Vucevic (back) is listed as questionable to play Friday, the Orlando Sentinel reports. He had encouraging words for the media, insisting "[My back] feels better. I did some work. Each day, I did more and more, and it reacted well. So it's heading in the right direction."

Analysis:

Vucevic was seen shooting in full practice gear during Thursday's practice session and during Friday's morning shootaround at Philips Arena. He missed the previous five games with a lower-back injury. If Vucevic is unable to play against the Hawks on Friday, expect Kyle O'Quinn to pick up the slack for the sixth consecutive contest.
