Mickael Pietrus will be out indefinitely after an MRI on Tuesday revealed he has a fracture in his right wrist.

Pietrus fell hard after making a dunk in the second quarter against the Detroit Pistons on Monday night, bracing himself with his right arm for the landing. He did not return to the game.

Otis Smith says Orlando doesn't have interest in acquiring Joe Smith of the Oklahoma City Thunder.

"Did those rumors say what we are giving up for him? What am I going to do with another big? Am I just collecting them?" Smith said.

The Oklahoma City Thunder will attempt to trade veteran forward Joe Smith after adding Nenad Krstic.

The Raptors, Heat, and Magic are three teams believed to be interested in Smith.

Magic center Dwight Howard wrote in his October blog on NBA.com that he wants to lead the league in both rebounds and blocked shots.

"In order for our team to be successful, I have to block shots, defend really well and become more of a presence on defense," he wrote more than two months ago.

Through Tuesday night's action, Howard is leading the NBA in rebounds (13.9 per game) and blocks (3.65).

Magic coach Stan Van Gundy says that center Dwight Howard has been picking up some "ticky-tack fouls" lately, and believes that referees pay more attention to big men.

"I think [Howard] is very frustrated the way the game is being called right now," Van Gundy said. "It's different in this league. The real good perimeter players seemed to really get the benefit of every call, any touch. The real good big guys, it seems it's just the opposite.

"They let people do more in there. I think it's part of an ongoing thing ? they won't say that ? but I think the league is trying to do everything it can to make it a perimeter league and not a post-up league."

Five years after landing with the team, point guard Jameer Nelson is finally comfortable running Orlando's offense.

"I always knew what my role was," Nelson said. "I've just been doing a better job of doing it. Throughout the course of the game you know what to do, having a feel for the game, knowing when to shoot, knowing when to pass and get guys in certain positions."

Orlando is 20-6, and has won seven of their last eight games. Thanks in part to Nelson's improved play this season.

"I always knew what my role was," Nelson said. "I've just been doing a better job of doing it. Throughout the course of the game you know what to do, having a feel for the game, knowing when to shoot, knowing when to pass and get guys in certain positions."

Magic GM Otis Smith says that the team does not have any interest in point guard Marcus Williams, who is rumored to be seeking a buyout from the Warriors.

Orlando only has two point guards on their roster after losing Mike Wilks to a season-ending injury.

Mickael Pietrus could return to the floor for the Magic on Saturday night against the Lakers after missing ten games with torn ulna collateral ligament in his right thumb.

"If I feel ready, I might go on Saturday," Pietrus said. "But it takes time when you haven't played in three weeks to get back in basketball shape and the team's level. I'm gonna work hard to make sure that when I get back on the floor. I'm ready to help the team."

Magic center Dwight Howard missed the team's last two games because of an aching left knee, but after an MRI revealed no damage, he could face the Spurs on Thursday.

Howard underwent the MRI on Tuesday.

"It's been a little sore, but it hasn't hurt me for a couple of days," said Howard. "Hopefully, I'll be back on the court on Thursday. It doesn't concern me. I took a hard fall in Phoenix, and that's what caused it."
