The Orlando Magic will be facing the Miami Heat, and it's uncertain if Jalen Suggs will be on the floor after being on the injury report.

Will Paolo Banchero and Jalen Suggs feature in the Orlando Magic vs Portland Trail Blazers interconference regular-season game on Thursday?

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs was a participant in the Magic's Saturday morning shootaround, expressing upfront joy and excitement about his potential return from a 10-game low back strain-caused absence versus the Detroit Pistons.

Over two weeks have passed since Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs left the floor in a wheelchair with a low back strain. Now, the fourth-year guard is "feeling better" and "itching to get back onto the court" as he works through his rehab.

Suggs (quadriceps) is questionable for Thursday's game versus Portland. Suggs returned from a 10-game absence due to a low back strain in Saturday's win over the Pistons, but picked up an injury to his quad in the process.

The Orlando Magic have seen their share of unfortunate injury luck this season. While they recently welcomed Paolo Banchero back in the lineup, and as well as getting Franz Wagner back from injury, they suffered another injury scare on Saturday.

The name, which was created by Jalen Rose's mother, is the most popular in the NBA for the 3rd straight season.

The latest on player health, status and injuries for the Orlando Magic and Portland Trail Blazers before Thursday's matchup.

The Orlando Magic's five-game road trip got off on the wrong foot Thursday night in Portland, falling by 29 points to the Trail Blazers.

The Magic need perimeter scoring. They're on track to be the worst three-point shooting team in more than a decade and their offensive rating has been stuck in the NBA's bottom third since 2011-12. Complementing Banchero, Wagner and Suggs now could further open Orlando's window of contention.

Suggs (quadriceps) won't play Thursday against Portland, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports. Suggs made his return from a lengthy absence Saturday but will miss another game after picking up a quad injury.
