| Thu Mar 26 | 17:53 | Jalen Suggs Available on Thursday |
Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (illness) is available to suit up for Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Suggs missed the last two games due to illness but is good to go for tonight's matchup. The 24-year-old has averaged 14.9 points, 4.8 assists, 3.8 rebounds, and 1.6 steals in 30.1 minutes per contest across his last eight outings. Jevon Carter and Jamal Cain's roles will decrease now that Suggs is back in the lineup, after the two shared starting duties during his absence. |

| Thu Mar 26 | 08:35 | Jalen Suggs Could Miss Third Consecutive Game |
Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (illness) is in danger of missing a third consecutive game, as the team has listed him as questionable for Thursday's tilt against the Sacramento Kings. The versatile guard has been feeling under the weather and missed a back-to-back set against Indiana and Cleveland at the start of the week. Jevon Carter and Jamal Cain have shared starts during Suggs' absence. After Carter's two-point dud on Monday night against Indiana, Cain got the nod on Tuesday and delivered a strong performance against Cleveland with 17 points, six rebounds, and three assists. Carter was productive off the bench, so it seems likely that Magic head coach Jamahl Mosley won't tinker with his lineup if Suggs remains out against Sacramento. |

| Tue Mar 24 | 08:53 | Jalen Suggs to Miss Second Consecutive Game |
Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (illness) will remain sidelined on Tuesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Due to illness, Suggs was unable to play on Monday night versus Indiana, and the team has also quickly ruled him out for the second game of a back-to-back. Jevon Carter filled in for Suggs in the starting lineup against Indiana but was a massive disappointment. After scoring at least 10 points in four consecutive games, Carter managed just two points. To make things worse, he didn't register a single assist in 24 minutes. On Tuesday, Carter faces a much tougher matchup, making him a risky choice for fantasy managers. |

| Thu Feb 26 | 17:40 | Jalen Suggs Returning on Thursday Night |
Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (back) will return from his three-game absence on Thursday versus Houston. Tristan da Silva had been starting while Suggs was on the shelf, most recently amassing 13 points, six rebounds, and two steals in Tuesday's 110-109 win over the Los Angeles Lakers. Although it's realistic to assume Suggs might see less work than usual in his first game back, his presence should eliminate nearly all of da Silva's streaming appeal. The same can be said for Jett Howard and Jevon Carter, who were sporadically productive while Suggs was out of commission. |

| Thu Feb 26 | 07:01 | Jalen Suggs Could Be Out for Fourth Straight Game |
Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (back) remains on the injury report ahead of Thursday's matchup with the Houston Rockets. He is listed as questionable with a back strain. Suggs has already missed three games because of the injury, allowing Tristan da Silva to reclaim a starting berth. After a midseason slump, da Silva has performed well recently. He has averaged 10.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.0 steals, and 1.0 blocks over the past three games. On Thursday, da Silva may continue to contribute in Suggs' absence, but scoring could be challenging against the league's fourth-best defense. |

| Tue Feb 24 | 07:30 | Jalen Suggs Could Miss Third Straight Game |
Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (back) is questionable for a meeting with the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night. He's dealing with a back strain and could be sidelined for a third consecutive contest. Unfortunately, injuries have left a large dent in Suggs' season, but his health issues have also provided an opportunity for others to step up. Anthony Black is having a breakout campaign, while Tristan da Silva has recently filled in for Suggs in the starting lineup. As a starter, da Silva has contributed 10.5 points and 3.9 rebounds per game this season. |

| Sun Feb 22 | 19:58 | Jalen Suggs Misses Second Straight Game |
Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (back) is out for Sunday's game against the Clippers, marking his second straight absence due to back spasms. With Suggs sidelined, Desmond Bane should continue to anchor the offense after erupting for 34 points with five three-pointers, four rebounds, three assists, two steals, and one block in 40 minutes last game. Anthony Black logged 45 minutes, while Jevon Carter and Tristan da Silva each topped 30 minutes. Bane remains a must-start, Black profiles as a strong hold, and Carter is a viable short-term streamer. |

