Vucevic (groin) was been ruled out for Friday's game against the Heat.

Analysis:

That's 11 straight games Vucevic has missed due to a lingering groin issue. As has been the case lately, Dewayne Dedmon should earn another start in Vucevic's place for Friday's in-state affair. While the Magic have another game slated for Saturday against the Bulls, it's unclear if Vucevic is close to returning in the near future.
