Milicic scored two points in four minutes of action in his Orlando debut Tuesday night. The Magic took a chance on the big man, trading for him after the Pistons gave up on the No. 2 overall pick in the 2003 draft. Milicic made the only shot he took. |
| NOTES: |
Orlando coach Brian Hill said Milicic will be given every opportunity to play, but the third-year center has to learn the team's system first. |
|
|
| NEWS: |
Hardaway, along with Trevor Ariza, was dealt to Orlando on Wednesday in exchange for Steve Francis, returning the guard to the place where he began his career. Hardaway has suffered multiple knee injuries and has played in only four games with the Knicks this season, instead choosing to rehab on his own in Houston. |
| NOTES: |
This is mostly a salary dump for Orlando, as Hardaway's contract comes off the books in the offseason. Always a threat to get hurt, Hardaway could see a minor boost in his stats with the return to a familiar place. |
|
|
| NEWS: |
Ariza was traded to Orlando on Wednesday along with Anfernee Hardaway in exchange for Steve Francis. A second round pick in 2004, the small forward from UCLA clashed with Knicks coach Larry Brown and had inconsistent playing time. He averaged 4.6 points in 36 games. |

The Pistons finally gave up on Milicic Wednesday, trading the big man to Orlando along with Carlos Arroyo in exchange for Kelvin Cato and a first-round pick. The No. 2 pick in the 2003 draft, Milicic has struggled to get playing time and has underachieved in his three seasons with the Pistons, averaging 1.6 points, 1.2 rebounds and 5.8 minutes. |
| NOTES: |
The 20-year-old remains talented and the trade will give him an opportunity to showcase the skills that made him so highly regarded three years ago. With consistent playing time with the Magic, expect Milicic to make an impact in the second half of the season. |

| NEWS: |
Arroyo was traded with Darko Milicic to Orlando on Wednesday in exchange for Kelvin Cato and a first-round pick. The point guard was averaging 3.2 points and 3.1 assists, but his playing time was about to decrease with the return of Lindsey Hunter to the Detroit lineup. The Pistons acquired Arroyo 13 months ago from the Jazz. |
| NOTES: |
Arroyo may see more playing time with the Magic, but don't expect his numbers to jump dramatically, given that Jameer Nelson has entrenched himself as the starter at point guard. |

The Charlotte Bobcats took another hit on Saturday, as Bogans suffered a Grade 1 sprain of the medial collateral ligament in his right knee in a loss to the Milwaukee Bucks.
