When Magic F Grant Hill returns from injury, the club will have something of a dilemma, thanks to Hedo Turkoglu's terrific play.

Magic Assistant General Manager Otis Smith didn't reject the idea out of hand, saying "Grant would be fine" with playing as a reserve, especially as he rebuilds his stamina.

The Magic will be more judicious in distributing Hill's minutes when he returns from his second rehab stint since his sports hernia surgery Oct. 31. When Hill returned after missing the first 19 games of the season, he preferred to start because he never played as a reserve in 12 seasons.

But Smith also said that Turkoglu could easily come off the bench, considering Turkoglu's experience as a sixth man and playing behind Hill.

Hill said before Friday night's game in New York against the Knicks that he likely would be out another week.
