Jalen Suggs of the Orlando Magic is on the mend after suffering a non-contact low back strain earlier this month, which had him wheeled off the court in Toronto. Although he has yet to set a return date, he has made progress in rehabilitation, participating in drills alongside teammate Jett Howard. Suggs, who was averaging 16.4 points and several assists before his injury, expressed eagerness to return to the court while reflecting on the challenges of recovery.

His absence has been felt by the team, especially with stars Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner also sidelined. Magic coach Jamahl Mosley highlighted Suggs' positive impact on team morale. Despite the injury setback, Suggs aims to return stronger, integrating lessons learned during his recovery and reigniting his competitive spirit.
