Vucevic (groin) returned to practice Monday, Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Analysis:

Both Vucevic and Victor Oladipo (wrist) were present for Monday's workout, but coach Scott Skiles didn't comment on the availability for either player for Tuesday's game against the Nets. Since Vucevic's absence has already stretched to 12 games, there's a good chance the Magic may want to see him practice again before reinserting him into the starting lineup. Regardless, Vucevic looks close to returning, so if an impatient owner elected to drop him in shallower formats, he's worth scooping back up off the waiver wire.
