What It Means:

That would mean Vucevic is targeting next Thursday, Orlando's first game back after the All-Star break, for a return. "I expect to be back against the Knicks, so I’ll stay in Orlando during the break and keep working on my game," the big man said Monday night. Vucevic fractured his left hand on December 22 and hasn't played since. His return will send Bismack Biyombo to the bench and likely take minutes away from Khem Birch.

Prior to injury, Vucevic averaged 38.0 FanDuel points across 34 games. Once he returns, numberFire's models project him to record 19.7 points, 10.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.1 steals, and 1.2 blocks per game over the remainder of the year.
