Orlando beats Philadelphia behind a big game from Nikola Vucevic
Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic racked up 26 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal in 36 minutes as the Magic beat the Philadelphia 76ers 112-109 on Monday.
What It Means:
He didn't show any ill-effects from the Achilles injury that held him out from Sunday's practice, and it looks like we can expect him to play his usual workload moving forward. He's averaging 19.7 points, 11.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks per game (nine contests) since the All-Star break.
Vucevic finished Monday's win with a team-high 21.7 nERD, per numberFire Live. He is tied for fifth among Magic players and 295th in the NBA with a -0.9 nERD on the season.
