and Orlando Magic fans held their collective breaths as they watched third-year pro Jalen Suggs wince in pain after he appeared to hyperextend his left knee while guarding Donovan Mitchell during Game 2 of the Magic vs. Cavaliers first-round NBA Playoffs series on Monday.
But as Bulldogs fans had seen before from Suggs, he shook off the pain and returned to action in the third quarter. He finished with nine points, six rebounds and five assists in 29 minutes, committing one turnover and shooting 2-of-5 from the field. Orlando fell 96-86 and now trails the best-of-seven series 2-0, though it can expect Suggs to be a full-go for Game 3 on Thursday.
The 22-year-old has taken strides on both ends of the floor this season, averaging 12.6 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.7 assists while shooting 39.7% from 3-point range. His 1.4 steals per game was ninth-most in the NBA. In just his third year as a pro, Suggs has widely been regarded as one of the best defenders in the association by his peers.
