Orlando Magic point guard Jameer Nelson and former Magic center Dwight Howard were the best of friends for years but last season there were reports of tension between the two.  Nelson, who has tendinitis in his left Achilles  is listed as a game time decision for tonight's game against Howard and the Los Angeles Lakers.  Nelson recently spoke about facing his old friend tonight.

"I’ve seen a lot of players come and go, and I just wish him the best in everything he’s doing and for him and his family to be successful, just like any other player that I’ve been on a team with. We’ve been through a lot together, so I certainly wish him the best. Hopefully, he’ll be successful in whatever he does....I’m here with my guys, the Orlando Magic. Like I said, I wish the guy the best of luck, and I have nothing negative to say about him. I have no negative energy towards him at all. He’s playing for the Lakers. I’m playing for the Orlando Magic. He’s my opponent and that’s it. I wish him luck.”
