Grant Hill's terrific comeback to the NBA this season hit a slight bump in the road when a bruised right shin caused him to sit as the Magic took on the Golden State Warriors.

The move, it is reported, was purely precautionary.

``I'll be back,'' Hill said before the Magic played the Golden State Warriors. ``I won't be out long.''

``The most important thing is the ankle feels great,'' Hill said. ``It doesn't look great, but it feels great. I've been able to play four games in five nights and back-to-backs. That feels good.''

Hill is averaging 20 points, 4.7 rebounds and 4.0 assists through the first 18 games and he is a key reason the Orlando Magic are in first place in the East after ending worst in the NBA last season.
