Magic's Nikola Vucevic: Game-time decision Friday

Coach Frank Vogel said that Vucevic (Achilles) will be a game-time decision for Friday's tilt with the Hornets, Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Analysis:

Vucevic has missed the last three games with a sore right Achilles, but it appears he's closing in on a return, as he was able to put in an individual workout on the court at the team's morning shootaround. It's not clear if that will be enough activity for the Magic to feel comfortable clearing Vucevic to play, but the team will likely reassess his status as the 7:00 p.m. ET tip off approaches. The Magic have been leaning heavily on Bismack Biyombo as the starting center in Vucevic's stead the last three games, during which Biyombo has averaged 10.0 points and 11.7 rebounds in 37.0 minutes.
