Despite having extra time to rest and recover over the All-Star break, Jalen Suggs has yet to return to full strength.

Orlando Magic head coach Jamahl Mosley provided an update on Tuesday, telling Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel that while Suggs was able to participate in the running portions of practice, he has still not been cleared for contact drills.

Suggs has been dealing with a lingering left quad contusion, an injury that caused him to miss 19 of the team’s last 20 games before the break.

While his involvement in practice is a positive step forward, his timeline for a full return to game action remains uncertain.
