Nikola Vucevic Injury News & Updates

Vucevic (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Pelicans.

Vucevic was a late addition to the injury report due to right knee soreness and will miss his first game of the season. His next opportunity to play will come Friday against the Hornets. With the veteran center sidelined, Jalen Smith is likely to enter the starting five, while Patrick Williams and Noa Essengue are candidates for increased playing time.

Vucevic is questionable for Monday's game against the Pelicans with right knee soreness.

Vucevic was a very late addition to the injury report. The questionable tag suggests that he's day-to-day, but the Bulls may opt for caution since the team is off for a few days following Monday's game.

Vucevic generated 27 points (11-19 FG, 5-9 3Pt), eight rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block across 34 minutes of Wednesday's 122-121 win over the Trail Blazers.

With the Bulls trailing by two, Vucevic caught a pass on the left wing from Coby White and knocked down a three-pointer at the buzzer. The shot marked Vucevic's fifth made three-pointer of the night, setting a season high in the category. He fell one point shy of tying his season high as well. In 14 appearances this season, Vucevic is averaging 16.6 points, 9.9 rebounds and 3.6 assists across 31.6 minutes.

Vucevic finished with 21 points (8-17 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists and three blocks over 41 minutes during Sunday's 150-147 double-overtime loss to Utah.

Vucevic reached the 20-point mark for the first time since Oct. 31, when he recorded 26 points in a win over the Knicks, and he also notched his sixth double-double of the campaign. The return of Coby White should take some offensive touches away from the Vucevic, but the veteran big man has proven to produce enough to remain a valuable option to roster across all formats. Vucevic is averaging 16.5 points, 10.2 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game this season.

Vucevic notched six points (3-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt), six rebounds and three assists in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 124-113 loss to the Pistons.

Vucevic continues to struggle on the offensive end, having now shot under 40 percent from the floor in three straight games. After a hot start to the season, his overall production has regressed, averaging 10.5 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.5 assists over his past four appearances. He should be able to turn things around sooner rather than later, with his next opportunity coming on Sunday against the Jazz.

Vucevic logged 11 points (4-14 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT), eight rebounds and six assists across 29 minutes during Monday's 121-117 loss to the Spurs.

Vucevic has had a blistering start to the season in all categories but has cooled down in recent games, averaging just 10.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.0 steals in his last two appearances despite averaging 18.9 points, 11.3 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.4 blocks in his first eight. Vucevic will look to get back on track Wednesday against the Pistons.

Vucevic produced 19 points (8-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, one steal and one block in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 113-111 win over Philadelphia.

Vucevic continues to anchor Chicago's frontcourt, posting a double-double for the fifth time in seven appearances this season. The big man is as consistent as they come at the center position, and he's been meshing well with Josh Giddey of late, with both players managing to produce at a high level. Expect Vucevic to remain a reliable provider of points and rebounds as long as he remains with the Bulls.

Vucevic contributed 13 points (5-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 14 rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 126-113 win over the Kings.

Vucevic provides a steady source of points and rebounds year after year. He's notched a double-double in all but one game this season. The Chicago big man is also showing flashes of improvement as a passer. He followed up a nine-assist outing with seven more helpers Wednesday.

Vucevic closed Monday's 128-123 win over the Hawks with 17 points (7-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 17 rebounds, nine assists and two steals over 34 minutes.

Another night, another big-time double-double for the man from Montenegro. The 35-year-old big man is off to yet another solid start this season, posting averages of 20.0 points, 13.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 2.0 triples and 1.0 steals per contest on 64/55/100 shooting splits. The shooting percentages aren't sustainable, but as long as Vucevic remains in Chicago, he'll be racking up the points and boards as the focal point of the Bulls' offensive attack.

Vucevic totaled 15 points (5-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one block across 31 minutes during Saturday's 110-98 win over the Magic.

Vucevic had a smaller offensive role Saturday, attempting just seven shots to tie for fifth most on the team, but he maximized his opportunities with efficient shooting, including perfect marks from three-point range and the charity stripe. The veteran center remains one of the league's most dependable producers, having averaged a double-double in seven consecutive seasons entering this year and 11 times across his career overall.

Vucevic contributed 28 points (11-18 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 115-111 victory over the Pistons.

Vucevic was dominant right out of the gate, as he comfortably led the Bulls in shot attempts while rocking a near 25.0 percent usage rate. Vucevic, who turns 35 on Friday, has seen his name in the rumor mill for several months as he's on an expiring contract. But for the time being, he seems focused on the task at hand, leading the Bulls to an Opening Night win against an improved Detroit side.

Vucevic was held to six points (3-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 0-2 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one turnover across 24 minutes in Sunday's preseason loss to Milwaukee.

Vucevic couldn't get anything to drop Sunday evening, missing all four of his 3-point attempts and both of his freebies at the line. He's been quiet through the preseason thus far, but perhaps the 34-year-old vet will be able to turn in a more productive performance Tuesday in Denver.

Vucevic, after being left off Chicago's initial starting lineup, is part of the first unit for Sunday's preseason game against Milwaukee, Joel Lorenzi of The Athletic reports.

Correcting a previous report, Vucevic will fill his typical starting center spot Sunday. The veteran big man was rested in the Bulls' previous preseason game. Josh Giddey, Tre Jones, Isaac Okoro and Matas Buzelis make up the rest of the first five.

Vucevic isn't part of the starting lineup for Sunday's preseason game against Milwaukee.

Vucevic was rested in Chicago's previous preseason tilt but is available to play Sunday. However, the veteran center isn't part of the starting lineup, which could indicate he'll see limited action. Vucevic has come off the bench in just three regular-season games across four-plus years with the Bulls.

Vucevic (rest) will be back in the lineup for Sunday's preseason game against the Bucks, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.

After sitting out Thursday's preseason game against the Cavaliers, Vucevic has the green light for this exhibition. The Bulls have two more preseason contests following Sunday's game.

Vucevic (rest) has been ruled out for Thursday's preseason game against the Cavaliers, Joel Lorenzi of The Athletic reports.

Vucevic will be sidelined for this preseason matchup due to rest purposes. The team will likely turn to Zach Collins and Jalen Smith to shoulder the load in the frontcourt.

Vucevic racked up 15 points (7-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt), 12 rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and one steal in 28 minutes during Friday's 119-89 victory over Washington.

Vucevic has now recorded eight assists in back-to-back games, narrowly missing out on his second and third triple-double of the season. After shooting just 29.4 percent from behind the arc last season, the veteran big man is converting 40.3 percent of his 4.4 three-point attempts per contest in 2024-25.

Vucevic provided 20 points (9-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt), 11 rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 119-111 win over the Heat.

Josh Giddey stole the show with his impressive triple-double in this win over the Heat, but Vucevic's performance can't go overlooked. The big man, who was returning after not playing in Tuesday's loss to the Hornets due to a calf problem, finished just two assists away from recording a triple-double of his own. Vucevic is ending the season on a strong note, scoring in double digits and grabbing at least eight boards in his last 10 games. He's averaging 18.8 points, 10.3 rebounds and 4.5 assists per contest while racking up six double-doubles over that stretch.

Vucevic (calf) is available for Wednesday's game against Miami, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.

Vucevic didn't play in Tuesday's loss to the Cavaliers while managing a right calf issue, but he'll play in the second leg of the Bulls' back-to-back set Wednesday. The veteran center has averaged 19.2 points, 9.8 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.0 blocks in 29.1 minutes per game over his last 10 outings while shooting 55.4 percent from the field and 47.7 percent from three.

Vucevic (calf) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Heat.

Vucevic was given the night off Tuesday against the Cavaliers for injury maintenance, but he's expected to see his usual allotment of minutes Wednesday. Jalen Smith started Tuesday's game in Vucevic's place, but he's now questionable to face the Heat due to an ankle sprain.

Vucevic (calf) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers.

Vucevic is dealing with a soreness in his right calf, which will keep him sidelined in Cleveland on Tuesday. The Bulls will likely turn to Zach Collins to help shoulder the load in the frontcourt.

Vucevic is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers for injury management.

Tuesday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, so fantasy managers can anticipate at least one maintenance day here. If and when Vucevic does get a night off, Zach Collins could offer plenty of fantasy appeal as a streaming option.

Vucevic totaled 31 points (13-22 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 33 minutes during Friday's 118-113 win over the Trail Blazers.

The double-double was Vucevic's 42nd of the season, while the 31 points represented his best offensive performance since the veteran center lit up the Hornets for 40 on Jan. 17. Vucevic is averaging 18.3 points, 9.5 boards, 3.8 assists, 2.2 threes and 1.0 blocks over 11 games since returning from a calf injury and reclaiming something close to his usual workload, but with the Bulls locked into the Play-In Tournament, he could get some extra rest to close out the regular season.

Vucevic posted 22 points (9-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists and one block across 25 minutes during Tuesday's 137-118 victory over Toronto.

Vucevic finished Tuesday's game as the Bulls' third-leading scorer behind Coby White (28) and Talen Horton-Tucker (27). Vucevic logged his fifth double-double since returning from a calf injury March 10, and he was three assists shy from registering his second triple-double of the season. He has averaged 17.0 points on 51.5 percent shooting, 9.2 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 0.9 blocks over 28.5 minutes per game over his last 10 outings.

Vucevic finished Thursday's 119-117 win over the Lakers with 14 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 32 minutes.

Vucevic shook off a questionable tag due to a right midback strain Thursday, appearing in his ninth consecutive contest following a seven-game absence due to a calf injury. The big man posted double-digit points for a seventh straight matchup, and he also racked up multiple blocks for the 10th time over 65 regular-season appearances. Over his last five outings, Vucevic has averaged 17.4 points, 9.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 2.4 three-pointers and 1.2 blocks across 29.8 minutes per contest.

Vucevic (back) is available for Thursday's game against the Lakers, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.

Vucevic will shake off a questionable tag due to a right midback strain Thursday. The veteran big man has made eight consecutive appearances (seven starts) following a seven-game absence due to a calf injury, averaging 14.5 points, 8.9 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.1 three-pointers across 28.0 minutes per contest.

Vucevic is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Lakers due to a right midback strain.

Vucevic missed seven games spanning across February and March due to a left calf strain. He's managed to play in the Bulls' last eight contests (including seven starts), and over that span he has averaged 14.5 points, 8.9 rebounds and 3.5 assist over 28.0 minutes. It appears that Vucevic is working through a new issue, and if were unable to play Thursday, Jalen Smith and Zach Collins would be the top candidates to take the starting center spot in the Bulls' lineup.

Vucevic ended with 24 points (9-14 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 14 rebounds and eight assists in 32 minutes during Thursday's 128-116 victory over the Kings.

Vucevic stuffed the stat sheet en route to his 39th outing with a double-double or better across 62 regular-season appearances. The big man posted game-high marks in rebounds and assists, and he also finished as the Bulls' third-leading scorer behind Coby White (35 points) and Kevin Huerter (25 points). Vucevic has made six appearances (five starts) since returning from a seven-game absence due to a calf injury, during which he has averaged 15.2 points, 8.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.3 three-pointers across 28.2 minutes per contest.

Vucevic provided 24 points (10-17 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 0-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists and three blocks across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 127-121 loss to the Suns.

Vucevic has managed double-digit rebounds in only two of his last five games since returning from a seven-game absence, but he was able to bounce back as a scorer after tepid results over the same period. Vucevic is a regular double-double threat, but his calf injury may still be a lingering problem.

Vucevic produced seven points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and three assists in 23 minutes during Thursday's 116-110 win over the Nets.

Vucevic was making his first start since Feb. 22, but he didn't deliver the stat line many fantasy managers would've expected out of him. The veteran struggled to make an impact on both ends of the court and posted a relatively pedestrian line across his 23 minutes of action. Vucevic should remain in the starting lineup going forward, though, so managers who still trust him can be confident that his numbers might improve in the coming games.

Vucevic is starting Thursday's game against the Nets.

Vucevic will return to his usual starting role Thursday after coming off the bench in his first game from a calf injury Monday, but he'll be held between 28-to-30 minutes, per his head coach. Zach Collins is moving back to the bench with Vucevic back running with the starters.

Head coach Billy Donovan said Vucevic has been cleared to play 28-to-30 minutes against the Nets on Thursday, Cody Westerlund of 670TheScore.com reports.

Vucevic returned Monday from a seven-game absence due to a calf injury, and he finished with 11 points, 11 rebounds and one assist over 24 minutes in a 121-103 win over the Pacers. He came off the bench in that contest, and it's not yet known whether he'll rejoin the Bulls' starting five for Thursday's bout.

Head coach Billy Donovan said after Monday's 121-103 win over the Pacers that Vucevic (calf) will "eventually" return to the starting lineup, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports. He posted 11 points (5-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt), 11 rebounds and one assist across 24 minutes off the bench.

Vucevic came off the bench during his return from a seven-game absence streak due to a calf injury, recording his 37th outing with a double-double or better over 57 regular-season appearances. The star big man will likely continue to operate under a minutes restriction as the club ramps him back up to playing form slowly, meaning Zach Collins should continue to receive the starting nod.

Vucevic will come off the bench in Monday's game against Indiana.

Vucevic is set to return from a seven-game absence streak due to a calf injury, though he'll operate under a minutes restriction of 26 to 28 minutes off the bench, per K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network. The veteran big man has averaged 15.2 points, 9.0 rebounds and 1.8 assists across 30.8 minutes per game in his last five outings.

Vucevic (calf) said he will play Monday against the Pacers, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.

Vucevic, who has missed the past seven games for Chicago, will shake off his questionable tag and will return to action Monday. However, it should be noted that the Bulls could ease him back into action with restrictions. With this news, the fantasy appeal of Zach Collins and Jalen Smith takes a hit.

Vucevic (calf) is questionable for Monday's game against the Pacers.

Vucevic has missed seven straight games due to a right calf strain but may return to action Monday. If cleared, the big man may face some limitations given his extended absence. Jalen Smith and Zach Collins have been playing increased roles in Vucevic's absence.

Vucevic (calf) has been listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Heat.

Vucevic will likely miss a seventh consecutive game for the Bulls while nursing a right calf strain. Chicago will probably look to Jalen Smith and Zach Collins to pick up the slack in the frontcourt if the veteran big man is ruled out in Miami.

Vucevic (calf) will not play Thursday against the Magic.

Vucevic, who was previously listed as doubtful, will sit out his sixth straight game. Vucevic previously said he was hopeful to return during this two-game road trip, so a return against the Heat on Saturday could be on the table.

Vucevic (calf) has been listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Magic.

Vucevic is trending toward missing a sixth straight game for the Bulls while nursing a strained left calf. With the veteran big man likely missing this game in Orlando, Chicago will likely continue to lean on Zach Collins and Jalen Smith to shoulder the load in the frontcourt.

Vucevic (calf) said that he's hopeful to return to action for the Bulls during the team's two-game road trip in Florida that begins Thursday in Orlando, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.

A right calf strain kept Vucevic sidelined for a fourth straight game in Sunday's 127-112 loss to the Pacers, and the veteran center is seemingly already ruling himself out for the Bulls' next game Tuesday versus the Cavaliers in Chicago. However, if Vucevic is able to resume ramping up his activity during the upcoming week without any complications, he could be back in action for the first game of the road trip in Orlando and/or during Saturday's game in Miami. Zach Collins and Jalen Smith will continue to hold down the fort at center for Chicago until Vucevic is ready to play again.

Vucevic (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pacers.

Vucevic will miss a fourth straight game Sunday for the Bulls, as he continues to deal with a right calf strain. Jalen Smith and Zach Collins will likely see more time on the floor due to the absence of the veteran big man.

Vucevic (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Toronto, Cody Westerlund of 670TheScore.com reports.

Vucevic is set to miss a third straight game due to a right calf strain. He's been listed as doubtful for the Bulls' last two games, and it's unclear whether he's progressed enough in his recovery to have a better chance at returning Sunday against the Pacers. The good news for Chicago is that Jalen Smith has cleared the league's concussion protocol and will return Friday. Smith and Zach Collins should see plenty of playing time at the five due to Vucevic's absence.

Vucevic is doubtful for Friday's game against the Raptors with a right calf strain.

Vucevic is unlikely to return from a two-game absence Friday. If the star big man is ultimately ruled out as expected, his next chance to return would come Sunday against the Pacers. Jalen Smith remains in the concussion protocol, so Zach Collins could stay in Chicago's starting lineup with a clear pathway to the center minutes.

Vucevic (calf) will not play Wednesday against the Clippers.

No surprise here, as Vucevic was carrying a doubtful tag prior to this update. With Vucevic out for a second straight contest, Zach Collins and Matas Buzelis will look to hold down the fort in the frontcourt for Chicago.

