Magic point guard Jameer Nelson is hoping to return from arthroscopic surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his knee on Monday night.

Nelson told NBA.com that he's watching his weight in an effort to protect his left knee.

"My weight is actually a little lower than I'm used to. I've actually been watching what I've been eating," Nelson said.

"I actually had two salads yesterday and that's really not me. The last time that I weighed in I was 199 and I used to play at 205."
