Magic point guard Jameer Nelson is itching to get back on the floor, but he's sticking to the original four to six week timeframe.

Nelson underwent arthroscopic surgery on Nov. 18 to repair a torn lateral meniscus in his left knee.

"I can't do anything about it," he said. "I'll just cheer my team on and be a professional."

Shortly after the surgery, Nelson told his teammates that he hoped to return within three weeks.
