He said he expects to play in at least one of the three games the Magic have scheduled next week in China.</p> </p> "This is just a minor setback, that's all," Lewis said after walking out of the trainer's room at the RDV Sportsplex Thursday. "It could have been a lot worse. It's frustrating right now, but I'll be back soon. I'll be fine." -- <font color="#000000">Orlando Sentinel</font></p> </p> </p> [*]Lewis said he can understand why the crowd in Amway Arena let out a noticeable gasp Monday and Wednesday when Lewis hit the floor writhing in pain. [*] </p> "I'm sure, with Grant, the whole time he was here it was frustrating for everybody," Lewis said. "I'm not saying anything bad about Grant because he's one of my idols, but I don't want to be in the same situation he was in. This is a minor ankle sprain. The real deal (regular season) doesn't start until Oct. 31, and I'm sure I'll be ready to roll by then." -- <font color="#000000">Florida Today</font></p></div> </div>
Just rest him until the season or the last preseason game. There's no point risking anything, especially after what happened in the last huge contract we gave in Grant Hill.</p>
