ORLANDO, Fla. – Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs left Saturday night's game against the Detroit Pistons with a sore left hamstring and did not return.

Suggs left the floor during the second quarter and spent a chunk of time away from the bench area. Although he did return to the bench out of halftime, he did not again take off his warm-up or attempt to return. Second-year guard Anthony Black started the second half for Suggs.

"Sore left hamstring," Magic coach Jamahl Mosley said postgame when asked of Suggs' status. "We're gonna see how he responds to treatment."

While Suggs declined to go in-depth about the injury postgame with reporters in the locker room, he assured that he was good.

"I'm solid. I'm good," Suggs said. "Good win tonight."

Suggs had two points and an assist in nine minutes of game time in Orlando's 111-100 win. This season, he's averaging 15.5 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.8 assists, adding 1.5 steals and 1.2 blocks a game.

The Magic are in Charlotte on Monday evening for a 7 p.m. date with the Hornets. Orlando's injury report for the game must be submitted by 5 p.m. ET on Sunday afternoon.
