| June 5, 2008 Jameer Nelson will be the Magic's starter at point guard next season, but the team will likely be in the market for a backup since both Carlos Arroyo and Keyon Dooling are unrestricted free agents who are unlikely to return, according to the Orlando Sentinel. |
| May 13, 2008 Even if Detroit point guard Chauncey Billups manages to suit up, he will have a tough time keeping up with Jameer Nelson, who is averaging 18.3 points and 4.7 assists per game over his past three outings. |
| May 11, 2008 Jameer Nelson and the Magic are not ready for the offseason. The point guard predicted a win in Tuesday's at Detroit. "We're going to make some adjustments and we're going to win this game," Nelson tells the AP. "I'm not being arrogant or cocky or anything like that. I think [Saturday] we let it slip out of our hands. Game 2 we let it slip out of our hands. We're going to win this game in Detroit." |
| April 27, 2008 While the box score may not reveal just how potent his efforts were in giving the Orlando Magic a 3-1 series lead over the Toronto Raptors on Saturday, point guard Jameer Nelson was the straw that broke the Raptors' back with a late-game flurry that sealed the win, according to SLAM Sports. Nelson was given a full tongue lashing from coach Stan Van Gundy at the end of the third quarter, telling him, "You've got no aggressiveness." After the game, Van Gundy admitted he was trying to light a fire under the point guard, and it worked. Nelson scored 10 consecutive in a four-minute span to end the game and seal the win for his team. |
| April 26, 2008 Jameer Nelson said he plans to play on Saturday despite collapsing on his way to the dressing room with back spasms after Game 3, according to the Orlando Sentinel. He said his back started tightening up late in the game. |
| April 24, 2008 Jameer Nelson collapsed in the locker room with "excruciating" back pain after the Magic's Game 3 loss to the Raptors, according to the AP. |

| April 20, 2008 Jameer Nelson contributed 24 points in Sunday's 114-100 win over the Raptors in Game 1 of the playoffs. He also registered seven assists, two boards, one steal, and one block. |
| April 1, 2008 Jameer Nelson will return to action tonight, according to the Orlando Sentinel. He has been nursing a bruised jaw and concussion-like symptons but he is ready to return to the court, and will lend solid support to the Magic as he averages 10.9 points and 5.7 assists per game. |
| March 31, 2008 Jameer Nelson is ready to return to action Tuesday, according to the Orlando Sentinel. He missed last Friday's game due to a concussion and the Magic could use him back as he averages 10.9 points and 5.7 assists per game. |
| March 28, 2008 As expected, Jameer Nelson didn't participate in Friday's game because of a bruised jaw suffered Tuesday, according to the AP. It's not clear when Nelson will return to the lineup. Check back for updates. |
| March 28, 2008 The Magic likely will hold Jameer Nelson out of Friday's game as a precaution, according to the Orlando Sentinel. "We got good news. It was just a jaw contusion; it was not a concussion," Coach Stan Van Gundy said. However, Nelson has a history of concussions, including one earlier this season, so the Magic don't want to take any chances. |
| March 27, 2008 Jameer Nelson (bruised jaw, dizziness), according to the Orlando Sentinel, is doubtful for Friday's game. The team doctors are not likely to clear him for contact drills for another week. |
| March 26, 2008 Jameer Nelson is day-to-day with a bruised jaw, the Orlando Sentinel writes. Carlos Arroyo is ready to step in should Nelson miss any time. |
| March 25, 2008 Jameer Nelson was forced out of Tuesday's game due to a bruised jaw, according to the AP. Apparently, he sustained the injury when he ran into Dwight Howard. Considering how big Howard is, Nelson's lucky that's the only injury he sustained. Nelson's been banged up all year long, so let's hope he can return quickly from his latest injury. |
