Darko Milicic is playing for a new contract this season, which could be as high as $60 million.  Milicic continues to be a reserve for the Magic, but has been playing effectively and is finishing games for the club.

"When Darko has early success, his confidence soars," Magic coach Brian Hill said of Milicic. "He's how we're going to get better. If we're running plays through Dwight (Howard) and Darko, it's going to make us better down the line. We have to force-feed those guys."
