Magic's Vucevic will return from 2-game absence

The Orlando Magic are on a rare winning streak, and they will have their best player back in the lineup on Tuesday.

The Magic, who have been playing some improved ball of late, having won five of their last nine, with competitive losses to the Miami Heat, Atlanta Hawks, Charlotte Hornets and Phoenix Suns sandwiched in between, are coming off of two straight wins without starting center Nikola Vucevic.

Now the big man, who has missed the last two games with a sore left ankle, will return to the lineup on Tuesday against the surging Indiana Pacers, reports John Denton of OrlandoMagic.com.

Vucevic has been among the league's best statistical big men this season, averaging a career-high 19.7 points and 11.2 rebounds on 53.3 percent shooting.