| March 22, 2008 The Philadelphia Daily News reports that Jameer Nelson described his year as his most injury-filled season of his basketball career. Nelson has missed 10 games with the following: concussion, back strain, strained tendon in his right foot, strained right hamstring, notes the report. "This is probably the healthiest I've been in a long time," Nelson said before the game. "I had injuries nobody knew about, as far as the media was concerned, and I tried to play through it. "I never make excuses," he said, "and when I step on the court, I play to the best of my ability." The Magic guard is averaging 11 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists per game. |
| March 4, 2008 Jameer Nelson is expected to return to the lineup tonight, according to the Orlando Sentinel. He had been questionable due to a bout with the flu that kept him out of Saturday's contest. Go ahead and insert Nelson into your lineup if you need him. |
| March 3, 2008 The Magic could be without Jameer Nelson (flu) and Keyon Dooling (foot) again on Tuesday. Nelson missed practice on Monday, and Dooling left early due to left foot pain, the Orlando Sentinel reports. Carlos Arroyo would start against the Raptors on Tuesday if both guards are out, and Hedo Turkoglu could see action at the point. |
| March 1, 2008 Jameer Nelson, who is suffering from a strained hamstring and a bought with the flu, was inactive for Saturday's win over New York. Nelson was injured in the Magic's loss to Philadelphia on Wednesday and is considered day-to-day. |
| February 20, 2008 Jameer Nelson played over 30 minutes Wednesday and finished with 13 points, four assists and a steal in the loss to the Raptors. The point guard was on the floor for just 20 minutes in the last contest, so it was nice to see him out there more tonight. He's playable in deeper leagues. |
| February 11, 2008 Jameer Nelson played 38 minutes on Monday night and was able to score 22 points with four boards and four assists. Over the past three games Jameer has averaged 16.7 points and seven assists a game, and he continues to be a fine waiver-wire target for those of you in shallow leagues. |
| February 8, 2008 Jameer Nelson will return to the starting lineup on Friday, replacing Carlos Arroyo at the point, according to the Orlando Sentinel. "We'll go back to him," coach Stan Van Gundy said. Nelson can provide decent fantasy value when hot, and he'll get a chance to get back on his game now. He's on plenty of waiver wires at the moment and is worth picking up to see if he can get on a roll. |
| February 7, 2008 Jameer Nelson has made a mini-comeback to reclaim his starting job according to the Orlando Sentinel. Nelson replaced Carlos Arroyo, who started for the 10th consecutive time on Wednesday night, but when the offense struggled Nelson got his chance. Head coach Stan Van started Nelson over Arroyo in the second half, a sign that the job will return to Jameer. |
| February 1, 2008 Coach Stan Van Gundy said that Jameer Nelson will continue to come off the bench behind Carlos Arroyo because "the rotation is working well," according to the Orlando Sentinel. Van Gundy also pointed out that Nelson's not quite in "game form" after just returning from a sprained foot on Wednesday. Nelson should work his way back into the starting rotation once he's up to speed, but for now, he'll see his action limited. |
| January 28, 2008 Jameer Nelson missed his fifth straight game Sunday due to a sore foot, but he hopes to be ready to go on Wednesday, according to the Orlando Sentinel. "I'll practice this week and see how it feels," he said. "I want to play. I wanted to play [Sunday]." Although he sounded positive in that statement, he added that the strained tendon in his foot feels similar to the mid-foot sprain that cost him 20 games two seasons ago. We'll have to wait to see how he holds up in practice before speculating about whether he'll actually lace 'em up for Wednesday's run. |
| January 26, 2008 Jameer Nelson sat out another game Friday due to the strained tendon in his right foot. A recent MRI and CT scan revealed no structural damage, according to the Orlando Sentinel. He's listed as doubtful for Sunday's run with the Celtics, so it appears it may be a while longer before we see him back in action. |
| January 19, 2008 Jameer Nelson missed Saturday's game due to a strained tendon in his right foot. He's now missed two straight games, and it's not clear when he'll be able to go again. |