Vucevic (calf) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Clippers.

After missing Monday's win over the 76ers, Vucevic is not expected to return from right calf tightness Wednesday. With Jalen Smith out with a concussion against Los Angeles, the probable Zach Collins (shin) appears to be set to make another spot start at center after joining the first unit Monday.

Vucevic (calf) is out for Monday's game against the 76ers.

Vucevic was initially listed as probable for Monday's contest, but the big man will end up missing the contest altogether due to tightness in his right calf. This means Zach Collins will likely start at center, while Vucevic's next chance to return will come against the Clippers on Wednesday.

Vucevic is probable for Monday's game against the 76ers with right calf tightness.

Vucevic played through this right calf issue Saturday against the Suns, finishing with 16 points, 11 rebounds, one assist and two three-pointers in 30 minutes. For now, the expectation is that the veteran center will continue to push through the pain for Chicago.

Vucevic (calf) is available for Saturday's game versus the Suns.

Vucevic has been upgraded from probable to available Saturday despite dealing with right calf soreness. Vucevic has struggled with his outside shot as of late, converting just 29.5 percent of his 4.4 three-point attempts per contest across his last 10 appearances.

Vucevic is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Suns due to right calf soreness.

Vucevic has missed only one outing this season and is expected to play while he deals with calf soreness. Over his last five games, the big man has averaged 14.0 points, 8.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists across 31.0 minutes per contest. If Vucevic is sidelined, the Bulls will have to rely on Zach Collins at center with Jalen Smith (concussion) on the shelf.

Vucevic finished with 21 points (9-21 FG, 3-5 3Pt), nine rebounds, one assist and one block across 36 minutes during Thursday's 113-111 overtime loss to the Knicks.

Vucevic posted 21 points in the Bulls' last game before the All-Star break and repeated that output in this contest as well. The big man wasn't traded before the Feb. 6 deadline, but that means Vucevic will remain a reliable offensive force for the Bulls, although he's not expected to contribute much outside of points and rebounds. He's averaging 14.6 points, 9.1 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.6 blocks per game since the beginning of February.

Vucevic (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Pistons.

As expected, Vucevic has been upgraded from probable to available and will suit up for Chicago's final game before the All-Star break. In February (five games), Vucevic has averaged 12.0 points, 8.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.0 steals in 30.8 minutes per game.

Vucevic (ankle) has been listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Pistons.

Vucevic has popped up on the Bulls' injury report for Wednesday's game against the Pistons. The veteran big man is dealing with a left ankle sprain but will likely play against Detroit. The 34-year-old is averaging 19.1 points, 10.2 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game for Chicago this season.

Vucevic ended with eight points (4-15 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one block across 25 minutes during Tuesday's 132-92 loss to the Pistons.

It was a night to forget for Vucevic and the rest of his teammates, delivering their worst effort of the season. After a red-hot start to the season, Vucevic has cooled down of late, scoring no more than 12 points in each of the past four games. To this point, his role has been relatively secure. However, should the Bulls opt to lean into their mediocrity, there is a chance he could be limited down the stretch.

Vucevic amassed 12 points (5-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Tuesday's 133-124 victory over the Heat.

While it was hardly his best performance, Vucevic still produced his 33rd double-double of the season, putting him fifth in the NBA and 10 behind leader Domantas Sabonis. With Zach LaVine having been dealt to the Kings, Vucevic could be the next veteran the Bulls will ship out before Thursday's trade deadline, and there's no guarantee he would see the same usage on a roster that features more ball-dominant players than Chicago currently has.

Vucevic posted 20 points (8-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt), 10 rebounds, 10 assists, two blocks and one steal over 36 minutes during Sunday's 127-119 loss to Detroit.

Vucevic did it all for Chicago in Sunday's contest, leading all players in assists and blocks while finishing second on the team in scoring and rebounds in a triple-double performance. Vucevic posted his first triple-double of the year while setting a new season-high assist mark. Vucevic has recorded at least 20 points and 10 boards in 17 outings, including in four of his last five appearances.

Vucevic posted 21 points (7-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Friday's 122-106 win over the Raptors.

Vucevic bounced back from the ugly six-point effort he delivered in the loss to Boston on Wednesday, and he notched a double-double for the third time over his last four contests. The veteran big man has seven double-doubles over his last 19 outings, a span in which he's averaging 18.5 points, 11.4 rebounds and 3.9 assists per contest.

Vucevic totaled six points (3-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt), 11 rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 122-100 loss to the Celtics.

Vucevic is having a solid season for the Bulls but couldn't get it going Wednesday in the loss to the defending NBA champions. The veteran big man scored a season-low six points against Boston, going 3-for-9 from the floor and failing to hit any of his three attempts from beyond the arc. This could be a fluke shooting performance for the 34-year-old, considering he's averaging a career-high 54.6 percent from the field this season for Chicago.

Vucevic logged 22 points (8-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal over 34 minutes during Saturday's 109-97 loss to the 76ers.

Zach LaVine and Vucevic carried Chicago offensively in this 12-point loss, as they combined for 47 of the team's total 94-point haul. Vucevic had been experiencing some struggles in recent weeks, but the big man remains a capable offensive weapon, and he should remain a steady fantasy option across all formats. Even though Vucevic is often criticized for his inability to protect the rim, his stats have been very good of late. Over his last five outings, he's averaging 20.4 points, 10.0 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 2.4 steals and 1.0 blocks per game.

Vucevic totaled nine points (4-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt), six rebounds, four assists and four steals over 30 minutes during Thursday's 131-106 loss to the Warriors.

Vucevic didn't have his best scoring performance, and he tied his season-low scoring output in this defeat, but he still provided value due to his contributions in other areas, as he finished with at least four tallies in four of the five major categories. That said, Vucevic's most significant impact comes from his offensive game, so he won't carry a lot of upside if his scoring numbers remain subpar, as he's scored 17 of fewer points in four of his last five appearances.

Vucevic recorded 17 points (6-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds, seven assists, one block and three steals over 35 minutes during Sunday's 113-102 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Vucevic was coming off a 40-point double-double in the loss to the Hornets on Friday, and while he couldn't post the same scoring line, he was able to leave his mark on both ends of the court. This was his fourth straight double-double, and he's achieved that feat in eight of his 10 outings in January. During that stretch, Vucevic is averaging 20.2 points, 11.9 rebounds and 3.8 assists per contest.

Vucevic notched 40 points (17-25 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Friday's 125-123 loss to Charlotte.

Vucevic was the catalyst in a dramatic fourth-quarter rally that out the Bulls within striking distance, but his 19 points and four rebounds in the final stanza came up just short after missing a three-pointer with seconds remaining. Vucevic's season-high 40 points were rarified air for the big man, as he's broken the 30-point barrier only three times this season. His rebound totals are still at an elite level, and his 10.4 per-game average places him 10th in the league and fourth overall in the Eastern Conference.

Vucevic provided 22 points (10-16 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 15 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 35 minutes during Tuesday's 119-113 loss to the Pelicans.

It was the 25th double-double of the season for the veteran center, tying him for sixth in the NBA. Vucevic's shooting has been a little erratic of late, but over his last 14 games he's still averaging 18.9 points, 11.0 boards, 3.4 assists and 1.7 threes. If the Bulls totally clean house ahead of the February trade deadline, Vucevic figures to be one of the prime trade assets they have.

Vucevic provided 23 points (9-12 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 13 rebounds, six assists and one block across 27 minutes during Friday's 138-105 win over the Wizards.

Vucevic bounced back from the 10-point, seven-rebound effort he delivered against the Pacers on Wednesday, and the big man extended his productive stretch to nine double-doubles over his last 11 appearances. Vucevic is having a bounce-back season on the offensive side of the ball, and his 20.1 points per game represent his best output since the 2020-21 campaign, when he was traded from Orlando to Chicago. He's also averaging a double-double for a seventh straight campaign.

Vucevic posted 24 points (10-22 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Monday's 114-110 win over the Spurs.

The double-double was his fifth straight and 23rd of the season in 35 appearances, putting him eighth in the league in that category.

Vucevic ended with 12 points (5-17 FG, 2-9 3Pt), 13 rebounds and six assists over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 125-107 loss to Washington.

Vucevic had a rough shooting performance, and the Bulls struggled as a whole in this 18-point defeat, but the big man at least found a way to finish with another double-double. Shooting woes aside, this was Vucevic's sixth double-double over his last seven appearances, and he remains a consistent presence down low for the Bulls. He's averaging 17.4 points, 11.9 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 0.9 steals per game over that seven-game span.

Vucevic closed Saturday's 116-111 win over the Bucks with 23 points (10-24 FG, 3-7 3Pt), 13 rebounds, five assists and one steal in 38 minutes.

Vucevic led the Bulls in rebounding Saturday and co-led in scoring with Josh Giddey. It was Vucevic's 19th double-double of the regular season, four of which have come over his last five games. For the month of December, Vucevic has averaged 20.4 points on 56.4 percent shooting, 9.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.1 steals over 32.5 minutes per game.

Vucevic chipped in 17 points (7-16 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Monday's 112-91 loss to Milwaukee.

That's now 18 double-doubles in 29 appearances for Vucevic this season, and the veteran big man continues to push for the third All-Star nod of his career in 2024-25. Over his last nine games, Vucevic has averaged 21.6 points, 9.7 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 0.9 blocks and 2.3 three-pointers and is shooting 59.4 percent from the field during this stretch. He'll look to keep the good times rolling in Thursday's soft matchup against the Hawks, who rank 27th in the NBA in points per game allowed (119.0).

Vucevic accumulated 19 points (8-19 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Saturday's 123-98 loss to Boston.

It's the second straight double-double for Vucevic, and his 17th of the season in 28 games. The veteran center has kept his potential trade value high, scoring in double digits in 14 straight appearances and averaging 21.6 points, 9.8 boards, 3.4 assists, 2.4 threes, 0.9 steals and 0.9 blocks over that stretch while shooting 57.5 percent from the floor and 47.9 percent (34-for-71) from beyond the arc.

Vucevic racked up 16 points (7-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt), 14 rebounds, four assists and one block across 33 minutes during Thursday's 117-108 win over the Celtics.

Vucevic notched his 15th double-double of the season Thursday, cleaning the glass for a game-high 14 boards and supplying an efficient 16 points. The 34-year-old star big man has reached double scoring figures in each of his last 13 games, a stretch in which he's averaging 21.8 points, 9.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists 0.9 blocks, 0.8 steals and 2.6 three-pointers per contest. Vucevic has long been a dependable fantasy asset due to his strong production across the board, but he's taken a big leap in efficiency during his 15th season, shooting a career-high 59.2 percent from the field and 48.0 percent from deep in 2024-25.

Vucevic finished Monday's 122-121 win over Toronto with 24 points (10-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 32 minutes.

Vucevic embraced a more significant role on offense Monday since Zach LaVine (back) was sidelined, and the big man responded by posting his 14th appearance with at least 20 points in the current campaign. The veteran big man has been very efficient of late, and he's showing no signs of slowing down. Over his last five appearances, Vucevic is averaging 22.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.2 steals per game while shooting 63.2 percent from the floor in that span.

Vucevic (illness) is available for Monday's game against the Raptors.

As expected, Vucevic has been upgraded from probable to available and will return to action Monday after missing his first game of the season last Friday due to an illness. Over his last five appearances, Vucevic has averaged 23.6 points, 9.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.2 steals in 31.2 minutes per game.

Vucevic (illness) is probable for Monday's game against the Raptors.

Vucevic missed his first game of the season last Friday against the Hornets due to an illness. However, he's expected to return to action Monday. Over his last five appearances, Vucevic has averaged 23.6 points, 9.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.2 steals in 31.2 minutes per game.

Vucevic (illness) is out for Friday's game against the Hornets, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.

Vucevic will miss a game for the first time this season, and his absence means Chicago will probably rely on Jalen Smith to play the bulk of minutes at center. Vucevic has been one of the Bulls' best players in recent weeks, averaging 21.4 points, 9.6 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.1 steals per game across his last 10 contests. If the illness isn't a long-term thing, then he should be in contention to suit up for Monday's game at Toronto.

Vucevic is questionable for Friday's game against the Hornets due to an illness.

Vucevic has yet to miss a game this season, and the questionable tag puts him at risk of sitting out Friday's matchup. Even though Vucevic has gone three straight outings without a double-double, the veteran big man has been one of the Bulls' best players in recent weeks. He's averaging 21.4 points, 9.6 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.1 steals per game across his last 10 contests.

Vucevic recorded 13 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and four steals over 29 minutes during Sunday's 108-100 loss to the 76ers.

Vucevic took the court Sunday despite being banged up with a back injury, going on to lead all Bulls players in rebounds while finishing one of five players with a double-digit point total in a near double-double outing. Vucevic has posted at least 10 points and eight boards in nine straight outings and in all but four contests this season.

Vucevic (back) is available for Sunday's game against the 76ers, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.

As expected, Vucevic has been upgraded from probable to available. He hasn't missed a game this season and has scored in double figures in 10 straight, averaging 23.0 points, 10.0 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.6 steals-plus-blocks in 31.7 minutes per game.

Vucevic (back) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the 76ers, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Vucevic is nursing a lower back issue, but it shouldn't prevent him from playing Sunday. Since and including Nov. 1, Vucevic has averaged 21.6 points on 61.2 percent shooting, 9.5 rebounds and 3.2 assists over 31.4 minutes per contest.

Vucevic ended Thursday's 139-124 victory over the Spurs with 39 points (16-22 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and one steal over 35 minutes.

Vucevic led both teams in scoring Thursday, and his 39 points was his fifth-best scoring output of his NBA career. Vucevic has shot 58.3 percent from the field and 48.2 percent from three-point range over his last 10 outings, and over that span he has averaged 22.6 points, 9.7 rebounds and 3.6 assists over 31.2 minutes per game.

Vucevic closed with 21 points (8-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and one steal over 28 minutes during Monday's 128-102 win over Brooklyn.

Vucevic couldn't repeat the season-high 32-point output he delivered in the loss to Boston on Nov. 29, but at least he managed to extend his streak of double-doubles to four contests. He's reached that mark in six of his last eight appearances, a span in which he's averaging 22.3 points and 10.4 rebounds per contest.

Vucevic had 32 points (11-16 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and one block across 34 minutes during Friday's 138-129 loss to the Celtics.

Vucevic posted his best scoring mark of the season, and he posted a surprising stat line considering he battled with Kristaps Porzingis on both ends of the court all game long. Vucevic also notched his third consecutive double-double, and he's posted five double-doubles over his last seven contests.

Vucevic contributed 19 points (8-20 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds and four assists over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 133-119 loss to the Magic.

Vucevic continues to be one of the most consistent big men in The Association following the first month of the regular season, and he's a threat to record a double-double every time he steps on the hardwood. He's racked up four double-doubles across his last six appearances, a span in which he's averaging 20.8 points and 10.3 boards per game while shooting 52.6 percent from the floor.

Vucevic accumulated 19 points (9-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt), 12 rebounds and four assists in 29 minutes during Tuesday's 127-108 victory over the Wizards.

It's the 12th double-double in 19 games for Vucevic. The veteran center is on his way to another strong season, and he's been locked in of late from beyond the arc. Over the last seven contests, Vucevic is shooting 47.1 percent (16-for-34) from three-point range and 57.1 percent from the floor while averaging 20.0 points, 9.3 boards, 3.3 assists and 1.1 blocks.

Vucevic ended with 19 points (9-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt), 12 rebounds and four assists across 29 minutes during Tuesday's 127-108 win over the Wizards.

The big man finished as the club's second-leading scorer behind Coby White (21) in a dominant victory. Moreover, Vucevic logged his 12th double-double through only 19 regular-season outings. The veteran center came a point shy of his 11th 20-point outing, and he has delivered a stellar season thus far. Vucevic has averaged 20.4 points, 9.8 rebounds. 3.2 assists and 0.9 blocks while shooting 58.4 percent from the field across 31.9 minutes per game. He has also shot an impressive 45.8 percent from beyond the arc.

Vucevic totaled 26 points (9-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one steal over 28 minutes during Saturday's 142-131 loss to the Grizzlies.

Vucevic had another strong showing despite the game's final outcome. The veteran big man finished just two rebounds away from recording what would've been his eighth double-double this month alone. Vucevic has scored at least 20 points in 10 of his 18 appearances this season.

Vucevic had 14 points (6-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt), six rebounds, six assists, one block and three steals over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 122-106 loss to Milwaukee.

