Read in today’s LA Times that Lon Rosen, M 's agent, denied rumors that Earvin is ill. Wait- basketball camp just opened, Malone & Payton, Kobe case etc. ,& I haven’t seen or heard of Magic for a couple weeks. Very suspicious.

A little research turned up that Magic is/has been in a “celebrity” LA Hospital. Couldn’t get more details.

Anybody know the straight dope ?
