Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs said that Anthony Black’s gutsy performance vs. the Indiana Pacers almost made him cry (8 points/3 rebounds/3 assists/2 steals/1 block/2-6 FG/2-3 3-PT/2-2 FT/+1 +/- in Monday’s 119-115 home win).
(via Orlando Magic):
“I love AB like my brother. I see so much in myself in him, especially last year, him dealing with the ebbs and flows of an NBA season and staying with it, staying with his work. I love that kid, man. We’ve had so many conversations about hoop, more importantly about life. To see him get this moment was great. I love P (Paolo Banchero), so glad he got 50 points and what a night for him. But man, AB almost brought me to tears today, because I’ve seen it. He’s been here all summer. He’s worked his tail off. He hasn’t complained. All he’s done is prepare himself for a moment’s call, and today was his moment. He stepped into it with ultimate confidence. I couldn’t be more happier for him, man. I love AB to death.”
