During the Orlando Magic's game against the Toronto Raptors, Jalen Suggs was taken off the court in a wheelchair during the first half due to back spasms.
Orlando Magic's Jalen Suggs fell after making contact with an opponent while defending, and then he fell down holding his lower back. He fell for several minutes before being helped up and put in a wheelchair. Jalen Suggs covered his face with a towel as he was pushed off the court.
Shortly after the start of the third quarter, the Orlando Magic said that Jalen Suggs would not return. Jalen Suggs, the fifth overall pick in the 2021 draft, averaged 16.8 points, 4.2 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game for the injury-hit Orlando Magic. Before leaving, Jalen Suggs had six points in 13 minutes.
Now, the Orlando Magic are without forwards Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner, both recovering from torn right oblique muscles, who were among the six players the Magic missed on Friday.
