The Orlando Magic today acquired guard Tyronn Lue from the Milwaukee Bucks in exchange for guard-forward Keith Bogans and cash considerations, the Magic announced today.

Lue has played in 30 games this season for Milwaukee, averaging 4.7 points., 1.5 assists. and 1.2 rebounds in 13.1 minutes. He is shooting .467 (21-of-45) from three-point range.

Lue returns for a second stint with Orlando. He played in 76 games (69 starts) for the Magic in 2003-04, averaging 10.5 ppg., 4.2 apg. and 2.5 rpg. in 30.7 minpg. Lue was a member of the Los Angeles Lakers when they won back-to-back NBA Championships in 1999-2000 and 2000-01.

The addition of Lue comes days after it was announced that Magic starting point guard Jameer Nelson will miss significant time with a torn labrum.
