When Nikola Vucevic first entered the NBA in 2012, he played for the Orlando Magic for nine seasons, leaving as the all-time leader in field goals scored (4,990), second in rebounds (6,381), third in blocks (550), and third in goals scored. In points (10423) and fourth in matches played (591). He also helped the Magic end their six-year playoff drought with two straight postseason appearances.
Now, after three seasons with the Chicago Bulls, the two-time All-Star recently admitted he’d like to continue playing “last year’s time in Orlando.”
“Of course, yes,” Vucevic told L.A Sixth man show. “That’s something I’d love to do. We’ll see when that’s possible, if it’s realistic and how it all works out. If anything, at least get one last year in Orlando. I think it’s right that it happens. So, we’ll see.” “.
