HAPPEL, STEPHEN CURRY NAMED PLAYERS OF THE WEEK

Orlando, FL (AP) - Back from his injury, and back on top. Magic forward Brian Happel was named the Eastern Conference's Player of the Week for December 23-29th. Happel had spent much of the past three weeks on the sidelines after suffering a twisted ankle against Minnesota on December 3. That gave some other guys in the East a chance at some hardware, namely John Wall, Dwayne Wade and LeBron James. But, once Happel was back on the court, it didn't take him long to get back to his old tricks and dominating performances.

VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS: Happel's 1st game back against San Antonio was a strong one: 40 pts, 12 reb, 6 ast

Happel led his Magic to three blowout victories, two of them on the road. He averaged 32 points, 16.7 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game for the week. Happel also shot 61% from the field and blocked four shots in the three games. "I was just ready to get back on the court," Happel said after practice yesterday, "Sure, it's nice to be recognized like that. But, you know the most important stat? Orlando went 3-0 last week. I don't care if I score 80 points or no points, as long as we win and I can contribute, that's all that I care about."
