Vucevic (Achilles) will miss Wednesday's game against the Nets, Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Analysis:

Vucevic was originally scratched last Friday with a sore Achilles and hasn't played since. The center had become a big part of the Magic's lineup, averaging 15.8 points and 12.3 boards in his last six games. In his absence, Dewayne Dedmon and Andrew Nicholson have seen an increase in minutes. They will likely continue to do so until Vucevic returns, at which point he'll likely take a majority of his minutes back.
