ORLANDO, Fla. – Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic is set to miss the next four weeks due to an ankle injury, according to NBA Insider Shams Charania.
The Magic said Vucevic was diagnosed with a right lateral ankle sprain. The team said he will be re-evaluated in seven to 10 days.
Arguably, Vucevic has been the best player for the Magic this season.