The Bulls looked outmatched on both ends of the court Wednesday, and Vucevic didn't escape the team's woes after finishing with more field-goal attempts than points scored. He posted solid numbers in other categories to salvage his fantasy line, but the Bulls need Vucevic to be a reliable scoring weapon on a game-to-game basis. Vucevic is averaging 20.4 points and 9.0 rebounds per game since the beginning of November.

Vucevic produced 29 points (11-18 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and three blocks over 35 minutes during Monday's 122-112 win over the Pistons.

Vucevic bounced back after a sluggish nine-point showing Sunday against the Rockets, though it's worth mentioning he was pulled early in a blowout. He drilled a season-best six triples in Monday's victory and paced his club in scoring and rebounding. The big man has now put up 20-plus points in three of his last five appearances.

Vucevic had nine points (3-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and two assists in 25 minutes during Sunday's 143-107 loss to the Rockets.

The Bulls were run out of the building in this contest, limiting the minutes of all the key players. Vucevic has been outstanding this season with second-round value in nine-category formats, so fantasy managers will not want to overreact to this outlier performance.

Vucevic finished with 25 points (11-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds and two assists across 33 minutes during Friday's 144-126 loss to the Cavaliers.

Vucevic finished Friday's game as the Bulls' second leading scorer behind Coby White (29), and the former was two rebounds shy from registering his 10th double-double of the regular season. Through the first 13 games of the 2024-25 campaign, Vucevic is averaging 21.0 points on 59.9 percent shooting (including 45.3 percent from three on 4.1 3PA/G), 10.0 rebounds and 3.1 assists over 32.5 minutes per game.

Vucevic had 20 points (9-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 35 minutes during Monday's 119-113 loss to the Cavaliers.

Vucevic fell just short of what would've been his fifth double-double across six November appearances. However, the veteran big man continues to play at a high level on both ends of the court for a rebuilding Chicago team. He's averaging 21.3 points, 9.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.0 blocks per game since the calendar flipped to November.

Vucevic closed Saturday's 125-113 victory over the Hawks with 18 points (8-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt), 12 rebounds, one assist and two steals across 31 minutes.

Vucevic came up short from reaching the 20-point mark for the seventh time in the current campaign, but the big man accomplished more than just scoring. This was his eighth double-double in 10 appearances, and the veteran has been one of the best two-way big men in the early stages of the 2024-25 season.

Vucevic racked up 25 points (11-15 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one block across 30 minutes during Thursday's 135-119 loss to the Timberwolves.

Vucevic embraced a bigger role on offense with Zach LaVine (thigh) sidelined, and the big man responded with an excellent performance. This was Vucevic's third game with 20-plus points across his last four outings, and the sixth time he's achieved that feat in his nine contests. Vucevic also has seven double-doubles in that span, and despite his age, he's been one of the most consistent big men in the league over the first two weeks of the regular season.

Vucevic provided 23 points (9-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists, three blocks and one steal across 33 minutes during Monday's 135-126 loss to Utah.

Vucevic has three straight double-doubles and six on the season, including four with at least 20 points. He also notched season-high marks in assists (six) and blocks (three) during Monday's loss. Vucevic has averaged 2.3 made three-pointers per game through seven appearances, which would be his highest mark since 2020-21.

Vucevic closed with 28 points (10-11 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 34 minutes during Friday's 120-112 loss to the Nets.

Despite coming up short against Brooklyn, Vucevic recorded his second of back-to-back double-doubles Saturday. The 34-year-old big man missed just one shot en route to a season-high 28 points. Vuceiv has now recorded five double-doubles in six appearances and has yet to score below 18 points in 2024-25.

Vucevic supplied 18 points (7-16 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 14 rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 102-99 victory over the Magic.

It's the fourth double-double in five games to begin the season for Vucevic. The veteran center hasn't let trade rumors distract him, and his averages of 20.2 points, 11.0 boards, 3.4 assists and 2.2 threes per game only improve his market value should the Bulls elect to move him.

Vucevic delivered 18 points (7-12 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists and a block across 33 minutes in Saturday's 114-95 loss to the Thunder.

Vucevic has been the Bulls' most consistent player in the first week of the 2024-25 regular season, recording a double-double in each of his three outings while shooting an impressive 7-for-13 from three-point range. There's going to be some regression in the efficiency department as the season progresses, but there's no question Vucevic is starting this season on a strong note.

Vucevic had 22 points (7-17 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds and four assists over 32 minutes during Friday's 133-122 victory over Milwaukee.

Vucevic didn't have his best shooting performance Friday, although, to be fair, it's not easy to score near the rim against a frontcourt of Brook Lopez and Giannis Antetokounmpo. Still, the veteran big man delivered a solid showing and has now opened the season with back-to-back double-doubles. It's a better-than-expected start to the campaign for the 34-year-old veteran, who could have a ton of trade value as the season progresses if he manages to continue producing at this rate in the coming weeks.

Vucevic accumulated 21 points (8-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 11 rebounds and one assist across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 123-111 loss to the Pelicans.

The 34-year-old center got his 14th NBA campaign off to a strong start, taking advantage of the absence of Zion Williamson (illness) from the New Orleans lineup. Vucevic could be the next veteran out the door for the Bulls after DeMar DeRozan was sent to the Kings in the offseason to kick-start a rebuild, but as long as he remains in Chicago, Vucevic should anchor the team's frontcourt and provide his usual plus production on the glass -- he's recorded more than 40 double-doubles in six straight seasons.

Vucevic finished with 18 points (8-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 12 rebounds, six assists, a steal and a block across 27 minutes in Friday's 139-137 preseason win over the Cavaliers.

Vucevic seems ready for the regular-season opener against the Pelicans on Wednesday. The big man figures to play a prominent role on offense for the Bulls and should be the team's second-best option on offense behind Zach LaVine.

Vucevic (rest) is active for Wednesday's preseason game versus Minnesota, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Vucevic returns to action after resting for Monday's preseason game versus the Bucks. Chicago enters Wednesday's contest with a fully healthy frontcourt excluding Julian Phillips (ribs).

Coach Billy Donovan said Vucevic (rest) will not play in Monday's preseason game versus the Bucks, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.

Vucevic won't suit up Monday, though it is expected to be a scheduled day off for the veteran. The 33-year-old's next opportunity to feature during the preseason will come Wednesday against the Timberwolves.

Vucevic scored 12 points (6-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt) while adding 10 rebounds and three assists in 20 minutes during Tuesday's 116-112 preseason win over the Cavaliers.

The 33-year-old center has seen trade rumors swirl around him in training camp, but for now Vucevic remains the veteran anchor of the Bulls' frontcourt. He's averaged a double-double in six straight seasons and 10 of the last 12 dating back to his Orlando days, but his 29.4 percent shooting from three-point range last season was his worst mark since 2015-16, giving him something to work on in camp.

Vucevic notched 16 points (7-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt), 14 rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals over 35 minutes during Friday's 112-91 Play-In Game loss to the Heat.

Vucevic turned in a valiant effort in Friday's elimination game, but the Heat cruised to a big victory with the help of Tyler Herro and Jamie Jaquez. Vucevic was held in check offensively along with the rest of the Chicago squad, as the Bulls were held to 91 points on 38.0 percent shooting from the field. The 33-year-old closed the season with four consecutive double-doubles.

Vucevic notched 24 points (11-21 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds and two assists in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 131-116 Play-In Game victory over the Hawks.

Although Coby White's heroics headlined the game, the most interesting positional battle occurred inside, where Vucevic and Clint Capela went toe-to-toe. Although Capela out-rebounded Vucevic, the Chicago big man displayed his ability to stretch the floor, forcing Capela to play further out. The result was a vulnerable interior defense for the Hawks, and the rest of the team took advantage with productive slashes to the basket. Things won't get any easier for Vucevic in the next game, as he'll face Bam Adebayo in a battle for the eighth seed.

Vucevic closed with 29 points (12-19 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 11 rebounds and three assists over 42 minutes during Sunday's 120-119 overtime loss to the Knicks.

The Bulls were already locked into a Play-In matchup against the Hawks, but that didn't seem to matter, and their starters handled a regular workload, though that translated in them putting up solid numbers across the board. Vucevic was not the exception, as he recorded a double-double for the third time over his last five appearances, meaning he will enter the Play-In matchup against the Hawks on a good run of form and ready for a battle against Clint Capela. Vucevic recorded 44 double-doubles during the regular season.

Vucevic (rest) isn't on the injury report for Sunday's game versus the Knicks.

Vucevic will return to action Sunday after missing Chicago's previous contest for rest purposes. The star big man is averaging 15.9 points, 9.6 rebounds and 3.6 assists in 32.4 minutes across his last 10 appearances.

Vucevic has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Wizards.

As expected, Vucevic has been downgraded from doubtful to out and will join most of Chicago's usual veterans on the sidelines. Two-way players Adama Sanogo and Henri Drell are candidates for increased roles in Chicago's frontcourt, along with Torrey Craig, Javonte Green and Dalen Terry.

Vucevic (rest) has been downgraded to doubtful for Friday's game against the Wizards.

The Bulls have already locked in their seed for the Play-In Tournament and are playing in the second half of a back-to-back set Friday, so it isn't very surprising to see the team downgrade Vucevic from questionable to doubtful. Andre Drummond (ankle) has also been ruled out, so Adama Sanogo, Torrey Craig, Javonte Green and Dalen Terry are candidates to see increased run if Vucevic is officially sidelined.

Vucevic is questionable for Friday's game against Washington due to rest purposes.

Vucevic posted a double-double in 37 minutes of playing time during Thursday's comfortable win over the Pistons, but he could rest in the second half of the back-to-back set. It wouldn't be surprising to see the Bulls exercise caution with Vucevic since the team has already locked in its playoff seed.

Vucevic supplied 27 points (12-21 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals across 37 minutes during Thursday's 127-105 win over the Pistons.

Vucevic registered his 44th double-double of the season Thursday, which ties him with Jalen Duren for seventh most in the NBA. Vucevic entered Thursday's contest shooting 48.0 percent from the field -- four percentage points lower than the 2022-23 season -- and 29.0 percent from three, his lowest mark since 2015-16 with the Magic. He has been more efficient as of late, and since March 1, Vucevic is averaging 17.9 points on 50.2 percent shooting (including 34.6 percent from three), 10.1 rebounds and 3.2 assists over 33.3 minutes per game.

Vucevic supplied 26 points (12-16 FG, 2-3 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and one block over 39 minutes during Tuesday's 128-117 loss to the Knicks.

Vucevic scored at least 20 points for the first time in almost two weeks, playing an expanded role following the early departure of Andre Drummond due to an ankle injury. It was a welcome sight for managers after what has been a rough few games. He remains a must-roster player and should Drummond be forced to miss more time, Vucevic could see a few extra minutes down the stretch.

Vucevic had 22 points (9-20 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 12 rebounds and two assists over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 125-99 victory over the Pacers.

Vucevic's team-high 12 rebounds helped him post his 41st double-double of 2023-24 during Wednesday's blowout win. Despite shooting 28.1 percent from three on the season, Vucevic has seen a slight uptick in his efficiency recently, converting 32.1 percent of his 3.8 three-point attempts across his 14 appearances in March.

Vucevic amassed nine points (3-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 16 rebounds, three assists and three blocks over 30 minutes during Monday's 107-105 loss to Washington.

The 16 boards were his highest total since he pulled down 17 against the Magic on Feb. 10. Vucevic saw his streak of games with double-digit points end at 16 though, as Monday was the first time since the All-Star break he'd failed to put up at least 10 points. Since the ASB, the veteran center has averaged 19.5 points, 10.8 boards, 3.1 assists and 1.2 threes while shooting 51.0 percent from the floor.

Vucevic accumulated 16 points (7-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 14 rebounds, six assists and one block across 39 minutes during Thursday's 127-117 loss to the Rockets.

Vucevic has been on an absolute tear during the current month, as he's enjoying a more prominent role on offense, and his numbers have backed that up. Aside from averaging 19.6 points per game in 11 March outings, he's also recorded seven double-doubles in that span while shooting 50.3 percent from the field. Vucevic should be considered Chicago's second-best option on offense behind DeMar DeRozan during the final weeks of the regular season.

Vucevic notched 22 points (10-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 0-2 FT), nine rebounds, one block and two steals over 35 minutes during Monday's 110-107 win over the Trail Blazers.

The veteran center just missed recording his 40th double-double of the season, which would have marked his third straight campaign reaching that plateau, and the seventh time in his career. Vucevic has been a force in the Chicago frontcourt since the All-Star break, averaging 20.9 points, 10.9 boards, 2.7 assists and 1.4 threes over the last 14 games while shooting 50.6 percent from the floor.

Vucevic racked up 29 points (11-19 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Saturday's 127-98 win over the Wizards.

Vucevic capitalized on an idyllic fantasy matchup against a Washington frontcourt consisting of Richaun homes, Eugene Omoruyi, and Patrick Baldwin. His three-point shooting continues to massively underwhelm, and it's tough to count on him booming consistently without a better stroke from deep, but Saturday proves he can still crush mismatches.

Vucevic finished Saturday's 112-102 loss to the Clippers with 22 points (9-22 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds and two assists across 35 minutes.

Vucevic has registered a double-double in each of his last four games and is up to 37 on the year. The big man has now tallied at least 20 points and 10 rebounds in three straight games. Vucevic is averaging 21.0 points on 48.9 percent shooting (including 42.9 percent from three), 11.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists over 33.5 minute per game in March.

Vucevic closed Thursday's 125-122 victory over the Warriors with 33 points (14-23 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds and five assists over 35 minutes.

Vucevic has been on a tear of late and continues to make a massive impact on both ends of the court for a depleted Chicago team. The veteran big man is benefiting from an uptick in touches and is going through a very productive stretch, racking up seven double-doubles over his last eight appearances while averaging 22.0 points, 11.9 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game in that span.

Vucevic ended with 23 points (11-18 FG, 1-3 3Pt), 12 rebounds and two assists across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 119-117 victory over Utah.

Another game, another double-double for the veteran big man, as he's benefiting enormously from the uptick in touches ever since Zach LaVine went down with a season-ending foot injury back in mid-January. Vucevic is getting closer to the numbers he posted when he was the anchor of the Magic's offense a few seasons ago before getting traded to Chicago. Over his last 15 games, Vucevic has 11 double-doubles while averaging 20.4 points, 11.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 0.9 blocks per game.

Vucevic contributed 10 points (4-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt), 13 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 32 minutes during Monday's 113-109 victory over the Kings.

Although the Kings out-rebounded the Bulls in a losing effort, Vucevic held his own against Domantas Sabonis, who spells trouble for any team's interior defense. Although Sabonis won the rebound battle handily, Vucevic was able to provide enough on the offensive glass to get the ball moving again during key moments. The veteran has recorded double-doubles in five of his last six games.

Vucevic was ejected from Friday's game versus the Bucks due to a flagrant foul on AJ Green. He finished with 17 points (8-18 FG, 1-3 3Pt), nine rebounds, three assists and one turnover in 34 minutes.

Tensions were high during the start of the fourth quarter and Vucevic let his frustrations get the best of him. It was a hard foul, but there's no concern over a possible suspension for his fantasy managers.

Vucevic posted 24 points (10-23 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 13 rebounds, five assists, two blocks and two steals in 40 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 132-123 double-overtime win over Cleveland.

Vucevic recorded his fourth consecutive double-double while reaching that mark for the seventh time across his last eight outings. He's doing more than just scoring points and grabbing rebounds, however, as the extended absence of Zach LaVine (foot) has allowed Vucevic to carve a role similar to the one he had during his Orlando Magic days, where most of the offense was flowing through him. Over that eight-game span, Vucevic is averaging 21.5 points, 12.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 0.8 blocks per contest.

Vucevic closed Tuesday's 105-95 loss to Detroit with 25 points (12-23 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and one block across 37 minutes.

Vucevic has recorded three straight double-doubles, and the veteran big man has now reached that feat in eight of his last 10 appearances. Vucevic has embraced the uptick on offensive touches with Zach LaVine (foot) out, and the numbers back that up. He's averaging 21.8 points, 11.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game since the beginning of February.

Vucevic logged 22 points (10-19 FG, 2-5 3Pt), 13 rebounds, three assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Sunday's 114-106 win over New Orleans.

Vucevic has been impressive in recent weeks, and he has been delivering some of his best performances of the campaign of late, though that's also because he's embraced a bigger role on offense with Zach LaVine (foot) out for the rest of the season. Vucevic has seven double-doubles over his last nine appearances while averaging 21.4 points and 11.4 rebounds per game in that stretch.

Vucevic logged 22 points (10-19 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 14 rebounds and two assists in 35 minutes during Thursday's 129-112 loss to the Celtics.

