Arroyo Leads Puerto Rico Over Panama

Aug 23, 2007 10:31 PM

Carlos Arroyo rebounded from a dismal opening game with 16 points and eight assists, leading Puerto Rico to a 108-67 victory over Panama on Thursday in the FIBA Americas tournament.

Ricardo Sanchez scored 19 points and Carmelo Lee had 17 for Puerto Rico, which looked sharp the day after being upset by Mexico. Arroyo was the biggest problem in that game, missing all 10 field goal attempts and scoring four points.

But the Orlando Magic guard helped the Puerto Ricans race to a 12-0 lead, and they turned the game into a rout in the second quarter.

The Magic still are expecting to fill a void left by center/forward Darko Milicic, who signed with Memphis last month. They strongly are considering Adonal Foyle, waived last week by Golden State, along with free agent Brian Skinner. They had talked with both P.J.

Oakley Thinks He Can Help Magic

Aug 22, 2007 9:38 AM

Charles Oakley, who played 19 years in the NBA as a bruising power forward before retiring in 2004, said Tuesday he could help the Orlando Magic develop some much-needed toughness if they add him to the roster for this season.

Oakley, 43, said he could fill the need for a veteran frontcourt player behind Dwight Howard and Tony Battie.

"Orlando has a good young team with a bright future -- I like Dwight Howard -- but I could help them develop some heart and some toughness," he said Tuesday on his cell phone from Las Vegas, where he was watching the USA Basketball team and conducting personal workouts. "I'm available. And I'm in shape, better shape than most of the guys in the league today."
