    DeCLERCQ TO UNDERGO SURGERY TO REPAIR TORN CARTILAGE
    Magic starting center Andrew DeClercq will undergo arthroscopic surgery Tuesday (Feb. 10) to repair torn cartilage in his right knee. He is expected to be sidelined 10-14 days. DeClercq has seen action in 51 of Orlando's 53 games this season, starting 36. He is averaging 3.8 rpg., 3.2 ppg., while shooting 50 percent from the field. </div>

    Hell yeah!!!!!!!!! Zaza should be our starter now and Hunter should be getting some minutes. Hopefully this will be the end of the Declerq starting age of the Magic.

    It will be good to see what Zaza can do with some minutes now. He has been starting to show signs of a great player in recent games.

    Its a good time for Zaza to develope and get some mintues. I like the way this kid plays, he is really tough and skilled.

    Declerq, is lazy and not all that great. I'm just sorry he's injured, for the sole reason, he's in pain. Gamewise, I'm glad, time for others to get a chance to play, gain experience and prove themselves.

    Looks like Zaza gets to play. That's good. Maybe we'll get some much needed rebounds and offenese form out centers. Should be nice for him.

    This should really bump Andrew out now.. With Zaza proving that he should be the starter of course.. I am glad to see Zaza finally in there.. It's not good to see someone hurt, this is the last way I wanted him to get in.. But hey whatever works.

    Declerq is definetely not lazy, IMO. He is the biggest hustler in the league, that's why he's still in the league now. It's just you can't be a good player just by hustling, you have to have some skills.

    It says Zaza is officially the starter for Wed, and could start up to 6 games. Hopefully that will be false and Zaza will earn the spot and keep it when Declerq gets back. I think Declerq could be effective on the bench, with his energy, as long as he doesn't take Zaza and Hunter's minutes.

    Like T-Mac lol. Yeah Hunter and Zaza will be getting some well deserved minutes. Andrew does hustle but he just needs some better skills and agressiveness In my eyes.
