Vucevic Makes Return Against Pelicans | Orlando Magic
NEW ORLEANS – Orlando Magic all-star center Nikola Vucevic, out the past 11 games with a sprained right ankle, made his much-anticipated return on Sunday afternoon in New Orleans against the Pelicans. Vucevic suffered a lateral sprain in his right ankle back on Nov. 20 when he landed awkwardly after jumping and trying to block a Norman Powell shot in Toronto. During their 5-6 run in the 11 games without Vucevic, the Magic briefly strung together a four-game winning streak, but they dropped the last three before the 7-footer’s return on Sunday.
