Hedo hopes to return in playoffs
Hedo Turkoglu looked serene after the Denver Nuggets crushed the Orlando Magic on Sunday night at the Pepsi Center. As teammates dressed and attendants packed up the Magic's gear, Turkoglu noshed on the postgame meal and sat in a chair inside the visitors' locker room near the training tables.
The truth is, as calm as he seemed, Turkoglu is in a hectic race of his own. Magic officials and Turkoglu hope he can return from a fractured cheekbone and play in the team's first-round playoff series, which could begin as early as this Saturday.
Even Turkoglu doesn't know how effective he would be.
"I'm just trying to get myself into good shape, as much as I can, and hopefully I'll be able to come back and be ready to play," Turkoglu said. "I don't know how ready I will be, but I'm pushing myself to be ready as much as I can. And if I get the opportunity, I will try to go out there and do my best that I can and help the team."
