Magic GM rules out Jameer Nelson return in playoffs
BY John Denton ‧ FLORIDA TODAY ‧ May 21, 2009
=================================================================
Injured Orlando Magic point guard Jameer Nelson desperately wants to return
to action and told NBA TV that it was a possibility, but general manager Otis
Smith shot down that idea today.

Nelson had surgery on Feb. 19 to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder
and has started working out in basketball drills again. Nelson said he can
shoot without pain, but he’s yet to go through contact drills.
That didn’t stop Nelson from telling NBA TV on Wednesday night that, “
sometimes people heal faster than others. I’m pushing myself a little, but I
’m not going to do anything stupid. (A return) is definitely possible.’’
Not so, says Smith, who said he has Nelson’s future in mind when
definitively ruling out his all-star point guard for the rest of the
playoffs. He said Nelson won’t be fully released to go full speed until
August.
“He’s a long way away and he just started shooting last week,’’ Smith
said. “He was done for the season in February and that hasn’t changed.
Right now he’s having a hard enough time playing (pick-up) against (athletic
trainer) Keon (Wise). It’s about his future. If it was up to him he’d play,
but it’s not up to him. He’s moving good, feeling good and looking good,
but that’s playing against air.’’
Nelson averaged a career-best 16.7 points this season and made the all-star
team for the first time in his career.
