Jerry Brewer of the Orlando Sentinel reports: On friday, one of the week's worst kept secrets came true. The Orlando Magic signed point guard Chris Whitney, who had just cleared waivers.

Asked how he would use Whitney, Coach Doc Rivers said, "I don't know. I really don't know. I just thought we needed another player. I think we need another one still, a 2 or 3 [shooting guard or small forward]."

"My job is to just go out there and play," said Whitney, who was waived by Denver earlier this week. "Doc, I've known him for a while, and he wants guys who play the right way. I'm not coming in thinking that I'm owed anything. I'm just happy to be playing for a playoff contender."
