Magic forward Grant Hill likely will begin practicing with the club by the end of next week.

Hill went through his longest individual workout before Monday night's victory at Boston.

He underwent surgery to repair a hernia Oct. 31 and is expected to be back before Christmas.

"I felt good, really good," said Hill, who played a controlled game of one-on-one against Bo Outlaw, his third since Friday. "That was the longest one I've had so far. I'm getting closer."
