Sarr, Dort debut; Suggs, Black, Penda progress through injuries

Magic coach Sean Sweeney said Anthony Black (ankle) and Noah Penda (hamstring) were full practice participants for a second day, while Jalen Suggs continues working back from illness, though none is guaranteed for Sunday's game at Cleveland.

Jonathan Isaac missed Wednesday's game for personal reasons and skipped media-access practice time.

Hawks wing Luguentz Dort, acquired from Oklahoma City this offseason, is making his preseason debut, with coach Quin Snyder praising his defensive versatility. Wizards big man Alex Sarr is also playing his first preseason game since June surgery to repair a fractured right foot.
