    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">TORONTO -- The Orlando Magic's injury list continued to grow today after starting power forward Tony Battie was diagnosed with a bone chip in his right hand that could put him out indefinitely.

    Battie apparently injured his hand during the Magic's loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday night.

    Battie likely will join the injured list, with Grant Hill, Trevor Ariza and Keyon Dooling.

    Darko Milicic will start in Battie's place tonight against the Toronto Raptors.</div>

    it's a pretty big loss leading up to a big game, we could've really used him today to try and contain Bosh. But it was alright to see Darko starting today, its something we should seriously think about doing next season. Darko's got oh-so much potential, Brian Hill needs to release the beast within and give him more minutes. It would just be a shame to see such potential go to waste.

    This is Darko's chance to shine now. This is where he can win the starting job away from Battie.
