Injured Magic forward Grant Hill said Monday that he has been running sprints and has targeted February for a return, regardless whether the team is out of the playoff hunt. The Magic's season will end April 14.

"I want to play this year," Hill said before the Magic's 89-78 loss to the Indiana Pacers. "I want to play, whether there's five games or 10 games left.

"I'm not rushing to come to the rescue or anything, but I would love to get some games under my belt if I can. Obviously, we have to see where I'm at in this step-by-step process."
