The guard went down with a non-contact knee injury during Orlando's win over the New York Knicks on Sunday night, and the sight of his knee buckling on a layup attempt had fans bracing for the worst.\n\nIt wasn't. The team confirmed there was no other structural damage, and Suggs will simply be re-evaluated in two weeks. That's hardly a quick turnaround, but it's a far better outcome than the season-ending scenario many feared when he first went down.\n\nThe timing stings regardless. Suggs' injury came the same weekend Orlando learned star forward Paolo Banchero would also be sidelined with an ankle injury, leaving the Magic thin at the top of their rotation. For a team that has already made a habit of absorbing bad injury news, it's another test of depth early in the season. Orlando will need secondary scorers to step up while both players recover, with no firm timetable yet for Banchero's return.","published_at":"2026-10-26T21:35:31.457639+00:00","source_count":4,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Magic's Jalen Suggs diagnosed with bone bruise in right knee, will be re-evaluated in 2 weeks","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/nba/breaking-news/article/magics-jalen-suggs-diagnosed-with-bone-bruise-in-right-knee-will-be-re-evaluated-in-2-weeks-184734151.html"},{"outlet":"The Athletic","publisher":"The Athletic","title":"Jalen Suggs to miss at least 2 weeks with knee bruise.
