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.
