Nikola Vucevic has a right knee bone bruise and will not play Friday against the Raptors.

Vucevic was diagnosed with a bone bruise in his right knee and won't play Friday against the Raptors.

Analysis:

Vucevic injured his knee on a non-contact play in the third quarter of Wednesday's loss to the Rockets, with an MRI on Thursday confirming the nature of the injury. The center will be receiving treatment over the next two days and could potentially return when Orlando faces the 76ers on Saturday, though that's far from a given. With Vucevic out for at least Friday's game, Dewayne Dedmon is expected to move into the starting lineup at center.
