Magic's Jalen Suggs: Unlikely to play Wednesday
Rotowire
Suggs (quadriceps) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Kings, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
It appears Suggs will miss a fifth straight game due to a left quadriceps bruise that he suffered in late January. The fourth-year guard has missed 14 of the Magic's last 15 games due to his current quad injury and a prior back issue, which has prevented Orlando from operating at full strength with Suggs, Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner.

Magic's Jalen Suggs: Ruled out for Sunday
Rotowire
Suggs (back) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the 76ers.
The Magic announced Thursday that a timeline on Suggs' return would depend on how he responds to treatment for a low back strain, so it's no surprise that he'll remain sidelined for the second leg of a back-to-back set. After Sunday's contest, the Magic are off until Wednesday in Milwaukee, so if Suggs is able to practice Tuesday, he could get the green light to play against the Bucks. Cole Anthony is likely to start at point guard in Suggs' stead Sunday and makes for a good streaming option for fantasy managers looking for help in the points, three-pointers and assists categories.
