Nikola Vucevic out at least four weeks with right ankle injury

The Orlando Magic were dealt some bad news regarding the status of their star center.

The team announced that big man Nikola Vucevic will be sidelined for a minimum of four weeks after an MRI confirmed he sprained his right ankle during the team’s 113-97 loss to the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday night.

The injury occurred midway through the second quarter when he landed awkwardly while trying to defend Norman Powell drive to the basket.

The 29-year old, who signed a four-year, $100 million contract this offseason, has averaged 17.1 points, 11.6 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 14 games this season.
