Via ESPN:
Magic guard Courtney Lee, who had surgery last week to repair a fractured sinus, likely will be available for Friday's Game 3 when the conference semifinals against the Celtics return to Orlando, according to a report in the Boston Globe.
Lee has played extremely well for a rookie in his first-ever post-season, shooting 48% from the field with an average of 12.6 points per game. He had a career high performance in scoring in Game 2 against the Philadelphia 76ers, when he had 24 points on the strength of 59% from the field. He also had three steals.
As we previously relayed, Lee will be required to wear a protective mask when he returns to play. It's uncertain how the new equipment will affect him on his first game back. He has also missed the last 3 Magic post-season games. Nonetheless, given Lee's outstanding performance all season long, he can be expected to contribute extensively to the Magic's bid to reach the Eastern Conference Finals once he re-establishes his rhythm.
