ORLANDO – When he re-signed with the Orlando Magic last July, ensuring that he will remain the longest-tenured player on the active roster, Nikola Vucevic talked about being afforded the opportunity to further build his legacy with the franchise.
On Wednesday, when the Magic opened the season against the Cleveland Cavaliers at the Amway Center, Vucevic moved a step closer to another franchise record that will likely be his in the near future.
Vucevic, who believed so strongly in the Magic’s future that he re-upped with the franchise in early July, made his eighth consecutive Opening Night start on Wednesday against the Cavs.
