ORLANDO — Magic reserve shooting guard J.J. Redick rejoined the team Wednesday 90 minutes before tipoff after traveling to Virginia to be with his younger brother, David.
David Redick had surgery to remove a tumor near his spine. The younger Redick, a former football player at Marshall University, had the surgery on Monday at Duke Medical Center in North Carolina, and doctors are still running pathology tests on the tumor.
“Everything went about as well as it could have,’’ Redick said Wednesday. “He’s in stable condition and he’s making jokes which is really good. He’s still got a long road ahead with some bumps in it, but he’s doing OK.’’
Redick missed Monday’s lopsided defeat of the Atlanta Hawks and Tuesday’s practice. He has averaged 3.7 points in 27 games this season.
