Magic's Nikola Vucevic: To remain in starting five

Vucevic will remain in the starting lineup for the foreseeable future, Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Analysis:

Vucevic went for 16 points and 12 rebounds while serving as the starter Wednesday against the Clippers, and while the Magic lost by double-digits, apparently coach Frank Vogel saw something he liked. Vogel told the media Thursday that he'll go forth with Vucevic at center, employing smaller lineups around him more often. As a result, Bismack Biyombo figures to see a reduced role, as was the case Wednesday, when he played 16 minutes, tied for his lowest total of the season.
