Jalen Suggs ejected after dust-up as Magic roll Sixers

The Magic ran Philadelphia off the floor on Tuesday night. They also lost Jalen Suggs before halftime.

Suggs was ejected with 27 seconds left in the second quarter of Orlando’s 144–103 blowout after picking up two technicals during a heated exchange near the Magic free-throw line.

It started when Andre Drummond and Wendell Carter Jr. squared off. No punches, but plenty of posturing.

Suggs jumped in and gave Drummond a shove, Jabari Walker stepped between them, and the whole thing escalated from there.

More pushing. More barking. And eventually, more whistles.

Drummond, Carter, Walker and Desmond Bane all got technicals. Suggs got two and hit the tunnel.

Did it matter? Not even a little.

Orlando buried the Sixers long before the altercation. The Magic won the second quarter by 26, took an 86-60 lead into the break and never looked back.

Anthony Black exploded off the bench for 31 points to lead Orlando’s onslaught.

Tyrese Maxey finished with 20 for the Sixers, who never found a pulse.

The Magic, meanwhile, found a spark, even if one of their guards didn’t get to finish the night.
