Bruised heel forces Magic's Evan Fournier to miss 2nd straight game

Fournier missed his second straight game when the Orlando Magic hosted the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday night at Amway Center.

Fournier suffered a right-heel bruise when he made a difficult reverse layup with 3:33 to go in the third quarter of Thursday night's loss at the New York Knicks.

Fournier landed directly on his heel and suffered an injury similar to one he suffered last season.

The problem is he puts weight on his heel whenever he runs or jumps.

"It's no big injury or anything," Fournier said. "It's something I've done in the past. I'm used to this particular pain, so I'll be fine."

He said he's been advised to treat the bruise by staying off his heel, icing it, massaging it and taking anti-inflammatories.

Jodie Meeks started at shooting guard in Fournier's place.
