    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Healthy for most of the first month, the Magic can't seem to shake the injury bug.

    Shooting guard Keyon Dooling could miss a week with strained ligaments in his right thumb, sustained in Tuesday night's game against the Dallas Mavericks.

    Meanwhile, the Magic have recalled rookie power forward James Augustine from the Anaheim Arsenal, their National Basketball League Developmental League affiliate. Augustine flew back into Orlando on Thursday after reporting to Anaheim on Jan. 11.

    Dooling joins small forward Trevor Ariza on the sideline. Ariza will be out another month with a sprained right knee.

    With Dooling on the mend, Keith Bogans will be the first shooting guard off the bench and become the backup to Grant Hill.

    It also means the Magic might have to make a decision on whether Hill plays in back-to-back games Feb. 2-3 if Dooling is still out.

    The chain reaction to Dooling's injury should also increase rookie J.J. Redick's playing time. Redick has played sparingly but had a career-high 13 points last weekend against the New Jersey Nets, hitting 3-of-4 of his 3-point shots.</div>

    redick has proven to at least me that he deserves PT...i hated him in college but i have quickly fallen in love with his game, and he will be one of my favorite players for the rest of his career, no matter where he is
