Jerry Brewer of the Orlando Sentinel reports that Magic guard Darrell Armstrong?s shoulder isn?t getting any better. Coach Doc Rivers would like to sit Armstrong and rest him, but without Mike Miller available, Armstrong is forced to continue playing.

Armstrong hurt his shoulder Oct. 22 in a preseason game against Memphis. He has played through the pain, mostly the result of fluid buildup, so far this season. But it's going on a month, and he's still sore.

Asked if he should sit out, Armstrong predictably said no.

"I don't think sitting one or two games would help me out," Armstrong said. "If it worsens, which it hasn't, then that might be a possibility."
