Magic's Nikola Vucevic: Out for Sunday's game at Washington

Vucevic is dealing with a sore Achilles and won't play Sunday against the Wizards, Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Analysis:

Vucevic was suffering from a sore Achilles a little over a week ago, but after playing in all four of the Magic's games since the All-Star break, he noted that his heel flared up again in Friday's win over the Heat. He was able to play through the injury and tallied 25 points, nine rebounds, three blocks, one assist and one steal in 32 minutes, but the Magic won't ask Vucevic to play through the soreness Sunday. Bismack Biyombo will move into the starting lineup at center Sunday and should be in store for 30-plus minutes, while Stephen Zimmerman enters the rotation as his primary backup.
