Orlando Magic’s playoff appearance changed plans for Mohamed Bamba
The Orlando Magic pushed the reset button on Nikola Vucevic after Mohamed Bamba’s season-ending stress fracture in his left tibia, a move that may pay off in the long run.
The Orlando Magic made Nikola Vucevic a priority in free agency this summer.
It was a smart move by an organization lacking an All-Star-caliber player since Dwight Howard left Central Florida seven years ago.
Last year, the 7-foot, 28-year-old center averaged career highs all around the board — points (20.8), rebounds (12.0) and assists per game (3.8) — placing himself into the conversation of the most talented offensive centers in the NBA. And earning an All-Star Game appearance to boot.
