Clippers shooting guard J.J. Redick played the first six-plus seasons of his career for Orlando, which drafted him 11th overall in 2006. He spoke in sentimental tones about his days there after the Clippers beat the Magic 107-93 on Friday in Orlando.

“I have nothing but good memories here,” he said. “It is always nice to see familiar faces. One of the ushers is like 82 and he just treated my wife like she was his daughter.

“I caught up with him actually during the game. Just seeing people like that who kind of watched me grow up a little bit from being a rookie to a vet, it is good to see some familiar faces.”

Redick scored 20 points Friday.