Vucevic has been playing at a very high level in recent weeks, and he has posted four double-doubles across his last five appearances. Seeing the veteran big man producing at both ends is not surprising, but he's been putting up strong numbers in the scoring column. He's posted 20 or more points in seven of his last eight contests, averaging 21.4 points and shooting 47 percent from the field in that stretch.

Vucevic finished Saturday's 114-108 overtime loss to the Magic with 26 points (12-25 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 17 rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals in 43 minutes.

Vucevic was one of Chicago's top performers Saturday and recorded a double-double for the fourth time over his last five appearances. The veteran big man has also scored 20 or more points in those five outings, and he's making his presence felt on both ends of the court with remarkable consistency. Since returning from injury and recovering his starting role, Vucevic is averaging 19.4 points and 11.4 rebounds per contest across his last 15 appearances.

Vucevic finished with 24 points (10-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Saturday's 123-115 loss to Sacramento.

Vucevic led all Bulls players in rebounds while handing out a trio of assists and ending as one of three players with 20 or more points in a double-double performance. Vucevic tallied his ninth game with at least 24 points while notching his 15th game with at least 20 points and 10 boards.

Vucevic notched 22 points (10-22 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and two blocks in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 117-110 win over Charlotte.

It was Vucevic's 25th double-double of the season in 44 games. The veteran center has been his usual productive self since returning from a groin injury that sidelined him in late December and early January, and over the last 12 contests he's averaged 18.2 points, 11.3 boards, 3.8 assists, 1.1 blocks and 1.1 threes while shooting 52.9 percent from the floor.

Vucevic produced 14 points (5-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals over 36 minutes during Tuesday's 118-107 loss to Toronto.

Vucevic didn't have a prolific performance, but he led the Bulls in rebounds and finished just one board shy of a double-double. The big man recorded five consecutive double-doubles between Jan. 13 and Jan. 22, but he's fallen short of the feat in each of his past three contests. Nonetheless, Vucevic continues to be a reliable fantasy center, recording double-digit points with at least seven boards in each of his 12 games in January.

Vucevic supplied 19 points (9-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt), 17 rebounds and seven assists in 37 minutes during Monday's 115-113 loss to the Suns.

Vucevic's 17 rebounds led all players in the contest and helped him record his fifth straight double-double. The big man has also been shining as a distributor of late, tying his season-high mark with seven assists in two of his past three games. With averages of 16.9 points and 10.7 boards on the campaign, Vucevic appears well on his way to averaging a double-double for the sixth straight season.

Vucevic finished with 24 points (12-20 FG, 0-3 3Pt), 14 rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals across 35 minutes during Thursday's 116-110 win over the Raptors.

The veteran center has started five straight games since fully recovering from a groin injury, and Vucevic has produced double-doubles in four of them including three straight. He's averaging 19.4 points, 12.4 boards, 4.2 assists, 1.0 threes and 1.0 blocks over that stretch while shooting 52.9 percent from the floor. Vucevic's 22 double-doubles on the season ranks him in the top 10 in the league, tied with Luka Doncic for ninth.

Vucevic provided 17 points (8-19 FG, 1-7 3Pt), 10 rebounds and four assists in 37 minutes during Monday's 109-91 loss to the Cavaliers.

Vucevic didn't have his best shooting performance in a game where the entire Chicago offense struggled, but the big man at least recorded another double-double -- his third since returning to the starting lineup and fourth in six appearances since coming back from a groin injury. In his six games back, Vucevic is averaging 17.5 points with 10.8 rebounds per game, and he has recovered the starting center position that was held by Andre Drummond while he was out.

Vucevic totaled 24 points (10-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 16 rebounds, five assists and three blocks over 31 minutes during Saturday's 122-116 victory over San Antonio.

Vucevic feasted on a San Antonio front Court comprised of Jeremy Sochan, Dominick Barlow and and Sandro Mamukelashvili -- additionally evident through Tre Jones being San Antonio's leading rebounder. Vucevic led Chicago in scoring and has now attempted at least 17 shots in three of five contests since returning from a groin strain.

Vucevic closed with 18 points (9-17 FG, 0-5 3Pt), 15 rebounds, three assists and one block in 40 minutes during Wednesday's 124-119 overtime victory over the Rockets.

Vucevic had a strong performance and made his presence felt down low on both ends of the court. Vucevic is always going to find ways to produce as long as he remains in the starting lineup, but perhaps the biggest fantasy downfall of his return to the starting unit means a huge downgrade in Andre Drummond's value. Vucevic is expected to remain as Chicago's starting center when the Bulls take on the Warriors on Friday.

Vucevic will return to the starting lineup Wednesday and won't be on a minutes restriction, Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Since missing five games with a groin injury, Vucevic has come off the bench and played 25 and 30 minutes, respectively, in his two most recent appearances. However, Vucevic is now set to replace Andre Drummond in the starting lineup and play closer to his average of 33.6 minutes per contest.

Vucevic amassed 21 points (10-18 FG, 1-3 3Pt), 10 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 30 minutes off the bench during Monday's 119-112 overtime win over the Hornets.

In his second game back from a groin injury, Vucevic played more minutes than starting center Andre Drummond, but both big men delivered 20-10 performances. Drummond was a revelation during Vucevic's five-game absence, and while the latter should eventually regain his starting role, Bulls coach Billy Donovan is likely to do everything he can to keep both players productive, which could mean a slightly reduced workload for Vucevic.

Vucevic (groin) has been upgraded to available and will play Monday against the Hornets.

Vucevic came off the bench in his first game back from injury, and it appears the Bulls will try to slowly increase his workload until he can play without any restriction. As it stands, he's expected to split relatively even playing time with Andre Drummond until then.

Vucevic (groin) is considered probable to play Monday against Charlotte.

Vucevic logged 25 minutes off the bench Friday in his return from a five-game absence due to a left adductor strain. His presence on the injury report is attributed to the same injury, but it can likely be attributed to routine maintenance for the big man.

Vucevic (groin) played 25 minutes and finished with 11 points (5-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt), seven rebounds and three assists in Friday's 104-91 win over the Hornets.

In his return from a five-game absence due to a left groin strain, the Bulls elected to ease Vucevic back into the mix in a bench role. In what was his first appearance as a reserve since the 2016-17 season, Vucevic ended up splitting the playing time at center nearly down the middle with fill-in starter Andre Drummond, who logged 23 minutes. The playing time should gradually tilt back in Vucevic's favor once the groin injury is further in the rear-view mirror, though it wouldn't be surprising if the 33-year-old's minutes ceiling was a bit lower than it had been in previous seasons. Even before he missed time with the injury, Vucevic's offensive efficiency was well down from 2022-23, as he came into Friday's game averaging 16.5 points on 45.2 percent shooting from the field, his lowest rate since his rookie campaign.

Vucevic (groin) is available for Friday's game against the Hornets, but he'll be on a minutes restriction and operate off the bench, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Vucevic has missed five straight games, and Andre Drummond has flourished during that time, so the former's minutes restriction isn't surprising. Coach Billy Donovan said earlier this week that Vucevic didn't have a timetable to return and wouldn't practice this week, but the big man has a history of playing through pain, appearing in at least 70 games in four straight seasons, excluding the pandemic-shortened 2019-20 campaign.

Vucevic (groin) is questionable for Friday's game against Charlotte.

Coach Billy Donovan said Tuesday that Vucevic didn't have a timetable to return and wouldn't practice this week, so his questionable designation is a bit of a surprise. It wouldn't be surprising to see him sit once again Friday, but he at least appears to be in the mix to return. Assuming he remains sidelined, Andre Drummond should continue to see increased run in the frontcourt.

Coach Billy Donovan said Tuesday that Vucevic (groin) doesn't have a clear return timetable, and he won't practice this week, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

Vucevic has missed three straight games due to a left groin strain and will likely miss at least a few more. Shams Charania of The Athletic reported at the end of December that the big man would be sidelined for 7-to-10 days, but it looks like his absence will extend well past that timeline. Given Vucevic isn't practicing yet, it's safe to label him week-to-week until the team provides a clearer update. Andre Drummond has been stellar in Vucevic's absence thus far, but Chicago has also deployed smaller lineups when the veteran isn't available, using both Patrick Williams and Terry Taylor at center.

Vucevic is expected to miss at least 7-to-10 days with his left groin strain, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

This is a tough blow for Chicago, and it means they will be without their starting center until at least Jan. 5 against Charlotte. The good news for the Bulls is that Andre Drummond looks more than capable of filling in at center. During Tuesday's win over Atlanta, Drummond compiled 24 points with 25 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and three steals in 39 minutes. Coach Billy Donovan said Tuesday that the Bulls could deploy some smaller lineups when Drummond isn't on the floor, and he mentioned both Patrick Williams and Terry Taylor as guys who can slide in at the five.

Vucevic will not play Tuesday against Atlanta due to a bruised adductor, Cody Westerlund of 670TheScore.com reports.

Vucevic will miss his first game since the spring of 2022 after appearing in all 82 games last season and starting the Bulls' first 31 contests of 2023-24. Andre Drummond will likely start and has streaming credibility for his rebounding prowess, while coach Billy Donovan noted that Terry Taylor and Patrick Williams could also see small-ball minutes at the five.

Vucevic is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Hawks due to a left adductor contusion.

Vucevic hasn't missed a game since the 2021-22 season. However, if he's sidelined Tuesday, Andre Drummond would presumably be the primary beneficiary, while Terry Taylor, Dalen Terry and Julian Phillips could see some minutes at center as well.

Vucevic had 20 points (7-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 34 minutes during Saturday's 109-95 loss to Cleveland.

Vucevic has notched at least 15 points or double-digit rebounds in 10 straight games, averaging 18.9 points and 11.2 boards over that span. A 45.0/34.0/95.0 percent shooting slash is underwhelming efficiency for a big, however, especially in the context of averaging just 1.8 free-throw attempts per game this season.

Vucevic closed Saturday's 118-116 loss to Miami with 12 points (3-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and one steal over 32 minutes.

Vucevic was inefficient while harming the Bulls in crunch time, missing multiple clutch attempts and effectively removing the ball from the hands of DeMar DeRozan and Coby White down the stretch. Vucevic's scoring has been on the rise in recent contests, and he's a bounce-back candidate Monday against Philadelphia, but it's discouraging to see his three-point shooting still at a lowly 26.8 percent clip through 27 games.

Vucevic closed Thursday's 124-116 victory over the Heat with 24 points (10-21 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, seven assists and three steals over 36 minutes.

Vucevic led the Bulls in boards in the win and finished tied for second on the team in scoring. The big man also dished a season-high seven assists and tallied a pair of thefts to round out a strong all-around stat line. Vucevic went through a rough stretch at the end of November and into the beginning of December, scoring under 10 points and posting-single digit rebounds in four of five games, but he's bounced back by averaging 21.0 points and 13.2 boards over his past five contests.

Vucevic chipped in 26 points (12-21 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 16 rebounds, five assists and two blocks in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 114-106 loss to Denver.

Vucevic has no problem stepping his game up whenever one of DeMar DeRozan or Zach LaVine (foot) are sidelined. Since the latter is dealing with a foot injury, the big man has emerged as a reliable second option on offense. He's unlikely to continue putting up these numbers on a sustained basis going forward, but Vucevic has been outstanding lately. Over his last five games, he's averaging 18.0 points, 11.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.2 blocks per game.

Vucevic registered 21 points (9-22 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 16 rebounds, two assists and one block over 36 minutes during Friday's 121-112 victory over the Spurs.

Vucevic posted his third double-double over his last four outings, and the big man continues to enjoy having a more prominent role with Zach LaVine (foot) out until late December at the earliest. Vucevic has recorded 11 double-doubles on the season, and the big man will aim to keep that run going when taking on the Bucks on Monday.

Vucevic provided 20 points (8-17 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and one block across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 111-100 win over Charlotte.

Vucevic led all players in Wednesday's game in rebounds while finishing as one of two Bulls with 20 or more points in a double-double performance. Vucevic has hauled in at least 10 rebounds in 10 games this season, adding 20 or more points in six of those contests.

Vucevic chipped in 29 points (11-21 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists and one steal in 40 minutes during Thursday's 120-113 overtime victory over the Bucks.

Vucevic finally found his groove Thursday, breaking a streak of three straight games with single-digit points. Vucevic had no choice but to be more assertive offensively, as the Bulls were without Zach LaVine (foot) and DeMar DeRozan (ankle) on Thursday. The Bulls snapped a five-game losing streak, and this performance could help Vucevic pick up some momentum.

Vucevic registered six points (3-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt), nine rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 37 minutes during Sunday's 118-109 loss to the Nets.

Vucevic was held to single-digit points for the first time of the season Friday against the Raptors with nine points, only to hit rock bottom Sunday night with a season-low six points. The Bulls have lost four straight games and have a 5-13 record, leading to several players being mentioned in the rumor mill as possible trade candidates.

Vucevic ended Friday's 121-108 loss to the Raptors with nine points (4-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt), eight rebounds, five assists and one steal in 36 minutes.

For the first time this season, Vucevic was unable to score in double digits. He's certainly been trending down in recent games, averaging 13.6 points, 9.2 rebounds and 3.2 assists over his last five outings. He also has a total of one block in that stretch.

Vucevic totaled 16 points (6-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and two steals in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 116-102 loss to Oklahoma City.

Vucevic has been a consistent threat to post double-doubles this season, but Wednesday's double-double was just his second over his last five appearances. However, the 33-year-old has been a consistent force for the Bulls this year and is averaging 16.9 points, 10.4 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 34.4 minutes per game.

Vucevic posted 15 points (7-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt), eight rebounds, one block and one steal across 33 minutes during Saturday's 102-97 victory over the Heat.

Vucevic is the epitome of consistency. He averaged exactly 17.6 points, 11.0 rebounds and 3.2 assists in back-to-back seasons entering 2023-24 and is on pace for similar numbers this year. However, Vucevic's shooting numbers have dropped this season, posting 47/26/79 shooting splits after 52/35/84 last year.

Vucevic ended with 26 points (11-24 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 36 minutes during Monday's 118-109 loss to the Bucks.

Vucevic matched his season high with 26 points, adding double-digit boards for the sixth time this season. He has now scored at least 20 points in three straight games, continuing to be one of the more consistent producers from the center position. While it is unlikely he will maintain his recent production, Vucevic should be a lock to finish inside the top 50 once again this season, barring any unforeseen injuries.

Vucevic recorded 21 points (8-17 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and two blocks over 33 minutes in Sunday's 119-108 win over the Pistons.

It's the second-straight game that Vucevic has scored 20-plus points in a game and is shooting 52.8 percent from the floor in that stretch. It was his first double-double since Nov. 3 and his fifth one of the year. He'll look to replicate his production Monday on a back-to-back against the Bucks.

Vucevic had 26 points (11-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 41 minutes during Wednesday's 116-115 overtime loss to the Suns.

Vucevic was impressive Wednesday despite the loss and led the Bulls in scoring, something he has now accomplished in two of Chicago's last three games. DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine will continue to lead the Bulls offensive, but Vucevic should experience an uptick in his fantasy value if he can replicate these numbers with a bit more consistency.To note, he has scored at least 19 points in four of his last six outings.

Vucevic chipped in 19 points (8-17 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and three assists over 30 minutes during Saturday's 123-101 loss to Denver.

Vucevic posted a team highs with 19 points and 17 shot attempts. Simultaneously, he posted a ghastly minus-27 net rating during his time on the court. The 33-year-old's 20.5 percent usage rate ranks in the 65th percentile among big men, which is the main appeal to his fantasy portfolio.

Vucevic closed Friday's 109-107 loss to Brooklyn with 13 points (6-13 FG, 1-1 3Pt), 13 rebounds and three assists across 36 minutes.

Vucevic recorded his third straight double-double Friday and his fourth of the season. Through six games, the veteran big man is averaging a career-high 12.5 rebounds, but his 0.5 blocks per game would be the lowest of his career.

Vucevic amassed 21 points (10-17 FG, 1-3 3Pt), 20 rebounds, one assist and two steals in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 114-105 loss to the Mavericks.

It was the first time Vucevic has recorded 20-plus points and 20-plus rebounds in a game since March 17, 2019 when he played with the Magic. He's bounced back from his slow start to the 2023-24 campaign and has averaged 22.5 points and 18.5 rebounds over the past two contests while shooting 55.6 percent from the floor.

Vucevic had 24 points (10-19 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 17 rebounds, three assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Monday's 112-105 win over the Pacers.

