Magic's Nikola Vucevic: Injures back Friday

Vucevic injured his back in Friday's loss to the Hornets.

Analysis:

He left the game in the fourth quarter, and the team eventually ruled him doubtful to return. Vucevic ultimately did not return, but the game was out of reach, so the severity of the issue is unknown. He is expected to be evaluated upon returning to Orlando. He finished with seven points (3-10 FG, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists, and a steal in 23 minutes. His status for Saturday's game against the Nuggets is unknown at this time.
