The Orlando Magic clinched a playoff spot on Sunday night, but in the victory they may have lost forward Glen Davis for a couple of games due to a hyperextended knee.
Glen Davis said he hyperextended his knee & he doesn't know how long he'll be out.
Orlando is already playing without center Dwight Howard, but losing Davis could be another big blow to the team. While Davis has been very hot and cold on the season, he's still a big body off the bench which is an area the Magic have been lacking, especially with Howard out of the line up.

The Orlando Magic held a 13-point lead over the Cleveland Cavaliers at halftime and continued to just build on that lead in the second half, even without star center Dwight Howard. In his absence, point guard Jameer Nelson shouldered to load scoring, picking up 21 points, 9 assists, and 7 rebounds on the night.
The Magic also got a good showing from Jason Richardson, who picked up 16 points, and 13 more points from J.J. Redick and Earl Clark off the bench. Outside of Antwan Jamison's 21 points, the Cavs struggled to put up points and keep up with the Magic's offense.
With the win, the Orlando Magic clinch a spot in the 2012 NBA Playoffs.
