Andrew Nicholson returned to the lineup from an ankle injury on Friday, scoring 14 points with five boards, one assist and one steal in 28 minutes.
He has been a mess for most of the season and his defense certainly needs work. Nicholson has been given ample opportunity for most of the season and has squandered it for the most part and he'll be in a timeshare with Kyle O'Quinn at best while Nikola Vucevic (concussion) is on the mend.

Andrew Nicholson (ankle) will be available to play Friday night against the Wizards.
Nicholson was hurt Monday and missed Wednesday's game. He'll return in a bench role behind the suddenly unstoppable Tobias Harris, but Nicholson should see some more minutes than usual with Nikola Pekovic (concussion) unable to go.

Andrew Nicholson (ankle) did not travel to Charlotte and will not play on Wednesday.
Nicholson left Monday's game with a sprained ankle and did not return, so the Magic will rely even more on Tobias Harris, Moe Harkless and Kyle O'Quinn down low with Nikola Vucevic (concussion) also out.

Andrew Nicholson suffered a left ankle sprain in the first half of Monday's game and is doubtful to return.
The Magic are running out of bodies with Nikola Vucevic out of the lineup and Kyle O'Quinn will have to fill an even bigger void. Al Harrington will also get more playing time. Nicholson has been a disaster on defense this year and shouldn't be owned in most leagues.

Andrew Nicholson had 14 points and three rebounds in 19 minutes off the bench on Wednesday.
He had eight points in 16 minutes of garbage time the night before and the Magic cleared the bench in this one, as well. Nicholson is worth keeping an eye on going forward, but we doubt he'll be this productive on most nights.

Andrew Nicholson saw 16 minutes of garbage time in an ugly loss to the Pacers on Tuesday, finishing with eight points, two rebounds and two blocks.
Nicholson, who has been dealing with an illness, had played just two minutes over his previous four games, so unless the Magic are ready to give him a steady role going forward, he has no fantasy value right now. His illness aside, he's fallen out of the rotation due to the strong play of Nikola Vucevic, Moe Harkless and Tobias Harris.

Andrew Nicholson (illness) is questionable to play on Tuesday.
Nicholson was on the Magic bench on Sunday but didn't play, but he's had a couple of days to recover so it's possible he gets back in there against the Pacers.

Andrew Nicholson (illness) didn't leave the Magic bench on Sunday.
He was iffy to play after skipping Saturday's practice, and his declining role off the bench should have ensured that he wasn't in active lineups. There's a good chance that he'll be healthy enough to play vs. the Pacers on Tuesday.

Andrew Nicholson (illness) did not practice on Saturday and is questionable for Sunday.
He has a stomach bug, but that hasn't been why he's only played a grand total of two minutes in the past three games. Tobias Harris is running away with the power forward job and logged 40 minutes on Friday. Nicholson having himself a nice Summer League hasn't really translated to playing with the big boys and he's got some work to do to be relevant in fantasy leagues.

Andrew Nicholson was a healthy DNP-CD on Sunday.
Nicholson had played at least 20 minutes in every game since early February, and he logged 18 minutes on Friday, but Jacque Vaughn went a different direction against the Sixers tonight. He's likely to rejoin the rotation before long, but this should be the final straw for any fantasy owners still hanging onto him in average leagues.
