the Raptors in a wheelchair due to an apparent back injury, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports. Suggs took a fall and immediately favored his back Friday, and he had trouble standing on his own before heading to the locker room in a wheelchair. In his absence, Cole Anthony and Cory Joseph should handle point guard duties for the Magic.
Scores 24 points in loss Wednesday
Suggs provided 24 points (9-20 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists, two blocks and three steals over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 105-96 loss to Detroit. Suggs has been forced to play a more prominent role on offense due to the absence of players such as Paolo Banchero (oblique), Franz Wagner (oblique) and Moritz Wagner (knee), but he's embraced the challenge. This was the third time he surpassed the 20-point mark over his last four appearances, and Suggs is averaging 18.8 points per game since the beginning of December. He's also having a career-best year as a scorer with 16.8 points per game in 2024-25, up from the 12.6 points per contest he averaged in 2023-24.
Cleared to play Wednesday
Suggs (wrist) is available for Wednesday's game against the Pistons. As expected, Suggs has been upgraded from probable to available and will suit up Wednesday after leaving Sunday's win over the Nets in the second quarter due to a right wrist sprain. In December, Suggs averaged 18.4 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.7 assists and 0.8 blocks in 29.5 minutes per game across 12 appearances.
Expected to play Wednesday
Suggs (wrist) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Pistons. Suggs was forced out of Sunday's win over the Nets in the second quarter due to a right wrist sprain, but he practiced Tuesday and is expected to play Wednesday. In December, Suggs averaged 18.4 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.7 assists and 0.8 blocks in 29.5 minutes per game across 12 appearances.
Goes through practice
Suggs (wrist) participated in Tuesday's practice, Dan Savage of the Magic's official site reports. Anthony Black (back), on the other hand, was held out of practice. Suggs sustained a right wrist sprain during the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Nets and wasn't able to return, but it sounds like he escaped with a mild injury. There will be more clarity on his status for Wednesday's game against Detroit when the Magic release their injury report Tuesday evening.
Exits early with wrist sprain
The Magic announced that Suggs sustained a right wrist sprain during the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Nets and will not return. He'll finish the game with eight points (2-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 13 minutes. Suggs will likely undergo further testing ahead of Wednesday's game against Detroit. With the 23-year-old sidelined for the rest of Sunday's contest, Cory Joseph, Cole Anthony and Trevelin Queen will likely cover most of the leftover minutes out of the backcourt.
