Magic's Vucevic: Trade from Sixers 'worked out for me great'

There are times when Nik Vucevic thinks about how things would have been had he remained a 76er.

The 7-foot center averaged just 5.5 points, 4.8 rebounds and 15.9 minutes as a rookie with the Sixers during the 2011-12 season. In the doghouse of then-Sixers coach Doug Collins, Vucevic was traded to the Orlando Magic as part of a four-team deal on Aug. 10, 2012.

That's when his career took off.

The Swiss native averaged 16.2 points, 10.7 rebounds and 32.7 minutes in 276 career games with the Magic before Tuesday night's matchup with the Sixers at the Wells Fargo Center.
