Report: Magic's Vucevic out at least 4 weeks
Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic will be sidelined for at least four weeks with a right ankle injury, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania.
Orlando will re-evaluate Vucevic in seven-to-10 days after diagnosing his injury as a right ankle contusion on Thursday.
The 29-year-old exited Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors midway through the second quarter. After attempting to contest a shot at the rim, Vucevic fell to the floor while clutching his right ankle. The 6-foot-11 big man went to the locker room with the assistance of team personnel.
Following the first All-Star selection of his career last season, Vucevic has continued to stuff the stat sheet. Through 14 appearances in 2019-20, he's averaged 17.1 points, 11.6 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 1.1 blocks in just under 31 minutes per contest.
After Wednesday's loss in Toronto, the Magic are 6-8 on the season and sit eighth in the Eastern Conference.
