Magic’s Jalen Suggs to miss rest of season after knee surgery
Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs will miss the remainder of the season after having arthroscopic surgery to remove a cartilage fragment in his left knee, the team said Tuesday.
The Magic said the procedure involved a mosaicplasty to repair the trochlear joint surface and that Suggs is expected to make a full recovery.
Suggs left a Jan. 3 game with back spasms and since then has made only one appearance, in a Jan. 25 win over the Detroit Pistons. During his recent ramp-up to return to play, he experienced discomfort in his knee and had further testing.
