ORLANDO – The first love for Orlando Magic point guard Jalen Suggs was football.

In the Magic's final preseason game Friday night against the Philadelphia 76ers, he reverted to his roots.

Retrieving a made free throw out of the basket with 0.6 seconds on the clock, Suggs played quarterback and heaved a one-handed bomb to Franz Wagner, who was streaking toward the other basket.

Wagner caught the pass in stride and laid the ball in, beating the halftime buzzer.

The Magic lead the 76ers 58-55 at the half. Suggs has eight points with three rebounds and four assists.