| Sat Feb 21 | 16:33 | Jalen Suggs Won't Suit Up on Saturday |
Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (back) won't play on Saturday against Phoenix. The 24-year-old has been sidelined multiple times this season. However, since returning from an eight-game absence due to a knee injury, he's appeared in Orlando's previous 11 contests. Only time will tell if the back spasms will keep Suggs out beyond Saturday's contest, including for Sunday's meeting versus the Clippers. In the meantime, Jevon Carter, most recently amassing 14 points, four assists, and three rebounds in Thursday's blowout win over the Sacramento Kings, might enter the starting lineup, with Jett Howard in line for more minutes from off the bench. |

| Fri Feb 6 | 08:33 | Jalen Suggs Records First Career Triple-Double vs. Nets |
Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs stuffed the box score in Thursday's 118-98 win over Brooklyn, finishing with 15 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 assists in 29 minutes while adding three steals and a career-best four blocks. The do-it-all line underscores Suggs' fantasy profile as a high-impact guard who contributes across categories, averaging 14.3 points, 5.2 assists, 4.0 rebounds, 1.9 three-pointers, 1.8 steals, and 0.6 blocks. His physical style carries an injury risk, but the upside is clear. Paolo Banchero, Desmond Bane, and Franz Wagner (ankle) hold steady as usage leaders, with Anthony Black soaking up enough touches to cap fringe guard upside. |

| Sat Jan 24 | 17:22 | Jalen Suggs Available on Saturday Night |
Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (knee) will play on Saturday against Cleveland. His return will mark the end of an eight-game absence caused by a right MCL contusion. The 2021 No. 5 overall pick is expected to reclaim his spot in the starting lineup, although he'll likely be limited for at least a few contests. With Franz Wagner (ankle) ruled out, Anthony Black will presumably remain with the first-five, with the 22-year-old averaging 18.1 points, 4.8 assists, 4.0 rebounds, and 38.6% shooting from behind the arc in 23 starts throughout the campaign. |

| Sat Jan 24 | 11:14 | Jalen Suggs Expected Back Saturday vs. Cavaliers |
Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (knee) is probable to return Saturday against Cleveland after missing eight games with a right knee MCL contusion. A minutes cap or bench role remains possible, but his presence reshapes Orlando's backcourt. Suggs averaged 17.0 points, 4.4 assists, 2.8 rebounds, and 1.6 steals in 27.5 minutes over his last five appearances. Anthony Black has thrived during Suggs' absence, though his role bears monitoring as the rotation tightens. Suggs remains a hold with upside if his workload ramps quickly. |

| Thu Jan 22 | 15:08 | Jalen Suggs Ruled Out Thursday |
Orlando Magic point guard Jalen Suggs (knee) was downgraded from questionable to out on Thursday ahead of his team's home game against the Hornets. Suggs will miss his eighth straight game due to right knee MCL contusion, although he seems to be nearing a return. Head coach Jamahl Mosley said that Suggs responded well after a full practice on Wednesday, so he could be back in action soon. His next chance to return will be Saturday against the Cavaliers, and until then, Anthony Black will continue to take on more work with Tyus Jones and Jase Richardson playing more minutes as well. |

| Wed Jan 21 | 19:42 | Jalen Suggs Questionable Versus Charlotte |
Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against Charlotte. He's missed seven contests because of his latest ailment, a right knee contusion. However, even if the 24-year-old isn't back for this one, the questionable designation at least suggests he's trending in a positive direction. If Suggs suits up, he'll probably see limited action. That may last for at least a few games. As a result, Anthony Black should remain even more relevant for fantasy managers while Suggs works his way back to form. |

