The Orlando Magic guard supported the women's Big 12 conference champions, the TCU Horned Frogs, wearing a backward Hailey Van Lith jersey Monday night in Birmingham, Ala. Suggs has been romantically linked to Van Lith since 2021. With his Gonzaga Bulldogs out of March Madness during the Round of 32 and being sidelined with injury, it's easy to see why Suggs would be in attendance.
The promising guard, now in his fourth year in the league, underwent successful arthroscopic surgery to remove cartilage in his left knee that had shut down his season.
The Los Angeles Clippers were visiting his ball club in Orlando, Fla. at the exact time. The Magic fell to the Clippers 96-87 and are now a game behind the Atlanta Hawks in the Eastern Conference for the seventh seed.
There was recent speculation the couple may have split, but Suggs's presence and support suggest otherwise.

Van Lith has now reached the Elite Eight with three different teams. She started her career with the Louisville Cardinals and then transferred to the then-defending champion LSU Tigers under Kim Mulkey to start the 2023-2024 season. After a year in the Bayou, Van Lith headed to the Lone Star State and was named the Big 12 Player of the Year after a strong 2024-2025 season in Fort Worth.
TCU fell to the No. 1 seeded Texas Longhorns 58-47 in the Birmingham, Ala. regional Monday night.
They finished the season 34-4 and won their first Big 12 conference tournament title, and Van Lith was a massive part of that.
