After spending most of the season on the bench, Fondy's own Travis Diener has seen more action as of late.
Unfortunately for all involved, it's mainly because of injuries. Hedo Turkoglu and Keith Bogans are both out, and apparently Jameer Nelson and Grant Hill will be out of action as well.
Diener tried to make the most of the situation, but only scored five points on Monday against the Suns and six against the Raptors on Wednesday. Still, for a guy that has spent most of the season on the bench, it's going to take a while to heat up.
One of the reasons that the Magic didn't deal Diener in the offseason was because of situations like this. He's a relatively cheap insurance policy and gives the Magic some shooting off the bench without having to rush the development of former Duke player J.J. Redick.
In case you are wondering, Diener and the Magic are scheduled to play the Bucks on Feb. 7. Last year's game at the Bradley Center was Diener's best of his career.
