Courtney Lee Injury News – Fractured Sinus

Stephen Kersey — Fri, 01 May 2009 03:10:51 +0000

Courtney Lee, the rookie sensation for the Orlando Magic, could miss the rest of the playoffs. Lee suffered a fractured sinus after taking an elbow to the face from superstar teammate Dwight Howard during Game 5 of the team’s first round series versus the Philadelphia 76ers. In the contest, Lee was only able to play six minutes before leaving the game.

While there’s a chance he could return in the playoffs, those chances don’t seem very likely. He has to undergo surgery to repair the fractured sinus.

During the regular season, Lee played in 77 games and started 41 of those contests. He averaged 8.4 points per game while shooting 45% from the field, 40.4% from the three-point line and 83% from the free throw line. In the playoffs, Lee averaged 15.8 points per game in the first four games of the series before getting hurt in the fifth game. He shot 48.1% from the field, connecting on 26-of-54 shot attempts.

On Thursday evening, the Magic were able to beat the Sixers to advance to the second round of the playoffs. Orlando won despite not having Lee or Howard able to play. Howard missed the game because he was serving a one-game suspension for elbowing Samuel Dalembert of the Sixers.

Dwight Howard’s first playoff games of the 2009 NBA postseason was filled with injury and insult. First he got hit in the eye by Samuel Dalembert of the Philadelphia 76ers, then he watched Andre Iguodala hit a game-winner that sent Howard and the Orlando Magic to a 100-98 loss.

Howard had to leave the game for a little while after getting his eye scratched. Although he said after the game that his eye was pulsating and that he wasn’t seeing clearly, Howard insisted that he won’t miss Game 2 in Orlando. Just to make sure Howard is healthy, he will meet with an eye doctor prior to Wednesday’s Game 2.

In Game 1, Howard finished the contest with 31 points, 16 rebounds, two blocks and two assists, while making 11 of his 13 field goal attempts and 9 of his 12 free-throw attempts. In the regular season, Howard averaged 20.6 points per game while leading the entire NBA in rebounds (13.8) and blocks (2.9).

Pat Garrity announced that he has retired from the Orlando Magic. If you want one last glimpse of Garrity on a basketball court, check out the video at the end of this entry that has Garrity dunking on Samuel Dalembert of the Philadelphia 76ers.

Garrity was never a great fantasy player, however he’d sometimes be useful as a spot three-point shooter. Although, his retirement likely won’t impact many fantasy basketball teams around the world.

Here is the Pat Garrity video of his dunk:
