終於抖暑.....
ORLANDO, Fla. -- Orlando Magic All-Star forward Grant Hill does not plan on playing the rest of this season due to a badly bruised shin.Hill, who has missed the last two games with the injury, spoke of his plans before the Magic's crucial home game against Chicago on Wednesday.
"You always want and try to play, to do what you can do to play," said Hill, who has made a remarkable resurgence this season. "But let me get healthy these last seven or eight games and then let me answer that question . Right now, I'm just worried about getting right and getting myself in a situation where I can get back out there. And then we can assess everything."
Hill missed most of the last four seasons with a broken ankle that has undergone five operations, including a bone graft, and derailed a handful of comebacks. One of the procedures resulted in Hill's contracting a staph infection that required him to be rushed to the hospital with a dangerously high fever.
"I'm going to be careful. If I learned anything, it's to be careful," Hill said. "This year has definitely been something to build on and something to definitely look forward to having when I come back. Definitely, next year I look forward to getting myself ready. I don't want to sound like I'm looking to next season, but regardless of what happen, I'm in good shape."
In 67 games, his first "full" season since coming to Orlando five years ago, Hill has averaged 19.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and 3.3 assists. He also has shot 51 percent from the field and made the Eastern Conference All-Star team.
Hill has missed seven games with shin and wrist ailments but has had little or no trouble with his ankle.
"It's not that, I promise you," Hill said.
However, Hill has been told that the bruised shin could become a stress fracture if he tries to play. He suffered the injury February 27 against Miami, and it has gotten progressively worse.
"The worry is you don't want it to become a stress fracture, but even if that were to happen, I've been told it's not a cast or surgery," Hill said. "It's just something that I need to take time off to rest and let it heal and get right."
Hill's absence is a huge hit for the Magic (35-39), who have slumped over the last month and are trying to play their way back into the Eastern Conference playoff picture. They already are without forward Hedo Turkoglu, who suffered a broken wrist that ended his season.
Orlando is 10th in the East, 1½ games behind Philadelphia for the eighth and final playoff berth. It has lost 12 of its last 16 games, replacing coach Johnny Davis with Chris Jent during that stretch.
