Magic forward Andrew DeClercq has been sidelined all season with a knee injury, and he now hopes to be back at full strength by mid-February.

"I'm looking at the all-star break," DeClercq said. "It has just been a real slow process. It's getting better, but there's still some things I can't do."

DeClercq, 6 feet 10, 255 pounds, had surgery to repair his right knee this summer. He suffered a setback a month ago in his rehabilitation and basically had to start over.
