The Orlando Magic have promoted J.J. Redick to the starting lineup while Hedo Turkoglu sits due to injury.

Hedo Turkoglu, the Orlando Magic's starting small forward, will miss the next three weeks as he undergoes surgery to repair fractures in his face.

Orlando Magic forward Hedo Turkoglu suffered at least one facial fracture during Thursday's loss to the New York Knicks and may require surgery to fix the damage. Orlando has already ruled him out for Saturday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Stan Van Gundy told the media Thursday he expects to remain coach of the Orlando Magic through the end of the season, and he'll travel with the team to Philadelphia on Friday.

Dwight Howard and Jameer Nelson will return to the Orlando Magic's lineup Thursday night after missing Tuesday's loss to the Detroit Pistons due to injury. Ryan Anderson is still not ready to play.

Stan Van Gundy told the media Thursday that Dwight Howard has indeed asked the Orlando Magic to fire him as head coach. Howard made the situation awkward by denying that report, unaware that Van Gundy himself had confirmed it moments before.

The Orlando Magic updated the statuses of injured stars Dwight Howard, Jameer Nelson, and Ryan Anderson on Wednesday.

The NBA has reviewed footage of Dallas Mavericks center Brendan Haywood allegedly punching Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard in the back and decided not to punish Haywood, a report says. Magic coach Stan Van Gundy claimed Haywood punched Howard repeatedly during Friday's game, bringing about back spasms in the six-time All-Star.

Dwight Howard and Ryan Anderson, the Orlando Magic's two leading scorers and rebounders, may not be available when Orlando takes on the Detroit Pistons this Tuesday.

Ryan Anderson sprained his right ankle in the final minute of the Orlando Magic's loss to the Denver Nuggets on Sunday, prompting the team to list him as day-to-day.
