It was a rough regular season for the Orlando Magic. The team struggled for the most part, but the roster is young and developing. They weren't expected to be good this year anyway, as the organization is focused on getting their prospects up to par. This team took a hit after Jalen Suggs suffered a slight stress fracture in his right ankle, but Orlando finally received a potential return date for their young star.
According to Marc J. Spears, Suggs, “is expected to resume basketball activities this summer and make a full recovery for the start of training camp.” This is great news for the Magic, as Jalen Suggs will rejoin the organization right before the preseason. That gives the young point guard time to heal and practice with his teammates before the new NBA year kicks off.

Additionally, this gives Jalen Suggs a real chance to participate in the Summer League. His development is crucial right now, as the Magic need to get the most out of their young prospects. As long as he is not rushed back, Suggs should be fine. This is an ideal return date for him and Orlando, as it sounds like the young rookie won't miss valuable time.
With that in mind, it's likely Jalen Suggs will be fully ready to go once the new season starts. He still must go through a critical rehab to heal his ankle, but team doctors will be monitoring the situation throughout the offseason. Look for Suggs to take a leap in production next year, as the potential is through the roof for the young star point guard.
