Vucevic (groin) went through shootaround and said he will play Thursday against the Pacers, Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Analysis:

Vucevic is finally set to make his return after missing all but three games in the month of March due to a strained groin. It looks like the Magic may limit him in his first game back, however, as coach Scott Skiles said that Vucevic would come off the bench in his return. With that in mind, Vucevic won't make for an appealing DFS play given the likelihood that he'll have his minutes restricted. If he makes it out of Thursday's game no worse for the wear, Vucevic could soon wrest the starting center job back from Dewayne Dedmon.
