Magic point guard Jameer Nelson is making progress in his rehabilitation from arthroscopic surgery on his left knee last month.

His workload is increasing each day, but coach Stan Van Gundy says that the earliest he could practice with his teammates will be this coming Sunday.

"I want to practice before then, but I've got to listen to the boss," Nelson said. "I'm going to push it as much as I can because I'm a competitor, but I'm not going to do anything stupid."

Nelson is averaging 13.7 points and 5.5 assists per game this season.
