Orlando Magic star guard Jalen Suggs is out for the season due to injury.

Suggs last played on Jan. 25 against the Detroit Pistons. He previously had back spasms that sidelined him on Jan. 3 against the Toronto Raptors, and his return didn’t last due to knee discomfort. On Feb. 28, the team announced that he had “a trochlea injury in his left knee.”
