Magic’s Lee Fractures Sinus
Updated April 30, 2009
Orlando Magic star C Dwight Howard should be more careful when blocking shots.
After blocking a shot yesterday, in Orlando’s 91-78 win over Philly, as 8.5-point faves, Howard inadvertently elbowed starting shooting guard Courtney Lee, fracturing his sinus in the process.
According to the Orlando Sentinel, Lee will be out a week and will not only miss tonight’s Game 6 but the rest of the series as well.
The Magic are 6-point underdogs for tonight’s game.
