Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic will not play Friday against the Toronto Raptors due to a right knee bone bruise, the team confirmed Thursday.

The 25-year-old big man injured his right knee during Orlando's 119-114 overtime loss to the Houston Rockets Wednesday.

Vucevic had a MRI on Thursday, which revealed a bone bruise in his knee, and he's now receiving treatment for the injury. His return date will be determined by how he responds to the treatment.

He's averaging 15.8 points and eight rebounds this season.
