Wonder if this is something he could’ve played through if needed, but since we’re play in bound there’s no benefit
A scoring guard.. never heard of one. :roll:

Definitely not, it’s what keeps your kneecap in place.

It’s interesting that it went from a quad contusion…to lower down the leg with this trochlea injury. That’s quite a miss.

Yeah, it's been that sort of season for the team. Hopefully this doesn't affect his offseason too much.

mle besides first year (and some clauses)

Wow, it sounds like he may be out a year. One thing for sure, we won't get a timeline.

I’m annoyed by it. No offense and injury prone players around our star forwards. Getting Suggs wrong is potentially a build crippling setback

We were already at a point where the season just needed to end so we could get right for next season, so this doesn't change anything in that regard. It's just concerning about how long Jalen might be sidelined with this and if he can truly come back 100% without it being something that impacts the rest of his career.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

The Magic are going to be in the waiver market now for a guard. Reminds me of when Jameer went down and we brought in Skip to my Lou.

indefinitely is NOT "rest of season" if it was why would they not just say it. He may be back for the playoffs..

It's funny how much time he has spent "day-to-day" this season. When you miss as much time as he has had to miss with his injuries, you were never actually day-to-day.

This is an amazing video and because they have not said out for season it makes me believe its not that serious. They are being overly cautious and I think may still play this season.

i think the verbiage they use is just diff because other oblique injuries have been called other things from other teams. i think technically this could also be classified as something that isn't super rare as people say

So his game count for the season will be at 35, the least amount of games in his career.
Advant Health treated his back, quadriceps for so long, but rhe knee issue was not taken serious and turned out to be a major lingering issue and main injury. They shoud hire Dr. House to be a diagnost there or something.
With Suggs out we have by far the worst guards rotation is the NBA in terms of shot creation, dribbling and shooting. What a blow.
