The Orlando Magic have scheduled an 11 a.m. news conference for today in which standout small forward Hedo Turkoglu will be awarded the NBA's Most Improved Player.
Turkoglu, who boosted his scoring average by 6.2 points from last season, will be the fourth Magic player to win the award. Tracy McGrady (2001), Darrell Armstrong (1999) and Scott Skiles were the others (1991).
