Vučević added, however strange the experience may be, he relishes the opportunity to square off with the team he spent the last eight-and-a-half seasons of his NBA career.
"It will be weird to see me in a Bulls jersey and playing against a Magic jersey, but I’m looking forward to it," Vučević said. "Hopefully we can play a good game, get a win, but it will be exciting at the same time for me."
