Orlando’s NBA Cup semifinal loss to the Knicks was compounded by a Jalen Suggs injury that adds uncertainty to an otherwise promising early season.

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs has received an injury update after leaving Saturday's game against the Knicks.

The Magic, with eyes on the playoffs, hope this loss leads to gains later on. “It’s definitely a motivation,” Wendell Carter Jr. said.

Orlando guard Jalen Suggs has left the arena in a wheelchair after an NBA Cup semifinal loss to New York. Suggs injured his left hip during the game on Saturday night.

Don't expect the NBA Cup quarterfinal game between the Heat and the Magic this Tuesday night to be played on a special court.

The knockout rounds of the 2025 NBA Cup started on Tuesday, Dec. 9 when the Miami Heat faced the Orlando Magic in an East quarterfinal game.
