Magic Won’t Return

Again, Magic Johnson had the ball, made a move to the basket, then passed.

The playmaking wizard announced he can’t give the necessary 100 percent of his energy to returning to the NBA with the Los Angeles Lakers, and he will concentrate on his expanding movie-theater and shopping-mall interests.

Johnson’s health is good, and there were no medical questions involved in his decision, said his agent, Lon Rosen. The former Lakers guard is HIV positive.
