Last year was a whirlwind for Nikola Vucevic and the Orlando Magic.
He arrived in Charlotte for the All-Star Weekend still unsure of his place in the league. He was there to enjoy the moment. His son, only a few months old, made the trip to share the moment with his father. The Magic’s playoff run had not yet kicked into high gear.
Nikola Vucevic made the All-Star Game on the strength of his statistics and consistency. Teams did not yet know the Magic were going to make a run to the playoffs.
