Orlando Magic forward Grant Hill will have surgery on his left ankle for a fourth time Tuesday in hopes this operation will finally relieve his chronic leg problems.

Hill, a six-time All-Star, will have his ankle realigned and his heel reshaped, team officials said Monday. James Nunley, an orthopedic surgeon at Duke University Medical Center, will operate.

Hill was placed on the injured list in January after playing just 29 games. He averaged 14.5 points, 7.1 rebounds and 4.2 assists.

He has missed nearly 200 games since signing a $93 million contract with the Magic three years ago, most of them because of his left ankle.

Hill sustained a stress fracture in 2000 while playing for the Detroit Pistons. He has had three operations to repair it but has not been able to relieve the pain.
