Magic point guard Jameer Nelson has been playing well since the All-Star break.

"My confidence level is really high right now because I am healthy," Nelson said. "I'm I feeling a lot better physically. Not just the knee my whole body. I'm doing things in the gym I couldn't [before]. I couldn't lift weights the way I wanted to so it was just kind of hard."

He's averaging 16.8 points and 7.7 assists per game in the last seven games.

Nelson had arthroscopic knee surgery on November 18.

"With a knee injury, a weight-bearing injury, I was just playing games," the point guard said. "I couldn't practice. I couldn't practice at all. If I did practice it would be only half court. The first part of practice, first 25, 30 minutes of practice were just sitting down. So one thing was being in shape, but another thing was having a rhythm. I didn't have a rhythm at all."
