Orlando, FL (My Sportsbook) - Orlando Magic shooting guard Courtney Lee will miss Game 6 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals against Philadelphia because of a fractured sinus. Lee was hurt during the first quarter of Game 5 on Tuesday when he took an elbow to the head from teammate Dwight Howard. Lee remained on the court, lying on the baseline for two possessions and was then helped to the locker room. Tests revealed the sinus fracture and the team declared Lee out for Thursday's game. Lee will be evaluated by a specialist to determine the course of treatment and his playing status will be updated accordingly. The Magic won Tuesday, 91-78, to grab a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven set. Lee is averaging 12.6 points in five games this postseason after averaging 8.4 points in 77 games during the regular season.
