Magic's Nikola Vucevic: Will sit out Tuesday vs. Hawks

Vucevic (back) has been ruled out for Tuesday's matchup with the Hawks, Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Analysis:

Vucevic will be missing a second consecutive game, as he continues to nurse a sore lower back. He'll continue to receive treatment over the next few days, but could return to the lineup as soon as Wednesday's tilt with the Clippers. Bismack Biyombo, who's dealt with a shoulder injury, has been cleared and will start at center, so look for both Biyombo and starting power forward Serge Ibaka to pick up some extra minutes Tuesday, after logging 34 and 36 minutes, respectively, during Saturday's game against the Nuggets.
