Magic's Nikola Vucevic: Returns from back injury, double-doubles

Vucevic (back) returned from a three-game absence and double-doubled in Friday's 118-111 win against the Nets, as he tallied 21 points (9-19 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, three blocks and two steals across 31 minutes.

Analysis:

Vucevic was phenomenal in the return from the back injury, playing 31 minutes off the bench and stuffing the stat sheet. Friday's game marked the first time since Nov. 23 that the sixth-year center scored at least 20 points. Vucevic will look to build off this performance Sunday against Toronto.
