Orlando Magic Coach Doc Rivers said he likely will need back surgery, as early as next week, possibly missing Thursday's NBA Draft at the team's headquarters at the RDV Sportsplex in Maitland.

Rivers had been bed-ridden with lower back pain recently, and he is experiencing numbness in his right leg.

He could not play golf -- except for a few benign swings with an iron -- in his own charity tournament Friday in Windermere.
