• Magic's Jalen Suggs: Career-high 28 points

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Suggs finished Friday's 120-109 loss to Cleveland with 28 points (10-20 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 7-8 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists, one block and three steals over 37 minutes. The No. 5 overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, Suggs has yet to really break out offensively. However, the defensive-minded guard is being asked to take on a larger role early in the 2024-25 campaign, as Franz Wagner has missed time due to an illness and Paolo Banchero (oblique) is now out for an extended period. Suggs has seized the opportunity thus far, scoring at least 20 points in three of the first six games and dishing out at least five assists in three straight. Suggs averaged 12.6 points and 2.7 assists per game last season.

  Suggs totaled 17 points (7-16 FG, 3-9 3Pt), six rebounds, five assists, two blocks and four steals over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 102-99 loss to Chicago. The fourth-year point guard made an impact at both ends of the court as he continues his hot start to the season. Suggs is averaging 16.8 points, 5.0 boards, 3.8 assists, 3.4 threes, 2.2 steals and 1.0 blocks through the first five games of the campaign, numbers which would represent career highs nearly across the board if he's able to maintain something even close to that pace.

  Suggs accumulated 25 points (8-17 FG, 6-13 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal across 35 minutes during Monday's 119-115 win over the Pacers. Suggs' 25 points and seven assists Monday were second on the Magic behind Paolo Banchero's career night (50 points and nine assists). After going 3-for-5 from three over the first two games of season, Suggs has gone 11-for-24 from deep over his last two outings and appears to have been given the green light from three-point range. Suggs and the 3-1 Magic will hit the road to take on the Bulls on Wednesday.

• Magic's Jalen Suggs: Solid two-way play in loss

  7D ago • By RotoWire

  Suggs amassed 21 points (6-17 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, four steals, three assists and one block across 31 minutes during Saturday's 124-111 loss to the Grizzlies. Suggs posted the second-highest scoring mark on the Magic behind Franz Wagner (23) while racking up a game-high four steals. Suggs was more involved in the offensive scheme compared to the first two regular-season games, likely due to Kentavious Caldwell-Pope shooting 1-for-6 from the field and Paolo Banchero shooting 4-for-12. Suggs is expected to continue receiving meaningful minutes in the starting five, and he has seen a gradual uptick in playing time since the regular-season opener.
