Vucevic had the best season of his career in 2018-19, his seventh in the league. The USC product started a career-high 80 games for the Magic and averaged a double-double for the fifth time in his career. He established new career-highs of 20.8 points and 12.0 rebounds per contest. Vucevic finished third in the league in total rebounds, eighth in rebounds per game, 19th in total points, and 27th in points per game. He shot a career-best 36.4-percent from three-point range and drained a career-best 84 three-pointers. Vucevic registered 60 double-doubles during the regular season. Only Andre Drummond and Rudy Gobert had more. He posted a triple-double on Oct. 20 in Philadelphia with 27 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists. Vucevic was named to his first career All-Star team and selected by Team Giannis. He scored four points and grabbed five rebounds in 12 minutes of action during the All-Star Game in Charlotte. Vucevic led the Magic to the No. 7 seed in the Eastern Conference and a matchup with the Raptors in the first round of the postseason. Vucevic started all five games against Toronto and averaged 11.2 points, 8.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.0 block per contest. He posted playoff career highs in points (22), rebounds (14), assists (6) and blocks (3) in Game 3 of the series.

Vucevic entered the 2017-18 season looking to bounce back from a slightly down scoring year by his standards, and he did so almost immediately. In the second game of the year, Oct. 20 against Brooklyn, Vucevic tallied a career-high 41 points, also chipping in 12 rebounds and three assists. Three-point shooting was a point of emphasis in the offseason, with the coaching staff giving him the green light early. That was evident here, as he went 6-for-8 from distance in his career-best scoring day. The next milestone came Dec. 9 against the Hawks, when Vucevic recorded his first career triple-double with 31 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists. Former Magic centers Shaquille O'Neal and Dwight Howard had logged triple-doubles with blocks, but Vucevic was the first at the position to do so with assists, further illustrating the evolving role of the big man's role in the league. His triple-double was part of a seven-game December double-double streak, but just before Christmas, the injury bug bit. Vucevic left a Dec. 23 contest against Washington due to a hand injury, which was later found out to be a fracture. He missed 23 games as a result, but bounced right back with 19 points in his return Feb. 22 against the Knicks. Vucevic averaged 15.2 points and 9.0 rebounds through the season's final 23 games. The 2017-18 season can ultimately be characterized by three-point shooting, as Vucevic knocked down a career-high 64 treys despite only playing 57 games. His previous career best was 23.

After leading the team in both scoring and rebounding in back-to-back seasons, Vucevic once again headed into 2016-17 with another new head coach in Frank Vogel. Things were largely similar early on, as Vucevic started and averaged 11.9 points and 11.5 rebounds through the season's first 16 games. He was pulled from the starting lineup Nov. 27 in favor of Bismack Biyombo for defensive reasons, and that's a trend that continued until Jan. 8. As a reserve, Vucevic averaged 14.3 points and 9.4 rebounds, even though he dealt with a bit of back trouble during that stretch. Vucevic returned to the starting five Jan. 11 and never looked back (with the exception of a four-game stretch in February due to an Achilles injury). His season high of 30 points came in his second game after regaining his starting role, when he led the Magic to a road victory against Portland. His season-best rebounding total came a few weeks afterwards, when he corralled 19 boards Feb. 7 against the Rockets. At the conclusion of the season, Vucevic had a three-year scoring low with 14.6 points per game, but it was still good for the third-best mark on the team. He also lead the Magic in rebounding (10.4 rpg) and was third in total blocked shots (74). The Magic finished with a record of 29-53 and missed the postseason.

Entering 2015-16 with a new head coach in Scott Skiles, Vucevic began the year with high expectations, particularly on the defensive end. His efforts there were evident from the start of the campaign, as Vucevic blocked 10 shots in his first three games. Five of those rejections came against the Thunder on Oct. 30, when Vucevic also chipped in 26 points and seven rebounds. He missed three games in November due to a knee bruise, but he got back on track and put up one of the best months of December in franchise history. Through 15 games in December, Vucevic averaged 19.4 points, 9.0 rebounds and 3.5 assists. He continued that pace into the new year, logging seven double-doubles in an eight-game stretch in January. Vucevic also recorded a season-best 35 points Feb. 23 against the Sixers. He missed a 13-game stretch in March due to a groin injury, but he returned to post 21.6 PPG over his final seven appearances. At the conclusion of the season, Vucevic led the Magic in both scoring (18.2 PPG) and rebounding (8.9 RPG) for the second consecutive season. The team still missed the postseason with a record of 35-47.

