Vucevic will again come off the bench Wednesday against the Pistons, Emily Austen of FOX Sports Florida reports.

Analysis:

Vucevic missed most of March with a groin injury, but returned to action last Thursday against the Pacers and has played in each of the last three games. Despite arguably being the Magic's best offensive weapon, Vucevic has worked off the bench since returning, with coach Scott Skiles commenting that it's easier to monitor the big man's minutes in a reserve role. With only five games remaining on the season, it seems likely that Vucevic will continue to come off the bench, but if the last three contests are any indication, it shouldn't hinder his production much. He's averaging 23.7 points and 6.7 boards over that span.
