Magic's Jalen Suggs helped off with left knee strain in Game 2

CLEVELAND -- Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs is questionable to return to Monday night's Game 2 at Cleveland after being helped off the court with what the team called a left knee strain.

Suggs was injured with 4:02 remaining in the first quarter, when his left knee made contact with Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell's left leg as Suggs attempted to steal the ball.

Suggs immediately fell to the ground, and the Magic called timeout to check on him.

As his teammates stood around him, Suggs continuously shook his head. After being checked by team trainers, Suggs needed help getting off the court, unable to walk off on his own power and put any weight on his left leg.
