Quentin Richardson is adjusting to his role as a reserve with the Magic.

Orlando signed Richardson to a four-year, $10 million contract this summer. He started 19 games, including the first 18, but has been on the bench since the team's two December trades.

"It's a lot easier to handle when you're winning and stuff," Richardson said. "I'm just waiting to catch a break."

He is waiting for a break.

"It's a long season, an 82-game season," he said. "I can't see a light at the end of the tunnel. You definitely don't hope for it ... but if somebody goes down, you can be right back."