Vucevic endured a tough start to the season and was due a bounce-back performance, which is exactly what happened in this game -- it was the first time this season in which he posted similar numbers to the ones he had during his Magic days. Vucevic might be entrenched as the Bulls' third-best scoring option behind Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan, but there's no question the team is better when he becomes a difference-maker, particularly on the offensive end of the court. This was Vucevic's second double-double of the season, but he did it by posting season-high numbers in several categories.

Vucevic recorded 12 points (5-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and one assist in 32 minutes during Saturday's 118-102 loss to the Pistons.

Vucevic is firmly entrenched as the Bulls' third-best scoring option behind Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan. Still, it's fair to say his contributions have fallen short of expectations in the first three games of the season. He's yet to score more than 12 points in a game and is shooting a meager 41.2 percent from the field, a low figure for a big man. Vucevic needs to be better to remain relevant in fantasy, but the Bulls need him to play better as well amid a slow start to the campaign.

Vucevic registered 11 points (4-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and one block across 40 minutes during Friday's 104-103 overtime victory over the Raptors.

Vucevic has been a walking double-double for most of his 13-year career and has averaged at least 10 points and 10 rebounds in all but two of his full seasons. He struggled from the field, though he wasn't the only one as the Bulls shot just 37.4 percent from the floor and went 8-of-39 from three. He'll have to work for his rebounds Saturday against the Pistons, who fielded a double-big lineup of Isaiah Steward and Jalen Duren in their Friday win over the Hornets.

Vucevic scored a game-high 21 points (9-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT) while adding 10 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and a steal in 33 minutes during Thursday's 114-105 preseason loss to the Timberwolves.

The veteran big man appears more than ready for the regular season, as he was also the only player on either team to reach double-digit boards. Vucevic has posted back-to-back 20 and 10 performances to close out the exhibition schedule, and the 32-year-old heads into 2023-24 looking to average at least 17 points and 10 rebounds for the sixth straight campaign.

Vucevic tallied 20 points (8-13 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds and one assist in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 106-102 preseason loss to the Raptors.

Vucevic rested during Sunday's preseason game but took on a key role in his return to action Tuesday. Although the Bulls were unable to pick up the win, Vucevic was one of two players on the team to score 20-plus points while also finishing second in rebounds. The 32-year-old has averaged double-doubles in five consecutive seasons and should maintain a prominent role during the 2023-24 campaign.

Vucevic (rest) is in the starting five for Tuesday's preseason game against the Raptors.

Vucevic will return to the lineup Tuesday after sitting out Sunday's preseason game. He will replace Andre Drummond in the starting lineup.

Vucevic will not suit up for Sunday's preseason matchup against Denver, Harrison Wind of DNVR Sports reports.

Vucevic will get the night off as the team continues to work towards regular-season form. Vucevic has had a mediocre preseason to this point, averaging just seven points across two contests. It would not be surprising if we see him back for the team's next exhibition match on Tuesday as he tries to pick up some momentum before regular-season action.

Vucevic tallied 10 points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals in 22 minutes during Thursday's 133-124 preseason double-overtime win over Denver.

Vucevic saw increased minutes during Thursday's matchup and managed to improve upon his four-point performance from the Bulls' season opener against Milwaukee. The 32-year-old has appeared in at least 70 games in three consecutive seasons and has averaged double-doubles in five consecutive years. While appearing in all 82 games with the Bulls last year, he averaged 17.6 points, 11.0 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 33.5 minutes per matchup.

Vucevic and the Bulls are nearing an agreement on a three-year, $60 million extension, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Vucevic posted 17.6 points and 11.0 rebounds across 82 regular-season appearances last year and was going to be a free agent this summer, but it looks like he'll return to Chicago on a new deal. The versatile big man is a consistent contributor and can space the floor for DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine, but the Bulls' trio hasn't meshed well enough to make a playoff run over the last two-plus seasons.

Vucevic had 14 points (6-14 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 109-105 play-in game victory over the Raptors.

Vucevic needed 14 shots to score 14 points, but he posted a double-double and also contributed in peripheral categories in this win. The big man will have his hands full Friday when dealing with Bam Adebayo, as Chicago will take on the Heat in a must-win matchup for the eighth seed of the Eastern Conference.

Vucevic chipped in 20 points (7-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 10 rebounds and four assists over 28 minutes during Friday's 115-112 win over the Mavericks.

Vucevic was a force in the first half, scoring 18 points on 7-of-11 shooting from the floor to go along with six boards and two assists. He added just two points in the third quarter before sitting for all of the fourth, but also grabbed another four rebounds to give him a game-high 10 on the night. The big man has now recorded a double-double in four straight games to begin this month and has scored at least 20 points in five of his last seven.

Vucevic (rest) will play in Friday's game versus the Mavericks, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

A report from Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston suggested Vucevic would sit out Friday's game versus the Mavericks, but head coach Billy Donovan indicated that the big man is suiting up in pursuit of playing all 82 games for the first time in his career. It's unclear if the staff will restrict the big man's playing time with the rest of the starters sitting out, but he will at least be on the floor to start the game.

Vucevic isn't expected to play in Friday's game versus the Mavericks, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Vucevic appears likely to join the resting ranks among most of the team's regular starters, leaving a fairly thin crew to take the floor Friday versus the Mavericks. Andre Drummond seems likely to draw the start at center in his absence, though Derrick Jones should also factor in, and Terry Taylor and Marko Simonovic could each see some minutes as well.

Vucevic produced 19 points (8-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds and three assists across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 123-105 loss to the Hawks.

Vucevic had success against Clint Capela inside at times, but he was overall well-contained by Atlanta. He's been tough to stop lately, scoring at least 19 points in four of his last five games.

Vucevic closed with 29 points (12-16 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds and six assists in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 121-110 loss to the Lakers.

Vucevic was extremely efficient against Los Angeles, making 12 of 16 shots from the field, including three of four attempts from beyond the arc. The big man recorded his highest scoring total since Jan. 15 and registered his eighth double-double across his past 11 contests. Vucevic added six assists to his stat line, a mark he has reached 10 times this season.

Vucevic tallied 20 points (9-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt), eight rebounds and five assists over 30 minutes in Monday's defeat against the Clippers.

Vucevic played only 15 minutes Sunday as the result of being ejected in the second quarter. That may have benefitted him for the second game of the back-to-back set Monday, as the big man shot the ball efficiently and tied for the team lead with eight boards across 30 minutes. Vucevic has played in all 75 of the Bulls' games this season and is unlikely to get a day off down the stretch with Chicago battling to move up from the No. 10 spot in the Eastern Conference.

Vucevic was ejected from Sunday's 118-108 victory over the Lakers after totaling four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 15 minutes.

The veteran center got two quick technical fouls while arguing a call in the second quarter, but Chicago was able to pull out a victory without him. Vucevic had seven double-doubles in his prior eight games before the ejection, and he'll be spoiling to record another one Monday against the Clippers as the Bulls fight to make the postseason.

Vucevic ended with eight points (4-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and one steal across 25 minutes during Wednesday's 116-91 loss to Philadelphia.

Vucevic posted six consecutive double-doubles ahead of Wednesday's matchup, but he was unable to find as much success against Philadelphia's strong frontcourt. This was just the fifth time this year that the 32-year-old was held below 10 points, and he'll have a favorable opportunity to bounce back against the Trail Blazers on Friday.

Vucevic notched 21 points (8-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and four steals across 46 minutes during Monday's 109-105 double-overtime win over the 76ers.

With the Bulls fighting to hang onto a spot in the play-in tournament, Vucevic has stepped up his game and reeled off six straight double-doubles, averaging 19.7 points, 12.3 boards, 3.3 assists, 1.5 threes and 1.2 steals over that stretch while shooting a cool 50.0 percent from the floor. On the year, the veteran center is once again averaging a double-double a night, the fifth straight season he's done so and the ninth time in his career.

Vucevic notched 21 points (9-20 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists, three blocks and two steals in 46 minutes during Friday's 139-131 double-overtime win over the Timberwolves.

DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine will get the headlines after combining for 88 points, but Vucevic certainly pulled his weight too and had one of the dunks of the year over Nickeil Alexander-Walker. Vucevic is averaging 21.0 points, 13.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists over his last four games, but he will have his hands full with Bam Adebayo and the Heat on the schedule Saturday.

Vucevic had 20 points (8-22 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 14 rebounds and three assists across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 117-114 loss to the Kings.

Vucevic contributed 25 points (9-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 15 rebounds and three assists across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 117-96 win over Denver.

Vucevic got the better of two-time MVP Nikola Jokic and posted his fourth outing of the season with at least 25 points and 15 rebounds. The talented big man has yet to miss a game this season and is averaging 17.7 points, 11.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.5 steals-plus-block with 51/35/81 shooting splits.

Vucevic recorded 23 points (9-14 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and four assists across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 104-98 loss to the Raptors.

Vucevic led the Bulls in scoring and threes made while finishing as the only player to score 20 or more points in the loss. Vucevic has posted 20 or more points with five or more rebounds 22 times this season, including in two of his last five games.

Vucevic finished with 16 points (7-16 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds and one assist over 32 minutes during Sunday's 102-82 win over the Wizards.

Vucevic led the team in rebounds while also surpassing the double-digit scoring total in a double-double performance. Vucevic has tallied at a double-double on 39 occasions this season, including in three straight contests. 

Vucevic racked up 19 points (8-18 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 117-113 loss to Indiana.

The 12-year pro entered Wednesday's contest on a streak of nine consecutive double-doubles but fell short of his tenth in a row Wednesday. He is averaging 20 points and 13 rebounds per game over his last ten games, both up from his season-long marks. He will ride the hot streak into the all-star break as the Bulls will look to bounce back from a four-game losing streak when they return to action.

Vucevic recorded 14 points (7-13 FG, 0-4 3Pt), 14 rebounds, four assists and one block over 36 minutes during Saturday's 97-89 loss to Cleveland.

Vucevic extended his double-double streak to seven games and is averaging 22.0 points, 13.7 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.0 steals during that stretch. The talented big man remains the most consistent producer for the Bulls this season and should remain a strong fantasy asset as long as he stays healthy.

Vucevic produced 15 points (7-15 FG, 1-6 3Pt), 17 rebounds and one assist across 37 minutes during Thursday's 116-105 loss to the Nets.

Vucevic has been unstoppable since the calendar flipped to 2023 and has been an absolute double-double machine, reaching that feat in his last seven contests and all but two of his 19 games since the beginning of January. He's averaging 20.5 points and 13.3 rebounds per game in that 19-game stretch.

Vucevic finished Tuesday's 104-89 loss to the Grizzlies with 28 points (12-26 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 17 rebounds, six assists and three steals across 37 minutes.

Though the smothering Grizzlies defense limited the Bulls to their lowest scoring total of the season, the red-hot Vucevic still managed to submit yet another stellar fantasy line. After an underwhelming first two and a half months to begin the season, Vucevic has been an efficient double-double machine since the calendar flipped to 2023. In 18 appearances dating back to the start of the new year, Vucevic has claimed 16 double-doubles while averaging 20.8 points, 13.1 boards and 4.5 assists to go with shooting splits of 55.1/35.2/79.4 percent from the field, three-point land and free-throw line respectively.

Vucevic totaled 22 points (10-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt), 12 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal in 24 minutes during Monday's 128-104 victory over the Spurs.

Vucevic has been outstanding of late and notched his fifth straight double-double in Chicago's dominant win, as he continues to produce on both ends of the court at a very consistent rate. In fact, Vucevic has 15 double-doubles across 17 appearances since the calendar flipped to 2023 and is averaging 20.4 points with 12.8 rebounds, 4.4 assists and a combined 1.5 blocks/steals in that span.

Vucevic (quadriceps) is available for Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.

As expected, the big man will push through a bruised left quad. He's appeared in every game this season and has double-doubled in 14 of his past 16 appearances.

Vucevic is probable for Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers due to a left quad contusion.

Vucevic has posted double-doubles in his last three appearances, averaging 22.0 points, 13.0 rebounds and 5.0 assists in 37.0 minutes per game during that time. While he's dealing with a quad issue ahead of Saturday's matchup, it appears likely that he'll be able to suit up.

Vucevic amassed 17 points (7-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, six assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Thursday's 114-98 win over the Hornets.

DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine were far from being at their best Thursday against Charlotte, but Vucevic continued with his fine run of form and registered his third straight double-double. The star big man has been one of the best two-way players since the calendar flipped to the new year, posting 13 double-doubles in 15 outings while averaging 20.1 points and 13.0 rebounds per game in that stretch.

Vucevic produced 26 points (11-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, six assists and two blocks across 39 minutes during Saturday's 128-109 win over Orlando.

After a tough shooting performance in the previous game, Vuc bounced back Saturday night and had an especially explosive first half. He ended the game with yet another double-double, shooting over 61 percent and posting two blocks for the second time in three games. Fantasy managers can continue to expect reasonably consistent scoring and rebounding numbers from the veteran center who hasn't missed a game all season.

Vucevic closed with 20 points (9-14 FG, 2-2 3Pt), eight rebounds, five assists and two blocks across 33 minutes during Tuesday's 116-110 loss to the Pacers.

Vucevic was one of two Bulls players with 20 or more points, leading the team in rebounds and assists while putting forth a balanced performance. Vucevic has tallied at least 20 points, five rebounds and five assists in two games this season.

Vucevic ended with 16 points (8-19 FG, 0-5 3Pt), 15 rebounds, six assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Thursday's 126-108 win over the Pistons.

Vucevic was phenomenal in the first quarter, going 4-of-5 from the field for eight points while adding five boards, three assists and a steal. He collected another six points and seven rebounds in the second to notch his 10th consecutive double-double by halftime. However, the Bulls center would knock down just one more shot on six attempts in the second half, along with three rebounds and two assists as Chicago cruised to an easy win in Paris. Vucevic finished the contest with a game-high 15 rebounds and is now averaging 21.6 points and 13.4 rebounds per game in the month of January.

Vucevic accumulated 43 points (18-31 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists and four steals in 39 minutes during Sunday's 132-118 victory over Golden State.

Vucevic poured in a game-high 43 points and looked sharp shooting the ball all night. He turned up the intensity in the second half, scoring 25 points on 10-for-15 from the field and 3-for-6 from downtown while also collecting seven boards, two assists and two steals in 20 minutes. This marks a new top scoring mark for Vucevic on the season.

Vucevic totaled 19 points (9-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt), 11 rebounds, four assists and one steal in 39 minutes during Friday's 124-110 loss to Oklahoma City.

Vucevic has been playing well of late and has handled the responsibility of being the team's second-best scorer quite well, as DeMar DeRozan (quadriceps) has now missed two games in a row. Vucevic is making his presence felt on both ends of the court, posting six double-doubles and one triple-double across seven January appearances. He's averaging 18.6 points, 13.4 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game this month.

Vucevic totaled 15 points (7-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt), 10 rebounds, five assists and two blocks over 39 minutes during Wednesday's 100-97 loss to the Wizards.

It's his seventh straight game with double-digit boards, a stretch that features six double-doubles and his fifth career triple-double. Vucevic could be dealt by the trade deadline if the struggling Bulls blow up the roster, but the 32-year-old center isn't hurting his value, averaging 18.5 points, 11.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.9 threes and 1.2 blocks over the last 14 contests while shooting 55.3 percent from the floor and 41.5 percent from beyond the arc.

Vucevic posted 21 points (9-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 0-2 FT), 13 rebounds and one assist over 34 minutes during Monday's 107-99 loss to Boston.

The veteran center reeled off his sixth straight double-double and 22nd of the season, tying him with Tyrese Haliburton for sixth in the league at the halfway point of Chicago's season. Vucevic is averaging 17.8 points, 14.5 points, 3.5 assists, 1.7 threes and 1.2 blocks over that stretch while shooting 58.6 percent from the floor, and should the Bulls front office decide to become sellers at the trade deadline, the 32-year-old could be the first player out the door.

Vucevic ended Saturday's 126-118 win over the Jazz with 15 points (5-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 16 rebounds, four assists and two blocks across 33 minutes.

Vucevic recorded his fifth straight double-double, pulling in another 16 boards. The veteran center has had a fantastic start to the month of January, where he's averaging 18.8 points, 15.0 rebounds and 1.5 blocks, all major improvements from the month of December. His shooting percentages have also increased, posting 64.3 percent from the field and 87.5 percent from the free-throw line.

Vucevic totaled 19 points (8-14 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 18 rebounds, 10 assists and two blocks over 36 minutes during Friday's 126-112 win over the 76ers.

Vucevic found success shooting the ball, and he also snagged 16 of his 18 rebounds on the defensive glass. He's now secured double-digit rebounds in four straight contests, averaging 17.8 points, 14.5 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.3 blocks over that brief stretch.

