Jalen Suggs, Wendell Carter Jr. Ruled Out for Magic vs. Charlotte; Gary Harris to Start

The Orlando Magic will be without three of their usual five starters for their matchup with the Charlotte Hornets Monday night.

Starting guard Jalen Suggs (left hamstring strain) and center Wendell Carter Jr. (left foot plantar fasciitis) were both ruled OUT under two hours before scheduled tipoff between Orlando and Charlotte. All-Star forward Paolo Banchero continues to be out.

Suggs left the Magic's Saturday night contest with what the team deemed a sore left hamstring. In Orlando's 111-100 win over the Detroit Pistons, he played just nine minutes before exiting the game in the second quarter. The Magic guard left the bench area for evaluation and was ruled doubtful to return.
