Nikola Vucevic (ankle) expects to be back for Magic by Sunday
Orlando Magic forward/center Nikola Vucevic (right ankle) said Sunday's game versus the New Orleans Pelicans would be a "realistic" return date if he's unable to play Friday versus the Orlando Magic.
What It Means:
"Hopefully, I can go (play) tomorrow," Vucevic said. "If not, Sunday should be a realistic date, for sure. And then we'll see tomorrow if I'll be back out there." Vucevic practiced in full on Thursday, so he has a decent chance of returning Friday, barring any setbacks. Khem Birch and Mo Bamba are going to lose minutes.
Vooch is averaging 39.5 FanDuel points per game this season.