Vucevic provided 21 points (8-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 121-112 victory over Brooklyn.

Vucevic had one of his best performances of the season in a huge win, as he was efficient from the field, active on the glass and solid defensively. The big man has struggled with consistency at times, but he has been playing well of late with three straight double-doubles while scoring at least 19 points in three of his last four contests.

Vucevic had 20 points (6-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 13 rebounds and two assists across 44 minutes during Monday's 145-134 overtime loss to the Cavaliers.

It was the veteran center's second straight double-double and 18th of the season. Vucevic has stepped up his production lately, averaging 18.7 points, 10.3 boards, 2.8 assists, 2.0 threes and 1.0 blocks over the last nine games, and if the Bulls do decide to break up their core before the trade deadline, the 32-year-old is doing what he can to enhance his value.

Vucevic ended with 19 points (9-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt), nine rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one steal over 33 minutes during Friday's 132-118 win over the Pistons.

Vucevic came up just one rebound shy from securing what would've been his fourth double-double over his last six contests, and while his numbers are simply not going to be the ones he had during his days with the Magic, he remains a productive player given he's the third option on an offense that also features DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine. Vucevic remains a solid fantasy play in all formats and is averaging 18.4 points with 8.9 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game across 14 December contests.

Vucevic amassed 15 points (5-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 14 rebounds, five assists and three blocks over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 119-113 overtime win over Milwaukee.

Vucevic recorded his third double-double over his last five games, and he also tied his best mark of the season with three swatted shots. After being held to four points in the first half, the 32-year-old doubled that total in the next two quarters by knocking down a pair of triples and two shots from the charity stripe. Vucevic is averaging 18.4 points, 8.9 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.0 steals through 13 contests in December.

Vucevic finished with 10 points (4-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and four assists in 30 minutes during Monday's 133-118 loss to the Rockets.

Prior to Monday, Vucevic had scored 20-plus points and recorded at least one defensive stat in four straight games. The performance against Houston was just the fifth time this season he's scored 10 or fewer points. Fantasy managers shouldn't worry about Vucevic's production going forward. This month, he's averaging 18.7 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.1 steals in 34.1 minutes.

Vucevic logged 29 points (13-17 FG, 3-5 3Pt), 12 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 113-103 win over the Heat.

Vucevic was one of three Chicago players that scored in double digits in this one, and the big man was outstanding on both ends of the court en route to his 14th double-double of the season. Vucevic has now scored at least 20 points in five of his nine games this month and is averaging 19.2 points, 8.9 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game in December.

Vucevic racked up nine points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt), eight rebounds and four assists over 29 minutes during Friday's 114-91 loss to the Knicks.

Vucevic had arguably his worst performance of the season Friday, failing to score in double-digits for the first time in over a month. While his production has been somewhat underwhelming thus far, he remains a top 40 player on the season. His defensive contributions are basically non-existent, although this is certainly no surprise given his past few seasons.

Vucevic ended Saturday's 144-115 victory over the Mavericks with 20 points (8-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 26 minutes.

Vucevic was highly efficient from the field Saturday, racking up 16 first-half points on 6-of-8 shooting while also hitting his only two free-throw attempts. He added only four more points in the third quarter before sitting for all of the fourth as the Bulls had already put the game out of reach. Vucevic has now reached the 20-point mark in three of his last four contests, shooting 57.4 percent from the field over that stretch.

Vucevic produced 25 points (10-16 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 115-111 victory over the Wizards.

Vucevic only has two double-doubles over his last five appearances. Still, he's been a consistent performer for Chicago while contributing on both ends of the court on a steady basis. Having recorded six double-doubles over his last 10 games, Vucevic is averaging 16.4 points and 10.2 rebounds per contest during that span.

Vucevic provided 23 points (9-17 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and three steals across 32 minutes during Friday's 119-111 loss to the Warriors.

Vucevic led Chicago in scoring, rebounding and steals in the loss while turning the ball over only once. He finished with his 12th double-double of the campaign and his first over his past three contests. The veteran keeps rolling along as a steady fantasy center, averaging 16.0 points, 11.2 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.5 three-pointers and 0.7 blocks across 31.8 minutes per contest.

Vucevic amassed 17 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 132-113 loss to Phoenix.

Vucevic chipped in across the board in the loss, continuing what has been a steady season thus far. He currently sits just inside the top 50 in standard leagues, bang on where he was being drafted. While his defense leaves a lot to be desired, he remains a solid source of points and rebounds, typically scoring efficiently from both the field and the charity stripe.

Vucevic closed with 13 points (6-14 FG, 1-7 3Pt), 13 rebounds and three assists in 40 minutes during Friday's 123-119 overtime loss to the Thunder.

Vucevic didn't shoot the ball particularly well, but he did pull down 13 boards to record his 11th double-double in 19 games this season. The Chicago big man has yet to miss a game this year and he currently leads the league in total rebounds with 218. Other than that, he's been a very average center for fantasy purposes.

Vucevic registered 18 points (7-14 FG, 4-10 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists and one block across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 118-113 win over the Bucks.

Vucevic entered this game fresh off three straight double-doubles, but he was unable to extend that streak here. The big man at least managed to snap a run of four straight contests in which he couldn't reach the 15-point mark. He remains a productive player, but he's also defined as a secondary offensive piece behind the likes of DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine.

Vucevic logged 14 points (5-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 16 rebounds, seven assists, three blocks and one steal in 33 minutes during Friday's 108-107 loss to Orlando.

Vucevic needed 13 shots to score 14 points, but shooting woes aside, the big man was a monster on the glass and looked excellent as a playmaker, ending just three dimes away from posting a triple-double. This was an excellent showing against his former team, and he continues to produce at both ends of the court, as Vucevic now has six double-doubles across his last eight appearances.

Vucevic closed with 14 points (6-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt), 10 rebounds and one steal across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 124-110 loss to the Pelicans.

Vucevic secured his fifth double-double of November (eight games) in what turned out to be an average showing for the big man. He's shooting an impressive 50.1 percent from the field over this stretch (49-for-97) and has tacked on a pair of steals and four blocks.

Vucevic posted 18 points (6-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds and two assists across 27 minutes in Wednesday's 115-111 loss against the Pelicans.

Vucevic had a decent performance, but he ended three boards away from posting what would've been his fifth consecutive double-double. The big man has looked good as Chicago's third-best offensive player behind DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine, and even though he's not going to put up the same numbers he had during his days with the Magic, he's still a serviceable big man who can contribute at a high level on both ends of the court.

Vucevic chipped in 15 points (7-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt), 13 rebounds, four assists and two blocks across 34 minutes during Monday's 111-97 win over the Raptors.

Vuc provided another double-double for fantasy owners as well as two blocks Monday night. It was the first time in 10 games he recorded multiple blocks. Don't count on that to continue, but his consistent rebound rate and solid scoring will always be there. One concern might be turnovers though, as the veteran center is averaging a career-high 2.4 per game this season.

Vucevic finished with 24 points (10-14 FG, 4-5 3Pt), 12 rebounds, three assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Friday's 123-119 loss to the Celtics.

Vucevic has been a rebounding machine lately, recording his third double-double over the last four games and even hitting four shots from beyond the arc. Recently though, he's also been lacking certain statistics that fantasy managers typically rely upon from their centers, finishing this game with zero blocks and zero free-throw attempts. The veteran center has never been known to get a ton of blocks, but he's now only managed two over the past seven games.

Vucevic finished Wednesday's 106-88 win over the Hornets with 14 points (5-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists and one block in 32 minutes.

After going 4-of-10 from the field for 12 points in the first half, Vucevic would only add another two points in the second half on 1-of-6 shooting. He did, however, make up for it on the defensive end to the tune of seven second-half rebounds as the Bulls pulled away down the stretch. Vucevic now recorded 10 or more rebounds in each of his last three contests and in seven of nine games this season, while his 13 on Wednesday tied Mason Plumlee for a game-high.

Vucevic notched seven points (3-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 15 rebounds, two assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Tuesday's 108-99 victory over the Nets.

It's the fourth time in eight games Vucevic has ripped down at least 15 boards, but he's now failed to score in double digits twice in the last three contests. The veteran center is averaging what would be a career-high 12.3 rebounds a game if he can maintain that pace, but he continues to take a back seat to DeMar DeRozan and, when he's in the lineup, Zach LaVine (knee) on the offensive end.

Vucevic amassed 23 points (8-14 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 19 rebounds, three assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Saturday's 114-109 loss to the 76ers.

Vucevic struggled massively to adjust to the Bulls since joining the Magic via trade at the deadline of the 2020-21 season, and while he's had some strong outings in the current campaign, he remains wildly inconsistent on a game-to-game basis. Vucevic has three double-doubles on the season, but he also has just two games in which he's surpassed the 20-point mark. Still, he's firmly entrenched as Chicago's third-best option on offense and should remain valuable in all formats even if he's not likely to put up the dominant numbers he had when playing for Orlando.

Vucevic provided 18 points (7-19 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 23 rebounds and five assists across 31 minutes during Monday's 120-102 victory over the Celtics.

Vucevic has scored at least 15 points in each of his four contests of the season and while he needed 19 shots just to score 18 points here, the fact that he produced excellent rebounding and passing numbers made it feel as if he was making strides toward being the player he was during his Magic days before getting traded to Chicago. Vucevic is expected to remain as the Bulls' third-best scoring option behind DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine, but he's had solid outings so far to start the season. Through four games, he's averaging 18.3 points and 13.0 rebounds per contest.

Vucevic logged 16 points (7-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and three blocks across 31 minutes during Saturday's 128-96 loss to the Cavaliers.

Vucevic tallied another 15-point outing of the season in Saturday's loss, his third straight to start the new year. In three games, Vucevic is averaging 18.3 points, 9.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 2.0 blocks per game.

Vucevic registered 24 points (5-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 12-12 FT), eight rebounds and one assist across 30 minutes during Friday's 102-100 loss to Washington.

Vucevic had major issues with his shooting efficiency, but he scored half of his points from the charity stripe and that allowed him to deliver a better stat line, as he also ended just two boards shy of a double-double. He should remain as Chicago's second-best offensive threat in the near future, or at least until one of Lonzo Ball (knee) or Zach LaVine (knee) return to action.

Vucevic racked up 15 points (5-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 17 rebounds, two assists and three blocks in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 116-108 win over the Heat.

Vucevic didn't have the best shooting performance and needed 13 shots just to score 15 points, but his value lied elsewhere and proved to be a threat both on the glass and on the defensive end. The former Magic big man is expected to operate as Chicago's third-best offensive option behind DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine, but these all-around performances will certainly boost his fantasy upside.

Vucevic tallied 17 points (7-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and two steals in 24 minutes in Tuesday's 127-104 victory over the Bucks.

Vucevic had a strong first half, making his first five shots, scoring 12 points and grabbing seven rebounds. He made both his shots in the second half and dished out four of his assists. The 31-year-old looks primed for the regular season and is averaging 14.8 points, 9.5 rebounds and 3.3 assists while making 67.8 percent of his shots and going 7-for-14 on three-point tries.

Vucevic produced 13 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt), nine rebounds and two assists in 26 minutes in a 115-98 victory Sunday in Toronto.

Vucevic made all three of his shots -- including his lone three-pointer -- in the first quarter and scored seven of his 13 points. He's been quite consistent in the first three games of the preseason and is averaging 14 points and nine boards while shooting 64.2 percent from the field and going 5-for-11 from beyond the arc. His early success from deep is a sign of progress as the 31-year-old shot just 31.4 percent on threes last year.

Vucevic closed Wednesday's 116-100 loss to the Bucks with 19 points (8-15 FG, 3-9 3Pt), 16 rebounds, six assists and two blocks across 37 minutes.

Logging four double-doubles in the series, Vucevic was Chicago's most consistent contributor. That being said, his shot selection was poor at times and he was cold from beyond the arc. For the season Vucevic shot just 31.4 percent from deep -- his lowest three-point percentage since 2017. While he graded as a positive defender, his overall fit with Chicago was questionable at times. His future with the Bulls isn't fully clear.

Vucevic racked up 19 points (8-17 FG, 3-9 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists and one block over 30 minutes during Friday's 111-81 loss to the Bucks.

Vucevic has been one of the best players for Chicago in the series, as he has scored at least 19 points in each game while also recording two double-doubles. His contributions will be even more valuable considering how much Zach LaVine has been struggling on offense.

Vucevic finished Wednesday's 114-110 victory over the Bucks with 24 points (10-18 FG, 4-8 3Pt), 13 rebounds, two assists and one steal across 36 minutes.

Vucevic made a major impact on the game as both a scorer and rebounder, finishing with his second straight double-double in the first-round series. The big man also led the Bulls with four three-pointers and shot an efficient 10-for-18 from the field overall. He has been a problem for Milwaukee thus far, averaging 24 points and 15 boards in the first two contests of the series.

Vucevic closed with 24 points (9-27 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 17 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 39 minutes during Sunday's 93-86 loss to the Bucks.

While Vucevic was a major contributor to the Bulls' 31-of-96 (32.3% FG) shooting effort as a team, he rewarded fantasy managers with monster counting stats, including three steals/blocks in 39 minutes of action. Vucevic misfired on a number of wide-open looks from beyond the arc, so he certainly could have been poised for an even bigger night had the Bulls been able to get some shots to fall. Milwaukee led the NBA in opponents' three-point attempts per game during the regular season, so those looks will likely continue to be there throughout the series.

Vucevic will rest for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Timberwolves.

Chicago is locked into the No. 6 seed, so there's no need for Vucevic to risk injury. Notably, DeMar DeRozan (rest) and Zach LaVine (knee) are also out. Tristan Thompson and Tony Bradley should see extra minutes.

Vucevic produced 13 points (5-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal over 25 minutes during Wednesday's 117-94 loss to the Celtics.

The imposing trio of Jayson Tatum, Al Horford and Daniel Theis dominated all aspects of the interior Wednesday, which kept Vucevic in check for most of the game. This isn't good news for Vucevic, as the Bulls' potential first-round opponent (Milwaukee) also likes to play large with multiple big men starting aginst the right opponent.

Vucevic contributed 12 points (6-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt), 10 rebounds, five assists and one block in 32 minutes during Saturday's 127-109 loss to the Heat.

The totals were modest, but Vucevic still produced his third double-double in the last four games and 44th of the season, putting him fifth in the league in that category. Since the beginning of March, the veteran center is averaging 18.7 points, 9.9 boards, 2.3 assists, 1.5 threes and 1.0 steals over his last 15 games.

Vucevic provided 22 points (9-19 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 14 rebounds and one assist in 40 minutes during Thursday's 135-130 overtime win over the Clippers.

Vucevic led Chicago in rebounds in the victory and finished second on the team in scoring. The double-double was his seventh in March and second in his past three games. In addition to his steady contributions as a scorer and rebounder, Vucevic has been effective from beyond the arc of late, making multiple three-pointers in five of his past seven contests.

Vucevic supplied 16 points (6-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals across 34 minutes during Monday's 109-104 loss to the Knicks.

Vucevic was solid in defeat, scoring 16 points for the third straight game. He added 13 rebounds, notching up his first double-double in a week, while also maintaining his recent defensive production. With the Bulls now tied with the Raptors for the fifth seed, and just one win ahead of the Cavaliers, they are going to be doing everything they can to avoid the Play-In tournament. Given the importance of every game moving forward, Vucevic should continue to log heavy minutes the rest of the way.

Vucevic supplied 16 points (7-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt), nine rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals over 32 minutes during Thursday's 126-109 loss to New Orleans.

It was another solid performance from the veteran center. Since missing a game March 7 due to a minor hamstring strain, Vucevic is averaging 18.4 points, 9.6 boards, 1.6 assists, 1.6 threes and 1.1 steals over the last eight contests.

Vucevic chipped in 22 points (9-15 FG, 4-5 3Pt), seven rebounds and two assists in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 126-98 loss to the Bucks.

Vucevic started off hot, connecting on three triples in the first quarter en route to 11 early points. The talented big man finished with four made three-pointers, marking just the sixth time he's made at least four this season. Over his last seven appearances, Vucevic has averaged 18.7 points, 9.7 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.0 steals in 30.9 minutes per game.

Vucevic logged 10 points (5-14 FG, 0-6 3Pt), 11 rebounds, one assist and one steal across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 125-110 loss to Utah.

Vucevic had a rough night from the field, but at least he managed to record double-digit points and rebounds for the third game in a row. He continues to play at an underwhelming level compared to his Orlando days, but he still holds decent fantasy value as a two-way threat in a position with very few top-notch alternatives.

Vucevic amassed 23 points (10-22 FG, 3-7 3Pt), 10 rebounds and two assists across 33 minutes during Monday's 112-103 loss to Sacramento.

