Suggs Diagnosed with Hip Contusion, Expected to Miss Weeks

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs has been diagnosed with a left hip contusion, confirmed by MRI, after exiting Saturday's NBA Cup semifinals loss to the Knicks. Suggs, who scored 25 first-half points, had been battling hip discomfort for several games. His return timetable is murky, depending on treatment response, and he is considered doubtful for Thursday's game against Denver. He is expected to miss an extended period, potentially weeks, with teammates Anthony Black and Tyus Jones possibly seeing increased responsibility in his absence.
