Disgraced NBA forward Rashard Lewis, who failed a drug test earlier this year, scored 10 points on Monday in his first game back from a 10-game ban for using performance-enhancing drugs.
Lewis, Jameer Nelson (16) and Dwight Howard (14 points) helped lead the Orlando Magic in a 97-91 win over Charlotte, spoiling the Bobcat debut of Stephon Jackson.

France's Mickael Pietrus also scored 10 for Orlando, which has won six straight and nine of the last 10 meetings against the Bobcats.
Lewis was slapped with a 10-game suspension in August for testing positive for an elevated testosterone level.
Because he was caught in the off season the suspension kicked in for the first 10 games of the 2009-10 season.
Earlier on Monday, the Bobcats acquired Jackson from the Warriors and sent guard Raja Bell and forward Vladimir Radmanovic to Golden State. Guard Acie Law also went to the Bobcats.
