Magic’s Suggs avoids serious injury after collision

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs has suffered a left knee capsule sprain and bone bruise, the team announced.

There’s relief that Suggs avoided a more serious injury, sources told ESPN. His timeline on a return will depend on response to treatment, the team said.

Suggs was helped off the court and into the locker room after a collision with Dallas’ Dorian Finney-Smith in a preseason loss on Friday night before undergoing evaluation.