Vucevic did his best against the Kings' much-improved defensive front and added to his impressive resume of dounle-doubles. The addition of Zach LaVine usually spells increased scoring for Vucevic, who is a frequent passing target and assist converter.

Vucevic provided 20 points (9-19 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 14 rebounds, one block and two steals in 34 minutes during Saturday's 101-91 win over the Cavaliers.

Vucevic's hamstring injury has only kept him out of one game so far, and he posted one of his best totals over the past month despite dealing with the problem. Although Zach LaVine (knee) missed the game, Vucevic and DeMar DeRozan combined to score 45 of Chicago's 101 points.

Vucevic (hamstring) will play Saturday against the Cavaliers.

As expected, Vucevic will play through a strained right hamstring. Across his past 10 appearances, he's averaged 20.1 points, 10.4 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.1 steals in 33.6 minutes.

Vucevic (hamstring) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Cavaliers.

Vucevic returned from a one-game absence due to the hamstring strain to record 21 points, six boards, two assists and two steals in 29 minutes against the Pistons on Wednesday. However, he's still dealing with some discomfort, and he may sit out Saturday. That would open up more time for Tristan Thompson.

Vucevic totaled 21 points (8-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two steals across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 114-108 victory over Detroit.

Vucevic's six rebounds accounted for his lowest total in that category since Jan. 15, but his efficiency from the field made up for the lack of boards, especially given the hamstring issue that caused him to miss the last game. He's also managed to record two assists and two steals in each of his last two games. The 31-year-old is averaging 17.9 points, 11.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists across 33.8 minutes per game this season.

Vucevic (hamstring) is available Wednesday against the Pistons.

The center returns following a one-game absence. Over his past five appearances, he's averaged 15.4 points, 9.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.0 steals and has a good opportunity to improve on those numbers against a beat-up Pistons frontcourt.

Vucevic (hamstring) is questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Pistons.

Vucevic was sidelined for Monday's loss to the 76ers due to a right hamstring strain. Bulls head coach Billy Donovan had said before the contest that he expected the talented big man to be available, so his absence was likely precautionary, though it's a little concerning he's still 50-50 to play Wednesday. Either way, fantasy managers should monitor his status closely.

Vucevic (hamstring) will not play Monday against the 76ers.

Vucevic reported some tightness in his hamstring over the weekend, which kept him out of practice Saturday following the Bulls' loss to Milwaukee on Friday night. Despite another day off Sunday, the big man is still dealing with some discomfort, so the Bulls will hold him out Monday -- likely on somewhat of a precautionary basis. Tristan Thompson will start at center, and Javonte Green will re-enter the starting lineup, in Vucevic's stead.

Vucevic (hamstring) will be a game-time decision ahead of Monday's matchup against the 76ers, Rob Schaefer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Vucevic didn't practice Sunday and is officially listed as questionable. If the talented big man is unable to suit up, Tristan Thompson and Tony Bradley figure to handle the majority of the center duties for Chicago against Joel Embiid.

Vucevic (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's contest against the 76ers.

Vucevic didn't practice Sunday due to hamstring tightness, but Bulls head coach Billy Donovan said the center will likely play in Monday's matchup. However, he's unable to suit up, Tristan Thompson and Tony Bradley would both be candidates for increased roles.

Vucevic didn't practice Sunday due to hamstring tightness, but Bulls head coach Billy Donovan said he'll likely play in Monday's contest against the Sixers, Mike McGraw of the Daily Herald reports.

The Bulls' official injury report hasn't been released yet, but it doesn't appear like Vucevic's hamstring injury is anything serious. However, if he isn't able to suit up Monday, Tristan Thompson and Tony Bradley would both be candidates for increased roles.

Vucevic scored 21 points (10-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt) while adding 11 rebounds and five assists in 36 minutes during Thursday's 130-124 loss to the Hawks.

After seeing his latest double-double streak snapped at five in the Bulls' last game, Vucevic started a new one Thursday. The veteran center averaged 21.4 points, 12.4 boards, 3.3 assists and 1.2 blocks through 13 games in February, and Vucevic figures to be a key part of Chicago's push to claim the top spot in the Eastern Conference.

Vucevic (ankle) will be available Monday night at Miami.

The big man tweaked his ankle during Saturday's loss to the Grizzlies, but he was listed as probable heading into Monday and will play through the injury. Vucevic finished Saturday's game with 11 points on 17 shots to go with 12 rebounds and a block in 31 minutes.

Vucevic is probable for Monday's matchup with Miami due to a sprained left ankle.

Vucevic struggled offensively during Saturday's loss to Memphis, totaling 11 points (5-17 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds and one block across 31 minutes. He's expected to suit up despite the ankle injury, but he's shooting just 30.0 percent from the field during Chicago's first two games following the All-Star break, so fantasy expectations should likely remain tempered for the time being.

Vucevic notched 11 points (5-17 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds and one block over 31 minutes during Saturday's 116-110 loss to Memphis.

Vucevic didn't have his best shooting effort and had all sorts of problems dealing with Steven Adams, to the point that he needed 17 shots just to score 11 points. He still found a way to deliver his fifth straight double-double, but there's no doubt he can perform better on offense. Vucevic is averaging a double-double this month, putting up 22.0 points and 12.8 rebounds per game across 12 February contests.

Vucevic totaled 12 points (4-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals across 35 minutes during Thursday's 112-108 win over the Hawks.

Vucevic registered his fourth straight double-double and picked up right where he left off before the All-Star break. He did struggle with his shooting touch in the win, but he made up for it on the glass and on the defensive end, swatting away two shots for his fifth multi-block performance of February.

Vucevic accumulated 21 points (8-18 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and two steals over 38 minutes during Wednesday's victory over the Kings.

Vucevic was able to score 20 points for the fourth consecutive game and he managed to notch his third consecutive double-double. One concerning note as of late has been his three-point shooting as he has now hit just 4 of his last 24 attempts from deep. The veteran center will now look ahead to keeping the streaking Bulls on track after the All-Star break.

Vucevic posted 25 points (12-24 FG, 1-7 3Pt), 16 rebounds, five assists and one block in 36 minutes during Monday's 120-109 win over the Spurs.

Vucevic finished with at least 25 points, 15 rebounds and five assists for just the second time this season. Through the first nine games of February, the talented big man has averaged 24.4 points, 13.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.4 blocks in 36.2 minutes. Vucevic will look to continue his stellar play Thursday against the Kings, which is the Bulls' last contest before the All-Star break.

Vucevic scored 31 points (14-25 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT) while adding 15 rebounds, two steals and two blocks in 36 minutes during Saturday's 106-101 win over the Thunder.

He couldn't find his shot from downtown, but otherwise it was an excellent performance for the veteran center. The double-double was the 32nd of the season for Vucevic, putting him fifth in the league in that category, and he's scored in double digits in 15 straight games, averaging 22.4 points, 12.9 boards, 3.8 assists, 1.5 threes and 1.3 blocks over that stretch.

Vucevic (hip) is available for Saturday's game against the Thunder.

With Zach LaVine (knee) out, Vucevic should handle more usage than usual. This month, he's averaged 23.4 points, 13.0 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.4 blocks in 36.3 minutes.

Vucevic (hip) is probable for Saturday's game against the Thunder.

Vucevic played through a hip injury during Friday's win over Minnesota and logged 26 points, eight rebounds and seven assists in 35 minutes. It appears likely that he'll be available for the second half of the back-to-back set.

Vucevic totaled 26 points (11-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and seven assists in 35 minutes during Friday's 134-122 victory over the Timberwolves.

Vucevic was one of the standout performers for Chicago, and the big man is on a tear right now since he's finally putting up the kind of numbers he was delivering when he was with Orlando. Vucevic has 11 double-doubles over his last 14 games and is averaging 21.8 points, 12.7 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.2 blocks per game in that stretch.

Vucevic (hip) is available for Friday's game against Minnesota.

Vucevic dealt with a bruised left hip ahead of Friday's matchup but will be able to play through the issue. He's averaged 24.0 points, 13.8 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 36.8 minutes per game across his last five appearances.

Vucevic is probable for Friday's game against the Timberwolves due to a bruised left hip.

Vucevic continues to play well, and the bruised hip isn't expected to slow him down. Over the past 15 games, he's averaged 20.9 points, 12.4 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.3 blocks in 35.3 minutes.

Vucevic supplied 18 points (9-13 FG), 15 rebounds, eight assists and three blocks over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 121-109 win over the Hornets. He also had four turnovers.

Vucevic co-led Chicago in minutes played, scored at will and logged a team-high eight assists. Flirting with a triple-double amid 15-15 production is prolific. Vucevic has also graded as a positive defender this season and has been a rock in Chicago's lineup.

Vucevic finished Sunday's 119-108 loss to the 76ers with 23 points (8-18 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds and five assists in 36 minutes.

Vucevic scored 20-plus points for the fourth time over his last five games, but it wasn't enough, as Joel Embiid dominated him on the other end with a 40-point double-double. Over his last five contests, the veteran big man has averaged 26.2 points, 13.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.6 blocks in 35.8 minutes per game. He'll look to shake off the matchup with Embiid and continue his strong play against the Suns on Monday. If Zach LaVine (back) and Coby White (groin) are sidelined again, Vucevic is a likely candidate to score 20-plus points once again.

Vucevic recorded 36 points (16-21 FG, 1-2 3PT, 3-7 FT), 17 rebounds, four assists and three blocks across 37 minutes in Friday's 122-115 victory over the Pacers.

Vucevic's points and rebounds were both good enough for a team-high. The big man has been in a groove recently, averaging 25.2 points, 14.0 rebounds, 3.4 asissts, 1.6 blocks and 1.4 triples across 36.0 minutes in his previous five games. He'll look to carry that momentum into Sunday's matchup against Joel Embiid and the 76ers.

Vucevic ended with 18 points (8-17 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists and three blocks in 35 minutes during Tuesday's 126-115 win over the Magic.

Vucevic was cold from beyond the arc, failing to make a three for the first time since Jan. 12. However, he made up for it with great rebounding and three blocks -- one short of matching his season high.

Vucevic notched 24 points (11-15 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 32 minutes during Sunday's 130-116 victory over the Trail Blazers.

On an afternoon when DeMar Derozan (23 points) and Zach LaVine (20 points) also scored in double figures, Vucevic led the way for Chicago in the blowout victory. Vucevic has only scored 20-plus points twice in his last six games, but he's been a monster on the glass and continues to be a solid source of assists for a big man.

Vucevic registered 17 points (8-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt), 15 rebounds and eight assists across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 111-105 victory over Toronto.

Vucevic was phenomenal in the victory, falling just two assists short of a triple-double. While the lack of defensive contributions cannot go unnoticed, his efficiency from the floor bucks the trend he has set for himself this season. With Lonzo Ball and Alex Caruso both on the shelf for an extended period of time, it is highly possible Vucevic takes on more of a facilitation role moving forward. This could have a two-pronged effect on both his field goal percentage and his assist numbers.

Vucevic (knee) will play Wednesday against the Raptors, Cody Westerlund of 670TheScore.com reports.

Vucevic was probable for Wednesday's contest so it's no surprise he'll be suiting up for Chicago. He's averaged 17.8 points, 12.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.6 blocks across the past five games.

Vucevic is probable for Wednesday's matchup against the Raptors due to a left patella contusion.

Vucevic hasn't missed a game since late November, and that probably won't change Wednesday. He's double-doubled in four straight contests, with averages of 20.5 points, 12.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.5 blocks in 35.3 minutes.

Vucevic logged 26 points (10-18 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 15 rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal in 39 minutes during Monday's 111-110 win over Oklahoma City.

Vucevic, despite coming into the game under an injury cloud, turned in a fantastic multi-cat performance in the narrow victory. While it has been a somewhat underwhelming campaign thus far, the Bulls are going to need Vucevic to turn back the clock on a regular basis should they hope to maintain their current trajectory. His main issue this season has been his lack of efficiency from the field. If he can return to his career numbers, his overall value should subsequently increase.

Vucevic (knee) is starting Monday's game against the Thunder.

Vucevic was previously considered questionable due to a left bruised knee, but the team has cleared him ahead of Monday's matchup. He's averaging 17.4 points, 10.7 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.2 blocks through 12 games in January.

Vucevic is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Thunder due to a bruised left knee, Rob Schaefer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

The big man took a hit to the knee during Sunday's blowout loss to the Magic, but he was able to play through the issue to finish with 13 points, 13 rebounds and three assists in 30 minutes. It's possible the Bulls could hold him out on the second half of the back-to-back, in which case Tony Bradley and Tyler Cook would be in line for increased minutes.

Vucevic had 13 points (4-19 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 13 rebounds and three assists over 30 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 114-95 loss to the Magic.

Vucevic was forced to leave the game briefly, but his injury was minor enough to allow his return to action. The Bulls can't afford to lose any more staters at the moment after going 1-6 over their last seven games.

Vucevic accumulated 24 points (11-21 FG, 2-6 3Pt), 12 rebounds, three assists and one block over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 117-104 win over the Cavaliers.

Vucevic continues to produce, and the fact that both Zach LaVine (knee) and Lonzo Ball (knee) are out automatically translates into a bigger role for the former Magic big man. The veteran only has two double-doubles over his last six games, but he's averaging 18.8 points, 9.2 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.3 blocks and 1.0 steals per game in that span.

Vucevic accumulated 27 points (12-20 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, six assists, one block and two steals over 35 minutes during Saturday's 114-112 loss to Boston.

Vucevic is one of the players that is expected to be benefited from Zach LaVine's absence due to a knee injury, though the big man has been experiencing a revival of late following a slow start to the campaign. Vucevic has scored 19 or more points in three of his last four contests and is averaging 18.3 points and 10.3 rebounds per matchup across eight January games.

Vucevic ended with 19 points (9-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt), 14 rebounds, five assists and three blocks in 30 minutes during Friday's 138-96 loss to the Warriors.

Although the Bulls' offense largely struggled in Friday's blowout loss, Vucevic was a bright spot with a team-high 14 rebounds en route to his first double-double since Jan. 7. He's made seven appearances since the start of January and has averaged 17.0 points, 10.9 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 32.3 minutes per game during that time.

Vucevic recorded 22 points (10-18 FG, 2-4 3Pt), eight rebounds, four assists and two steals over 27 minutes during Tuesday's 133-87 win over the Pistons.

Vucevic had one of his most complete performances since joining the Bulls nearly 12 months ago, and he showed glimpses of the offensive force he was during his Orlando days. The big man endured a slow start to the season but seems to be trending back in the right direction of late, posting eight double-doubles over his last 11 appearances. He is averaging 17.5 points and 13.1 rebounds per game in that stretch.

Vucevic closed with 22 points (9-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and one block over 35 minutes during Saturday's 120-119 victory over Washington.

While Vucevic is not going to handle the volume of touches he had when he was the go-to player in Orlando, he's turning things around after a slow start to the season and managed to extend his double-double streak to five contests. The big man is averaging 17.9 points and 11.8 rebounds per game since the beginning of December.

Vucevic compiled 14 points (6-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt), 16 rebounds and four assists in 34 minutes during Friday's 108-106 win over Indiana.

Vucevic led the Bulls in rebounds once again Friday and has now posted double-doubles in five of his last six appearances. He's averaged 17.8 points and 14.5 rebounds in 33.2 minutes per game across that span.

Vucevic totaled 16 points (8-14 FG, 0-3 3Pt), 20 rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 131-117 victory over the Hawks.

Vucevic is surging right now, turning things around after a slow start to the season. His numbers have been lofty, to say the least over the past few games, a situation that feels somewhat unsustainable. While it does feel as though he is going to come up short when compared to his preseason ADP, Vucevic is a known commodity and so managers should be pretty comfortable that he maintains steady form the rest of the way.

Vucevic logged 24 points (9-19 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 17 rebounds, six assists and four blocks in 34 minutes during Monday's 130-118 victory over the Hawks.

Recording a strong plus-15 during his time on the floor, Vucevic compiled a gigantic night. His coupled his double-double with a good passing night as well as a season-high four blocks. Vucevic will look to replicate this performance in a rematch with the Hawks on Wednesday.

Vucevic ended with 16 points (7-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt), 15 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals across 33 minutes during Sunday's 113-105 win over the Pacers.

Vucevic had his battle with COVID-19 back in mid-November, so he was one of only a handful of Bulls players who managed to avoid health and safety protocols prior to the holiday weekend. However, due to some postponements, this was his first game since Dec. 20 against Houston, but he didn't look rusty, as he piled up his fourth double-double in the last six games. The big man notched multiple blocks and multiple steals in the same game for the first time since Nov. 27 and for just the fourth time this season.

