ORLANDO, Fla. — The Orlando Magic say All-Star point guard Jameer Nelson will miss the rest of the season after having shoulder surgery.

Nelson had a successful procedure performed Thursday by Dr. James Andrews in Birmingham, Ala. and the Magic said he would need an estimated four to six months of rehabilitation.

Nelson dislocated his right shoulder and tore his labrum on Feb. 2 against Dallas. Before that, he had been selected to his first All-Star game after averaging 16.7 points.

The Southeast Division-leading Magic made a trade to replace Nelson before Thursday's deadline, acquiring Rafer Alston from Houston in a three-team deal that also included Memphis.
