The Orlando Magic upset the New York Knicks on Sunday , 111-102, at Madison Square Garden. The win, however, could prove to be costly, as Jalen Suggs suffered a non-contact injury.

With two minutes left in the fourth quarter, Suggs leaked out on a fast break and was on his way for an uncontested layup when his right knee buckled, sending him crashing to the floor and grimacing in pain.

Any non-contact injury is a bad sign, and the Magic can only hope that Suggs avoided a major injury.

Suggs finished with four points, six rebounds, six assists, and three steals in 34 minutes.

As of this writing, Orlando has yet to give an official update on the 25-year-old guard.

It is the latest blow for the Magic, who lost Paolo Banchero to an ankle injury against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday. Banchero could be out for up to six weeks.

Suggs has been bothered by a knee injury in the last two years, limiting him to a combined 92 games and hampering his ascent. Last season, he averaged 13.8 points, 3.9 rebounds, and career-highs of 5.5 assists and 1.8 steals in 57 games.

If Suggs is sidelined for an extended period, Anthony Black is expected to get the starting nod, with Jase Richardson, Jevon Carter, and Alex Morales splitting off-the-bench minutes. Black suited up against the Knicks after missing their first two outings due to an ankle injury.

With the victory against the Knicks, the Magic entered the win column, improving to 1-2.

They will face the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday.
