Nelson was selected 20th in the 2004 NBA Draft
by the Denver Nuggets
, and was subsequently traded to the Orlando Magic
for a 2005 first-round draft pick. Though many speculated he would be within the top 10 picks, he fell to number 20, and the Magic, eager for a point guard, acquired Nelson.
Nelson started the NBA season off slowly, coming off the bench as a backup to point guard Steve Francis
. However, later in the season he earned additional minutes and became a steady backup, consistently providing a well-rounded game. Later in the season, Nelson became the starting point guard (Francis was moved to starting shooting guard
). Nelson improved the Magic's overall ball-handling, reducing turnovers
, and played efficiently and consistently. He kept his starting position for the remainder of the season, with the exception of a few games under new interim head coach Chris Jent
. At the end of the season, Nelson was selected to the NBA All-Rookie Second Team. On February 22, 2006, the Magic dealt Francis to the New York Knicks

In the 2008–2009 season he started as a key player for the Orlando Magic
having career highs in points, steals, FG% and 3 point % and therefore was selected as a 2009 All-Star
where he joined teammates Howard and Rashard Lewis
in Phoenix
– the host city. On February 2, 2009 in a game against the Dallas Mavericks
, Nelson left in the third quarter after a foul by Dallas center, Eric Dampier. An MRI exam revealed a torn labrum in Nelson's right shoulder, a potential season-ending injury (although he was activated and played during the NBA Finals
). Nelson was averaging 16.7 points per game, 5.4 assists per game and was selected to his first NBA All-Star Game, but had to sit out due to the injury. After days of speculation leading up to Game 1 of the NBA Finals, the Orlando Magic decided to play him off the bench.
On March 18, 2011, Nelson made a game winning buzzer beater against the Denver Nuggets. However, on April 10, 2011, Nelson's last-second three-pointer was ruled "no basket", and the Magic lost to the Chicago Bulls 102-99.
