ORLANDO – For whatever reason, November basketball seems to bring out the best in Orlando Magic all-star center Nikola Vucevic.
On the heels of Sunday’s dynamic 30-point, 17-rebound, six-assist performance in Orlando’s defeat of the Washington Wizards, Vucevic was named the Eastern Conference’s Player of the Week on Monday.
For Vucevic, the longest-tenured player on the Magic, it is his third time winning the East’s Player of the Week award and the second year in a row that he has captured the honor in mid-November. Previously, he won the East Player of the Week award on March 30, 2014.
