Available for opener Magic head coach Jamahl Mosley said Suggs (knee) will be available for Wednesday's season opener in Detroit, Khobi Price of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Impact Despite missing the Magic's final three preseason contests with a capsule sprain and a bone bruise in his left knee, Suggs was able to avoid any major damage and looks like he won't have to miss any regular-season action because of it. Suggs may have a minutes restriction of some sort in the opener, but expect the second-year player to start alongside Cole Anthony in the backcourt.

Returns to practice Magic coach Jamahl Mosley said Suggs (leg) was limited in practice to shooting drills Thursday, Philip Rossman-Reich of OrlandoMagicDaily.com reports.

Impact Suggs suffered a left knee capsule sprain and a bone bruise in last Friday's preseason game versus the Mavericks. While it is unclear if the 2021 No. 5 pick will be able to return for the regular-season opener in Detroit, his return to practice is a good sign that he will not miss an extended period of time.

Avoids serious injury Suggs suffered a capsule sprain and a bone bruise in Friday's preseason game versus the Mavericks, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact While Suggs is slated to miss some time because of the injury, he's at least avoided the worst-case scenario. Per Wojnarowski, his timetable to retake the floor will depend on how he responds to treatment, so it will be worth monitoring his progress as the regular season approaches.

Leaves Friday's game Suggs was helped off the floor and into the locker room following a collision during Friday's preseason game, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Suggs collided with the Mavericks' Dorian Finney-Smith during the first half of Friday's exhibition contest and had to be helped by trainers to the locker room. While the extent of the issue remains unclear, it's a concerning development for the point guard after he missed extended time twice during his rookie season due to lower-body injuries. Following Friday's matchup, the Magic have two remaining preseason games before they open the regular season against the Pistons on Oct. 19.

Gonzaga has proved itself as a new-era blue blood, national title or not

Starting Monday Suggs (ankle) will start during Monday's preseason opener against the Grizzlies.

Impact Suggs underwent ankle surgery during the offseason, but the 6-foot-5 guard is officially ready to go for his second year in the NBA. The Gonzaga product is set to take the court with 2022 No. 1 overall pick Paolo Banchero for the first time in their careers during Monday's preseason opener.

Resumes shooting, running Suggs (ankle) has progressed to shooting and running but has yet to be cleared for full contact or five-on-five work, Theo Lawson of The Spokesman-Review reports.

Impact Suggs missed 11 of the Magic's final 13 games due to an ankle issue that required surgery in early May. Had he not been recovering, Suggs likely would have played in Summer League. His rookie campaign was a bit disappointing, with the Gonzaga product averaging 11.8 points on 36.1 percent shooting, 4.4 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 27.2 minutes. It seems likely Suggs will be available for training camp.

Undergoes ankle surgery The Magic announced Monday that Suggs underwent surgery last week to repair a stress fracture in his right ankle.

Impact Suggs was forced to miss a number of games at the end of the regular season due to the ankle issue, so it's no surprise that the Magic wanted to address the minor stress fracture promptly to ensure he would be fully healthy by the start of training camp. The nature of the surgery was said to be preventative, and Suggs is expected to resume basketball activities over the summer and make a full recovery prior to camp ahead of the 2022-23 season. Suggs averaged 11.8 points, 4.4 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 27.2 minutes per game during his rookie season.
