Jareth Cutestory 678 Report post Posted December 15, 2008 quote: The Magic don't expect all-star center Dwight Howard to play tonight when the team faces the Golden State Warriors in Oakland. He has a sore left knee. Howard has been bothered by pain in the knee a few times this season, sitting out several practices. "It's the same irritation he's had," GM Otis Smith. "It's probably best that he just rest." Howard missed the first game of his NBA career --- ending the league's third-longest consecutive game streak --- when he sat out Saturday night against the Uath Jazz in Salt Lake City. http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/sports_magic/2008/12/dwight-howard-1.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ThisIsTheYear 241 Report post Posted December 15, 2008 Two games?! What is he now, injury prone? Man, and I really wanted to see him get 50/30/10 against the Warriors tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Penny Hardaway's Ghost 260 Report post Posted December 15, 2008 hopefully Gortat can keep Beins off the glass...I really really really hope we beat the Dub's tonight...4-1 on the road would be amazing, east or west coast... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skywise316 211 Report post Posted December 15, 2008 I bet he could play if really needed... Otis/SVG are probably just holding him out for the Spurs and Lakers. Now if he sits out a third game? Then it's time to worry, because you don't sit out that long with only a "sore" knee. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gporter 5 Report post Posted December 15, 2008 Thank god!!! I said, before we beat Utah even, that he shouldn't play this game. We are way too good to even worry about the Warriors. He needs the rest. He will need to play thursday and Saturday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaliMagicFan 0 Report post Posted December 15, 2008 Good move. The only way we're losing this game is if we mail it in and that wouldn't change whether Dwight's out there or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Berto 338 Report post Posted December 15, 2008 If we didn't have a mass murderer on our team I might be worried, but Gortat has this covered. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
