Magic's Vucevic out Wednesday with back spasms
Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports
The Orlando Magic will be in extra tough against the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday.
Orlando is without starting center Nikola Vucevic - the team's leading scorer and rebounder - for the second consecutive game due to back spasms. Vucevic is averaging 18.6 points, 11.7 rebounds and shooting 50.7 percent from the field.
Kyle O'Quinn will once again get the nod in the starting lineup. O'Quinn logged a season-high 27 minutes in Tuesday's loss to the Golden State Warriors, and erupted for 21 points on 9-of-16 shooting from the field while hauling in 11 rebounds.
The Clippers enter the contest on a five-game winning streak.
