ORLANDO -- The Orlando Magic will have to find a way to win tonight's game against the Charlotte Bobcats without their starting point guard.
Jameer Nelson, who sprained his left ankle with 1:55 left in Friday's win over the Nets, will have to sit out tonight's contest.
Chris Duhon will get the start in place of Nelson, who averaged 23.8 points per game, while shooting 48 percent from the floor and 43 percent from beyond the arc in the Magic's 2010 playoff series victory over the Bobcats.
“I’m feeling pretty good,” Nelson said on Friday. “It’s sprained right now so initially it hurts. I just need to get as much treatment as I can, take the medicine they gave me and see how I feel.”
X-rays were negative on his ankle and he remains day-to-day.
