Update: Nelson to play in NBA Finals.

Well, looks like the man who torched the Lakers in the regular season is ready and willing to play against us. Out for the rest of the season, ay? Not too confident to win without Jameer"kat" Nelson in your line-up, Orlando?

ESPN: Orlando Magic players say Jameer Nelson will play in the NBA Finals, even though the All-Star point guard and his coach remain publicly pessimistic.

Nelson participated in a full team practice Tuesday for the first time since tearing the labrum in his right shoulder Feb. 2. While Nelson and coach Stan Van Gundy still said it won’t be determined until game day, players said Nelson looked “terrific” and expect the point guard to be on the court against the Los Angeles Lakers.

“I expect to see him out there at some point in the series,” backup point guard Anthony Johnson said.
