It took him six seasons, two teams, and three coaches, but in 2012/13, Glen Davis finally found a situation in which he could become a go-to offensive player. The LSU product opened the Orlando Magic's season as the team's co-captain, sharing those duties with Jameer Nelson, and celebrated his new on- and off-court responsibilities by jacking shots with a level of recklessness not often seen in bigs.

Jameer Nelson has missed the Orlando Magic's last five games after spraining his right ankle against the Washington Wizards on March 29th. The veteran point guard could return for the final four games of Orlando's season, but there's a chance he'll sit out for good, reports Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel. Magic coach Jacque Vaughn described Nelson as "day-to-day for us" following Sunday's loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. "I don't have a timetable," he said of Nelson's possible return to the lineup. Beno Udrih, acquired from the Milwaukee Bucks on February 21st, has started at p...

Jameer Nelson sprained his right ankle in the first quarter of the Orlando Magic's game against the Washington Wizards, a team spokesperson said, and he is doubtful to return. The team has yet to determine his status for Saturday's game against the Atlanta Hawks.
