After Howard trade, Magic hope for luck
NEW YORK — Pat Williams is pretty good at being lucky, and he’s got a hunch. “I got a funny feeling that this could be another Magic year, here. For some reason, I’ve just got the feel,” Williams said. Orlando sure could use it. Following a difficult first season after trading Dwight Howard, the Magic are hoping Williams can bring them more lottery luck. Armed with the best odds and their three-time winner back on stage, the Magic will try to jumpstart the rebuilding process today by landing the rights to the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft. Williams has won four times, including victories in 1992, 1993 and 2004 with the Magic. They used the most recent one to draft Howard, and no team since has entered with the best odds and won the lottery. The Magic were back in the lottery the next two years but were busy playing in the postseason every spring since until this one, when they finished an NBA-worst 20-62 after sending Howard to the Los Angeles Lakers last August in a four-team deal. That gives them a 25 percent Continue reading...

Notes
PHILLIES Ruiz to DL MIAMI — Philadelphia Phillies catcher Carlos Ruiz is headed to the 15-day disabled list with a strained right hamstring and first baseman Ryan Howard is day to day with a sore left knee. Both players had magnetic resonance imaging scans Monday before Philadelphia’s game against Miami. Ruiz has a Grade 2 hamstring strain. He has played in 16 games and is hitting.235 with two RBI. “Right now he’ll probably be out three to four weeks — relative time frame,” Phillies trainer Scott Sheridan said. “That’s kind of what we’re thinking right now based on the size of the tear and location.” Howard has had symptoms for the past couple of weeks and is hitting.179 in 16 games this month. “He’s got some changes in his meniscus in his knee and also has some inflammation in his knee that concerns us,” Sheridan said. “We did a cortisone injection with him [Sunday] and he’s not available to play tonight and we will just treat him day to day right now and go from there.” Howard is batting.245 with 6 home run Continue reading...
