Jalen Suggs is set to miss the remainder of the 2024-25 NBA season following left knee surgery that involved removing a cartilage fragment and repairing the trochlear joint surface. The Orlando Magic expect a full recovery, but the timing poses challenges as the team has already faced injuries to key players like Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner. Suggs had made substantial contributions this season, averaging 16.2 points, 4.0 rebounds, and securing a spot on the NBA All-Defensive Second Team last year. His absence will complicate the Magic's playoff aspirations, especially considering the final stretch of 17 games left in the regular season.
