<div class="pre">SEATTLE (Ticker) - Rashard Lewis makes his return to Seattle on</div>Wednesday when the Orlando Magic face the SuperSonics.

Lewis, who spent his first nine seasons with the SuperSonics,was acquired by the Magic in a sign-and-trade deal during theoffseason after opting out of the final two years of hiscontract.


Seattle received a future conditional second-round draft pick aspart of the deal, while Lewis signed a six-year, $118 milliondeal - the largest in franchise history and fourth highest inthe NBA.


The 28-year-old forward has not disappointed this season,averaging 19.8 points and 4.9 rebounds. Lewis scored 22 points,helping the Magic to a 103-76 win over the Sonics on November13.


The Sonics likely wish they had Lewis back as a loss on Wednesdaywould tie them with the 1967-68 team for the worst start infranchise.


Seattle is an NBA-worst 0-6 at home.
