Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs is still operating under a strict minutes cap as he works back from March surgery to remove a cartilage fragment in his left knee. Through seven games of the 2025/26 campaign, the 24-year-old has averaged just 19.6 minutes but is producing 11.0 points, 4.4 assists, 3.1 rebounds and 1.7 steals while shooting .551 from the field, .448 from three and .909 at the line. Head coach Jamahl Mosley, asked Friday when Suggs might play more, said only that the club will “be careful for the long haul” and hopes to raise his workload once it is safe to do so. Orlando owns a +14.5 net rating when Suggs is on the floor and a -5.9 mark when he sits.
Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra spoke publicly Friday after an early-morning fire on Thursday destroyed his family’s South Florida home. No one—including the family dog—was hurt. “The South Florida community has just been absolutely remarkable,” Spoelstra said while flanked by his children, thanking supporters for offers of help and emphasizing that “Spoelstras are resilient.”
The NBA announced a scoring correction from Thursday’s matchup between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Washington Wizards. With 8:15 left in the second quarter, Wizards guard Tre Johnson converted both free throws, but the first was mistakenly recorded as a miss. League officials have updated the statistics, confirming the Cavaliers’ lopsided victory at 148-115 after the revision.
Washington forward Bilal Coulibaly missed his second consecutive game Saturday because of a left calf contusion. The 2023 No. 7 overall pick had already sat out the season’s first four contests while recovering from thumb surgery.
