All-Star point guard Jameer Nelson is optimistic he can play again this season for the Orlando Magic, despite a torn labrum in his right shoulder.

Nelson said he's tolerating the pain well and will decide over the next few weeks whether he will have surgery now or hold off and attempt rehabilitation.
