Magic’s Sean Sweeney gives Jalen Suggs his flowers after returning from injury

In the Orlando Magic's recent win against the Milwaukee Bucks, 107-99 at Kia Center, coach Sean Sweeney honored returning guard Jalen Suggs for his impact despite missing eight games due to a knee injury. Suggs played 21 minutes off the bench, recording three points, two rebounds, and three assists. While his shooting percentage was low, shooting just 1-of-8, including 1-of-6 from long range, Sweeney praised Suggs' overall impact on the game.

"Although he didn’t have a great shooting night, he impacts the game in so many different areas: On the basketball with his point-of-attack defense, his ability to penetrate and make the right play. In limited minutes, he had three assists, and he had a number of potential assists. So, (it was) great to have him back out there and excited for him to keep ramping up."

Suggs, who has struggled with injuries since being drafted by the Magic in 2021, plays an impactful two-way role for the Orlando team.
