Jalen Suggs Doubtful for Friday's Game, Expected to Miss Fifth Straight

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (hip) has been downgraded to doubtful for Friday's game against the Hornets, trending toward missing his fifth consecutive game due to a left hip contusion. Tyus Jones is expected to remain in the Magic's starting lineup for as long as Suggs is sidelined. With Friday being the first leg of Orlando's back-to-back set, his next opportunity to play would be Saturday against Denver.
