Orlando Magic guard Keyon Dooling, who has been out with a bruised right heel since Oct. 18, said he will try to play Sunday. The Magic are home, facing the Cleveland Cavaliers.

"Sunday, that's what I'm shooting for," Dooling said after Tuesday's shoot-around in Houston.

Dooling, acquired this summer as a free agent, was expected to play a pivotal role as a defensive-minded point guard and shooting guard. "Yeah, it's been tough. . . . Not the way you want to start,'' Dooling said. "But I'm getting close."
