Orlando Magic bring back Nikola Vucevic on one-year deal

The Orlando Magic have re-signed former All-Star center Nikola Vucevic to a one-year contract worth $3.9 million, following the start of free agency on June 30. Vucevic's return addresses the team's depth at the center position after Moe Wagner signed with the Brooklyn Nets. Alongside Vucevic, the Magic also re-signed Jevon Carter and brought back Jonathan Isaac after waiving him. Sources indicate that Vucevic accepted a less lucrative contract to return to Orlando, highlighting his significance in the franchise's history. The Magic aim to enhance their frontcourt with Vucevic joining Wendell Carter Jr. and potentially Goga Bitadze on the roster.
