Magic's Nikola Vucevic: Questionable for Tuesday vs. Hawks

Vucevic (back) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Hawks, Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Analysis:

Vucevic missed his first game of the season Saturday against the Nuggets, with a bruised lower back causing his absence. Though he was limited to non-contact work during practice Monday, the Magic are hopeful the big man can return to action Tuesday, though a final ruling on his status may not be available until after the team holds its morning shootaround. Bismack Biyombo is also questionable with a shoulder injury, so if both centers are ruled out, regular starting power forward Serge Ibaka would likely see most of the action at the position.
