It had been a month since Chen Yu arrived in Orlando, but this was his first time inside the TD Waterhouse Center.

Yesterday was the first game since Paul Plessey took over as head coach—a home game against the Nuggets.
With Tracy McGrady out, they had, unsurprisingly, lost again.
The Magic were now 5-15, the third-worst team in the Eastern Conference.
The only two teams with worse records, the Bulls and the Hawks, were leaving everyone in the dust on their race to the bottom.
Yesterday was December 7th. Their next four-game road trip didn't start until the 11th, giving them three full days of rest.
But Plessey had scheduled a practice for the afternoon anyway.
Tracy McGrady was there too, undergoing physical therapy with Houston.
Even though he was Billings's protégé, no one was about to throw away their job.
