Just four days ago, it looked like Jalen Suggs’ 2023-24 season was over as he winced in pain, holding his left knee on the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse court afte
r colliding knees with Cleveland Cavaliers All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell.
Then the switch flipped. Franz Wagner knocked down a pair of jumpers, including a 24-foot 3-pointer assisted by Suggs, followed by another triple from Suggs moments later. Banchero’s first of four 3-pointers on the night gave Orlando its first lead in the series at the 5:27 mark in the first quarter.
As for Suggs, he erased any concerns over his health status with two ferocious dunks. Late in the first half he took advantage of Cleveland’s zone defense with a hard cut from the top of the arc, received the pass from Wagner and slammed home a one-hand dunk to extend Orlando’s lead to 21 points. Suggs put some extra flash on his second dunk after he intercepted a pass from Marcus Morris Sr.
