    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Grant Hill missed the fourth quarter Friday night when the Magic rally fell short.

    He might miss the entire game tonight.

    As if the Magic don't have enough injury woes, Hill added another problem as they try to salvage their dimming playoff hopes, limping off the court late in the third quarter against the Washington Wizards.

    The Magic (34-38) play the Nets (35-38) tonight in New Jersey, and Hill might not be available for a game that could push them further out of playoff contention.

    "I'm not a fortune teller," Hill said before leaving the TD Waterhouse Centre for the airport after the game. "We'll have to see. Right now, it's a little sore."

    Hill played 30 minutes Friday, getting 17 points, four rebounds and four assists, but he was unable to spark a team that desperately needed him.

    He left with 1:40 remaining in the third quarter after committing his third turnover of the game, then fouling out of frustration. His limp had become noticeable just before then.

    Hill said it was the same left shin bruise that has hindered his play late this season, causing him to miss three consecutive games in early March. Hill missed much of the previous four seasons because of left ankle problems that required numerous surgeries.

    "The good thing is, in the last two or three weeks when it's sore, it seems to respond well to a little rest, and I'm ready the next day," he said. "I think it was obvious, though, I was having problems."</div> Source

    He and Jameer are possibly back for Dallas, not sure. I am sure 1 of the 2 will play, even if its just a few minutes. It will help alot.

    We need to win win win~!! and we really need Hill back. With him playing or not, it really makes our team difference. IMO, we need Hill to pace the game.