| Sat Jan 17 | 20:08 | Jalen Suggs Out on Sunday Against Grizzlies |
Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (knee) will miss a seventh consecutive game on Sunday against the Memphis Grizzlies. With the Magic currently in Europe, Suggs will have some additional time to recover next week, but it's unclear when he will be ready to return. With Suggs on the shelf, Anthony Black, Tyus Jones, and Jase Richardson carry extra fantasy value. Black has been the best of the bunch, scoring 20-plus points in three consecutive games. |

| Wed Jan 14 | 21:26 | Jalen Suggs to Miss Sixth Straight Game Thursday |
Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (knee) won't be in action in Berlin, Germany, against the Memphis Grizzlies on Thursday. He continues to recover from a right MCL contusion, missing his sixth straight game. Anthony Black will continue to carry additional fantasy value on Thursday, though his role on offense could change with the imminent return of Franz Wagner (ankle). Still, with back-to-back 20-point games under his belt, Black has plenty of fantasy appeal. |

| Fri Jan 9 | 08:13 | Jalen Suggs to Miss Fourth Straight Game Friday |
Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (knee) will not play Friday against Philadelphia, sidelined for a fourth consecutive game with an MCL contusion. Orlando ruled him out a day in advance, and his next possible return is Sunday against New Orleans. Anthony Black continues to start and showed strong early production in Suggs' absence, but has cooled lately, averaging 5.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 5.0 assists over his last two games with shaky efficiency. Noah Penda has quietly emerged as a deep-league watch after posting 13 points and 11 rebounds in 31 minutes on Tuesday. Tyus Jones remains a low-ceiling assists streamer in deeper formats. |

| Wed Jan 7 | 05:41 | Jalen Suggs Remains Out Wednesday |
Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup against the Brooklyn Nets. On Tuesday, Magic head coach Jamahl Mosley said Suggs has not been cleared for on-court activities, so this probably won't be his last absence. With Suggs sidelined, Tristan da Silva made a second consecutive start in Tuesday's loss to the Washington Wizards, scoring 13 points and snagging two steals. Tyus Jones and Jase Richardson also had increased roles, with the latter scoring a team-high 20 points. The Magic struggled in the first half, leading to bench players like Jones and Richardson seeing a lot of action. |

| Tue Jan 6 | 17:12 | Jalen Suggs Sidelined Again Tuesday |
Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (knee) has been ruled out of the team's Tuesday night matchup with the Washington Wizards. Suggs suffered an MCL contusion on Friday night, in just his second game back from a seven-game absence brought on by a hip injury. He was previously listed as doubtful, meaning he could return sooner rather than later. Tristan da Silva has moved into the Suggs' spot in the starting lineup, but guard Anthony Black has seen the biggest boost in production. The 21-year-old has scored at least 19 points in every game Suggs has missed since mid-December. |

| Tue Jan 6 | 08:26 | Jalen Suggs Considered Doubtful Tuesday |
Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (knee) is listed as doubtful for Tuesday's meeting with the Washington Wizards. Last week, Suggs suffered a MCL contusion in his right knee, landing back on the shelf just two games after returning from a hip injury. The doubtful tag indicates that Suggs is expected to miss a second consecutive game. With Suggs out, Tristan da Silva returned to the starting lineup in Sunday's win over the Indiana Pacers, but his fantasy production has been lacking all season. Anthony Black, who finished with 27 points, 10 assists, and four blocks against Indiana, is the player to target during Suggs' absence. |

| Sun Jan 4 | 14:08 | Jalen Suggs Ruled Out for Sunday, No Timetable for Return |
Orlando Magic point guard Jalen Suggs (right knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Suggs suffered a Grade-1 MCL contusion in Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls, which has head coach Jamahl Mosley concerned. "Your heart goes out to him. He's such a resilient young man, and he's going to bounce back regardless of the scenario." Suggs has averaged 15.0 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 4.7 assists in his fifth season with the Magic. With Suggs out indefinitely, expect Tyus Jones to start at point guard, while third-year shooting guard Anthony Black should see a boost in production as well. With the negative update from their head coach and no clear timetable for Suggs' return, expect him to be out for the next few games. |
