The Orlando Magic were happy to begin to feel whole again after the All-Star Break. The team was playing well entering the break, but the margin for error still felt razor thin. What they were doing likely would not last. And so getting back two of the team’s leading scorers in Nikola Vucevic and Aaron Gordon were a welcome sight.
There would be an adjustment period for sure. Both players had missed pretty significant time — Aaron Gordon nine games and Nikola Vucevic nearly two months — but both could make an immediate impact.
