From ESPN:

ORLANDO, Fla. -- The Orlando Magic are holding guard J.J. Redick out of summer league play because of a back injury.
Redick repeatedly has said he's not bothered by the herniated disc in his back, an injury announced just before the Magic took him No. 11 overall in the NBA draft. He received a cortisone shot about a month ago and said he won't need surgery.
"I feel I could be out there, but we had to decide if it was worth the risk and not take the chance," he said.
General manager Otis Smith said Friday the club was holding him out as a precaution because Redick hasn't played full speed in four weeks.

--------------------------------

I bet the back is a bigger problem than he was letting on and that's really why he's not playing. This is a problem that could keep him out many games during his career like baron davis and t-mac