With another stellar season under his belt, Vucevic signed a four-year extension with the Magic on Oct. 21. A week later on opening night, he put up 15 points, 23 rebounds and four blocks against the Pelicans. Vucevic averaged 18.6 points and 11.7 rebounds through the first 19 games of the year before missing a six-pack of games due to back spasms. He was back on Dec. 13 with a vengeance, reaching double figures in all but one of the remaining games he played in. Vucevic set a new career high with 33 points Jan. 12 against the Bulls, chipping in 11 rebounds and four assists as well. That mark wouldn't hold up long, as he put up 34 points (along with 18 rebounds) Jan. 23 against the Knicks. Vucevic remained a regular double-double threat, and had yet another career game in an April 3 victory over the Timberwolves. In 40 minutes on the court, Vucevic put up a new career high with 37 points (19-for-25 FG) to go along with 17 rebounds. When it was all said and done, Vucevic led the Magic with a new career high in scoring (19.3 ppg) to go along with a team-high 10.9 rebounds. He also racked up 147 assists that season, which was the best mark of his career as well.

After more than doubling most his rookie-year marks in scoring and rebounding in his second NBA season with Orlando, Vucevic was poised to take another leap forward. While retaining his starting role, Vucevic once again turned heads by putting up 30 points and 21 rebounds in the fifth game of the year against the Clippers. Through the first 17 games of the year, Vucevic put up 14.7 points and 10.9 rebounds. That momentum took a slight hit when he missed four games due to an ankle injury, but he returned Dec. 11 and put up double-doubles in three of the next four games. Vucevic averaged a double-double with 11.3 points and 11.5 rebounds through 10 December games. The injury bug bit again in January, however, as Vucevic only appeared in three games that month due to another ankle injury and a concussion. Upon returning, he reached double figures in 20 consecutive games. Another highlight was a March 28 overtime win over Charlotte, when Vucevic dominated down the stretch and recorded 24 points and 23 rebounds. His season was cut short due to Achilles trouble, however, as he missed the last seven games. When it was all said and done, Vucevic had a new career-best scoring total of 14.2 ppg, accumulated over 57 games (all starts).

After limited run in the 2012 NBA Playoffs, Vucevic was dealt to the Magic over the summer of 2012 in a four-team mega-deal that ended with the Sixers acquiring Andrew Bynum. Vucevic immediately became an impact player with Orlando, earning a starting job through stellar exhibition play. In the second game of the regular season, Nov. 4 against Phoenix, Vucevic recorded a double-double with 18 points and 13 rebounds. He ended up recorded four more double-doubles on the month and 46 for the season. His first career 20-point game happened on New Year's Eve against the Heat, where he also corralled 29 rebounds -- a new franchise record. That started a streak of 17 consecutive games in double figures. Vucevic set a new career high with 25 points on Mar. 6 against the Heat, adding 21 rebounds for his second career 20-20 game. He then recorded a double-double in each of the last nine games of the year. That included a new career-high of 30 points scored on Apr. 10 against the Bucks. Through 77 games (all starts), Vucevic led the Magic in rebounds per game (11.9) and was sixth in points per game (13.1).

Vucevic was selected by the Philadelphia 76ers in the 1st round (16th pick) of the 2011 NBA Draft. He remained in Europe for the start of the year, playing with KK Buducnost Podgorica in the Adriatic League. After an impressive run of play overseas, Vucevic signed his rookie deal with the Sixers on Dec. 10. He made his NBA debut Dec. 28, logging six points, six rebounds and two assists in 20 minutes off the bench at Phoenix. Vucevic made his first career start Jan. 18 against the Nuggets in favor of an injured Spencer Hawes (Achilles). He put up two points in that effort, but in his third of three consecutive starts, set a career high with 13 points. Vucevic had an impressive stretch in February, which included a career-high of 18 points Feb. 22 against Houston. On Mar. 7, he recorded his first career double-double with 14 points and 12 rebounds against the Celtics. Vucevic carried that momentum into seven more April starts. The Sixers ended up playing 13 playoff games before getting eliminated by the Celtics. Vucevic appeared in one postseason game, logging three minute in Game 3 against Boston.
