From a video tribute to sharing the night with his family to offering Wendell Carter Jr. words of encouragement, Friday night was an emotional one for Nikola Vucevic.
He savored it—and a Bulls’ victory.

Nikola Vucevic sought out Wendell Carter Jr. postgame. Said he offered words of encouragement and praised him for working hard on his game: “I always liked his game even before when he was with the Bulls. I think he has a special future.” – 10:16 PM

Wendell Carter Jr. was a -2 in 30 minutes. The Magic were outscored by 33 in the 18 minutes he sat. – 9:33 PM

Derrick Jones Jr. barely notches 10 minutes on the court before fouling out. He was noticeably outsized in that matchup with Wendell Carter, Jr. and gambled too much in the timing of his challenges when he got beat around the rim. – 8:45 PM

Wendell Carter Jr. is the only Magic player with a pulse. Orlando fortunate to only be down 9 at halftime. Chicago’s 16-0 run to start the second quarter may be decisive. – 8:08 PM

Wendell Carter always wanted to be a four. He told the old front office that and the coaching staff. They ignored it. – 7:22 PM

Wendell Carter Jr. has 8 points, 3 rebounds and a block in first six minutes. Buried two 3-pointers and got Vucevic in air with another shot fake from behind arc, which led to driving dunk
He had 19-12 with 4 ast, two steals and a block in his first game against Bulls with Magic – 7:21 PM

Wendell Carter Jr. stepping into trail 3-pointer on the break a possession after pump-faking and dunking. Wow. – 7:19 PM

Random Fact: In their first meeting after the trade last season in Chicago, Wendell Carter Jr. and Nikola Vucevic were the first two players to score. The same thing occurred in tonight’s meeting in Orlando. Per the mind of @Josh_Cohen_NBA. – 7:13 PM

Orlando is 4-15, but this will be an interesting matchup for #Bulls and their small front line. Magic start 6-10 Wendell Carter, 6-10 Franz Wagner and 7-0 Mo Bamba. Homecoming for Vucevic, obviously. – 6:23 PM

Caught up with Wendell Carter Jr., who is clearly in a good place mentally for reasons beyond his 40% 3-point shooting.

Wendell Carter Jr. said he definitely feels extra emotion facing the Bulls tonight. Said the trade initially surprised him but he also will be “forever grateful” to organization for drafting him. – 11:47 AM