Vucevic and the Bulls will not play Wednesday against Toronto after the game was postponed, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Both teams are dealing with a number of COVID-related absences, but the Raptors have been hit particularly hard of late, as they currently have eight players in the league's health and safety protocols. The postponement means the Bulls, who last played Monday against Houston, will be off for five consecutive days leading up to Sunday's contest against the Pacers. By that point, Chicago could get several key pieces, including Zach LaVine and Ayo Dosunmu, back from COVID-19 protocols.

Vucevic racked up 19 points (8-17 FG, 3-6 3Pt), 13 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Sunday's 115-110 victory over Los Angeles.

Vucevic has been very vocal about his struggles and while he's not expected to put up the same numbers he had when he was the go-to player on offense for the Magic, he's been turning things around of late. The big man has scored at least 18 points in five of his last seven appearances while also recording four double-doubles over that span.

Vucevic and the Bulls won't play again until at least Sunday against the Lakers after the NBA officially postponed Chicago's upcoming games Tuesday against Detroit and Thursday against Toronto in the wake of the team's COVID-19 outbreak, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

The Bulls have 10 players currently in COVID-19 health and safety protocols and another out with a long-term injury (Patrick Williams), so the league elected to postpone the team's next two games, as Chicago is in danger of not having the minimum number of active players (eight) for either contest. At this stage, the Bulls' next game will come against the Lakers on Sunday, when the NBA is hopeful Chicago will have enough players available who have cleared the necessary protocols and regained conditioning. With Vucevic on track to play just one game this week, fantasy managers in weekly leagues should remove him from lineups.

Vucevic totaled 10 points (3-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Saturday's 118-92 loss to Miami.

Vucevic shot just 20 percent from the field, summing up what was a night to forget for the Bulls. After a somewhat slow start to the season, Vucevic has been able to slowly turn things around of late. Fantasy managers will be hoping this is merely a bump in the road and that he will be able to get things back on track sooner rather than later.

Vucevic registered 27 points (10-18 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block over 34 minutes during Thursday's 119-115 win over the Knicks.

Vucevic nearly repeated his season-best performance from Monday (30 points) with another strong and efficient showing. His usage rate is at its lowest since his rookie year, construing this as a viable sell-high point for Vucevic. However, even with the sharing that must be done, his floor is solid in the Bulls fantasy-friendly offense.

Vucevic finished Monday's 133-119 victory over the Hornets with 30 points (12-19 FG, 6-6 3Pt), 14 rebounds, five assists and two blocks over 35 minutes.

Vucevic has struggled to find his footing in the Bulls offense and at one point this season he looked like the team's fourth option behind DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine and Lonzo Ball, but he has been turning things around of late. The Montenegrin big man has five double-doubles over his last seven appearances and has scored in double digits six times during that span. He's averaging 13.6 points and 11.3 rebounds per game across nine November appearances.

Vucevic finished with 14 points (6-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt), 13 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 118-113 loss to the Rockets.

Vucevic has been relegated to a secondary role in the Bulls' offense this season and while his shooting performance wasn't good in this one -- given he needed 16 shots just to score 14 points -- he supplied that lack of efficiency with a double-double and solid numbers across the board. He's not going to put the same numbers he had in his Orlando days, though, but he can deliver a strong game from time to time.

Vucevic (COVID-19 protocols) will play and see limited minutes Wednesday against the Rockets, Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Vucevic has missed the past seven games due to protocols, so he'll be eased back into a full workload. Though he's been struggling shooting the ball this season, he'll be a welcome sight for a Bulls team short on depth.

Vucevic (COVID-19 protocols) is questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Rockets.

Vucevic tested positive for the coronavirus Nov. 11 and has been sidelined since. As of Nov. 21, head coach Billy Donovan said the veteran center had yet to return consecutive negative COVID-19 test results, according to Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune. However, his questionable status suggests that he has now cleared protocols and needs to regain his conditioning before returning to game action. If he misses his eighth straight game Wednesday, then his next opportunity to return would be Friday, when the Bulls start a stretch of three games in four days.

Vucevic (COVID-19 health and safety protocols) will remain out for Sunday's game against the Knicks.

Vucevic has now missed the requisite 10 days since testing positive for the coronavirus Nov. 11, but as of Friday, head coach Billy Donovan said the veteran center had yet to return consecutive negative COVID-19 test results, according to Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune. While he'll be eligible to rejoin the Bulls as soon as he clears the testing protocol, Vucevic may need extra time to build up his conditioning, given that he was returning positive tests for more than a week. Vucevic can probably be ruled out for the second half of a back-to-back set Monday against the Pacers, but he could make his return as soon as Wednesday in Houston.

Vucevic entered health and safety protocols Thursday after testing positive for the virus, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. He will miss at least 10 days.

This is a significant hit to the Bulls, who are playing exceptionally and are second in the Eastern Conference before Thursday's games. However, Chicago has a thin bench, and Tony Bradley will likely be starting at center with no real centers behind him. In addition to Bradley seeing more action, Alize Johnson, Derrick Jones and Javonte Green could see more minutes. There's always a chance rookie Marko Simonovic gets in the mix. He's played well in two G League appearances.

Vucevic ended with 18 points (8-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 117-107 win over the Mavericks.

Vucevic has five double-doubles over his last six games, but it seems he hasn't quite found his role offensively yet. The fact that this 18-point output represents his second-best scoring tally of the season suggests he's not going to be more than a complementary option in an offense led by DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine, so Vucevic will have to contribute in other areas to remain the strong fantasy asset he's been over the last few seasons.

Vucevic has averaged 9.3 points, 11.0 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.3 blocks over the past four games.

The big man cannot find his touch offensively. He's shooting 35.4 percent from the field during this stretch and hasn't taken a free throw. Vucevic will find the net eventually, but he's taking just 14.3 shots per game compared to last season's mark of 19.9, so his upside is clearly diminished compared to 2020-21. On a positive note, he's in line for a career high in assists (4.3).

Vucevic ended with 16 points (4-19 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Saturday's 107-99 victory over Utah.

Vucevic was simply a victim of the Gobert-effect, as he was stifled on the offensive end. However, despite the shooting woes, Vucevic still managed to finish with a nice performance, and more importantly, the Bulls walked away with the victory. He is no longer the go-to option on offense and so there have been some inconsistencies in his production. That said, he remains an elite big-man and should have no problem finishing as a top-10 center again this season.

Vucevic racked up 22 points (8-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and a steal over 36 minutes on Thursday in the Bulls' 104-103 loss to the Knicks.

Despite being surrounded by ball-dominant guards, Vucevic managed to lead Chicago in assists tonight. Upon being traded to the Bulls, Vucevic did average 3.9 assists per contest -- which would've been a career high if extrapolated to a full season. Additionally, Thursday marked his first game connecting on multiple threes this season. Vucevic has been a fringe top-10 fantasy center thus far.

Vucevic (illness) will be available for Monday's game at Toronto.

The big man has been dealing with a non-COVID illness that kept him out of shootaround, but it looks like he's made enough progress over the last few hours that he'll give it a go. Given that he'll likely be playing at well below 100 percent health, Vucevic makes for a bit of a risky play in DFS contests.

Vucevic (illness) did not participate in shootaround and will be a game-time call for Monday's matchup against Toronto, KC Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

The fact that he wasn't able to go through shootaround is not encouraging, but the Bulls will give Vucevic some more time to recuperate before making a final call on his status. If he's unable to go, Chicago will likely turn to Alize Johnson or Tony Bradley for most of the minutes at center. Johnson has played a total of 32 minutes through the first three games, while Bradley has already picked up a pair of DNP-CDs.

Vucevic is dealing with an illness and is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Raptors.

The Bulls will presumably wait and see how Vucevic recovers over the afternoon before updating his status shortly before Monday's 7:30 p.m. ET tipoff. Through his first three outings of the season, Vucevic has generated 13.3 points, 12.7 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 2.0 steals, 1.7 blocks and 1.0 three-pointer in 33.3 minutes per contest. Chicago would likely lean more heavily on small-ball lineups if Vucevic can't go Monday.

Vucevic recorded 15 points (6-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 19 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and two steals across 33 minutes in Saturday's win over the Pistons.

This was Vucevic's best game of the season and it was his second double-double out of three appearances, but he's yet to score more than 15 points in a game and hasn't been able to find his footing in an offense that now features Lonzo Ball and DeMar DeRozan to go along Zach LaVine. Vucevic has also struggled from the field and is only shooting 35.4 percent from the field -- and 25 percent from three-point range -- thus far.

Vucevic finished Wednesday's season-opening win over the Pistons with 15 points (7-21 FG, 1-4 3Pt), 15 rebounds and four assists in 36 minutes.

The veteran center had an uncharacteristically poor shooting performance after shooting 47.7 percent from the field and 40.0 from three last season. His struggles mainly came from in-close as he missed several open shots from right around the hoop. The big-man did lead the team in shots, however, which is promising for his production considering the offseason arrivals of offensive stars Lonzo Ball and DeMar DeRozan. Overall, nights like these don't come often for the two-time all-star, and he figures to get right back to his usual production on Friday against the Pelicans.

Vucevic averaged 14.8 points, 9.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.3 steals in 28.2 minutes during his four preseason appearances.

It was business as usual for Vucevic, who is surrounded by more talent in Chicago this season than ever before in his career. He went a disappointing 1-for-16 from distance, but that should clean up in the regular season.

Vucevic (rest) will not play Sunday against the Bucks.

Vucevic will be rested in the last game of the regular season and it will mark just the third game he's missed this year. Thaddeus Young and Lauri Markkanen could see increased workloads for Sunday's game.

Vucevic tallied 10 points (4-18 FG, 0-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and one block in 30 minutes during Saturday's 105-91 loss to the Nets.

The 30-year-old has now posted 11 straight double-doubles, a span in which he's averaging 20.5 points, 14.3 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 2.1 three-pointers and 0.6 blocks. Despite Chicago being eliminated from play-in tournament contention, Vucevic is still producing elite stats for his fantasy managers. The 10-year center will look to end the regular season on a high note Sunday at home against the third-seeded Bucks.

Vucevic recorded 16 points (7-19 FG, 2-7 3Pt), 16 rebounds and six assists across 32 minutes in Thursday's 114-102 win over the Raptors.

Although Vucevic continues to struggle with his shooting stroke, he recorded his 10th-straight double-double in the win. Vucevic's arrival ushered in a bit of a renaissance in the Bulls' offensive attack, and the team is playing some of their best ball of the season now that the standout center and Zach LaVine are sharing the stage again.

Vucevic had just 12 points (5-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt) to go with 12 rebounds and six assists in Tuesday's loss to the Nets.

It was a nightmare shooting game for the big man, who was coming off of a 29-point, 16-rebound game against Detroit on Sunday. He was just 3-of-12 from two-point range while failing to get to the free throw line for the third time in four games. Vucevic salvaged a decent fantasy line with the 12 boards and six assists, but he did not record a block or steal for the first time since April 24.

Vucevic posted 29 points (14-27 FG, 1-8 3Pt), 16 rebounds, two assists and one block across 36 minutes Sunday in the Bulls' 108-96 win over the Pistons.

The surging Bulls are 3-0 since both Vucevic and Zach LaVine returned to the lineup for two- and 11-game absences, respectively. Unsurprisingly, the two co-stars have done the heavy lifting for Chicago during the winning streak, with Vucevic turning in averages of 25.3 points (on 49.3 percent shooting from the field), 14.7 boards, 5.0 assists, 2.7 three-pointers, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks in 33.0 minutes over those three contests. Since the Bulls are still trailing the Pacers by 2.5 games for the final spot in the Eastern Conference play-in tournament, Vucevic should be a good bet to suit up and handle his typical minute loads in all four of Chicago's remaining regular-season games.

Vucevic produced 18 points (7-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT, 14 rebounds, 10 assists, two steals and a block across 32 minutes in Friday's 121-99 win over the Celtics.

Zach LaVine's return to the lineup helps everyone, but it's especially beneficial to Vucevic, who has had to carry a massive load during his absence. The Bulls are a transformed team with a bonafide big man at the five, and his solid contribution has actually given his team an outside shot at the play-in game.

Vucevic totaled 29 points (12-24 FG, 5-7 3Pt), 14 rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block in a 120-99 victory over the Hornets on Thursday.

Vucevic returned from a two-game absence due to a hip injury and picked up right where he left off, recording his sixth consecutive double-double. Zach LaVine also returned to the lineup for Chicago, but it was Vucevic that led the team offensively. The center has averaged 23.3 points, 14.7 rebounds and 4.0 assists across his last six games.

Vucevic (hip) is available for Thursday's game against the Hornets.

Vucevic had missed the last two games due to a hip injury, but he was listed as probable for Thursday's matchup. In his last five appearances, Vucevic had averaged 22.2 points, 14.8 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 35.2 minutes per game.

Vucevic (hip) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Hornets.

A hip injury has kept Vucevic out of the last two games, but he's moving in the right direction and is on course to return to action Thursday night. The Bulls are also expected to get Zach LaVine (health and safety protocols) back, so it will likely be the first game the star duo have played together since April 14.

Vucevic (hip) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the 76ers, Marc Narducci of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Vucevic has been dealing with an adductor injury over the last few days, and the issue is significant enough to keep him out of Monday's matchup. Thaddeus Young, Daniel Theis and Lauri Markkanen should be ready to handle extra minutes in Vucevic's absence.

Vucevic (adductor) is questionable for Monday's game against Philadelphia.

Vucevic was a late scratch for Saturday's game against Atlanta, but he has a chance to return Monday. If he's unable to play, Daniel Theis, Lauri Markkanen, Patrick Williams and Thaddeus Young could see increased playing time.

Vucevic (adductor) is a late scratch for Saturday's game against the Hawks, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.

With Vucevic surprisingly out of the lineup, the Bulls will need to find more frontcourt help. That could result in Daniel Theis, Lauri Markkanen, Patrick Williams or Thaddeus Young seeing more time.

Vucevic (adductor) is available for Saturday's game against the Hawks, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Vucevic will play in the second half of the Bulls' back-to-back after playing through the sore adductor in Friday's loss to the Bucks. With Lauri Markkanen (illness) returning after a one-game absence, there could be less minutes available for Thaddeus Young, Daniel Theis and Patrick Williams.

Vucevic (adductor) is questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Hawks.

Vucevic played through the sore adductor Friday against the Bucks, but he's still feeling pain. If he's forced to sit out, Thaddeus Young, Daniel Theis and Lauri Markkanen (illness) are all candidates to see more minutes.

Vucevic had 17 points (7-27 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 15 boards, four assists, one steal and one block in Friday's loss to Milwaukee.

The Bulls were unable to take advantage of Milwaukee playing without Giannis Antetokounmpo (ankle), as Vucevic struggled from the floor in 36 minutes of action. He still managed to post his fifth consecutive double-double, and he's now drained at least one three-pointer in every game since March 29.

Vucevic (hip) has been cleared to play in Friday's matchup with the Bucks.

Vucevic was considered probable heading into the evening, so no surprise here. Barring any setbacks, look for him to take on his usual workload. The big man has averaged 22.6 points, 10.9 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.0 steals in 32.6 minutes in April.

Vucevic is probable for Friday's contest against the Bucks due to right adductor tightness.

Vucevic has emerged from Wednesday's loss to the Knicks with an adductor injury, but he should play Friday. This month, he's averaged 22.6 points, 10.9 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.0 steals in 32.6 minutes.

Vucevic had 26 points (10-22 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 18 rebounds, three assists and two blocks in Wednesday's loss to the Knicks.

The Knicks took control of the game with a monster fourth quarter, but Vucevic did what he could to keep the game competitive. He was the only Bulls player to score more than 14 points en route to his fourth straight double-double. Vucevic's two rejections also snapped a four-game block-less streak.

Vucevic tallied 24 points (9-15 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Monday's 110-102 win over the Heat.

The 30-year-old has been on a roll since scoring just nine points back on April 21, averaging 22.7 points, 13.7 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 2.3 three-pointers over his last three games. Vucevic has now recorded three straight double-doubles and should continue playing between 30-35 minutes the rest of the way for the 12th-seeded Bulls.

Vucevic had 26 points (11-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 14 rebounds and six assists across 39 minutes in Saturday's loss against the Heat.

Vucevic has now posted back-to-back double-doubles since his abysmal performance Wednesday against the Cavaliers, and it seems that game was nothing more than an off night for the star big man. Vucevic is still averaging 22.2 points, 10.2 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.0 steals per game since joining the Bulls in late March.

Vucevic posted 18 points (8-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 16 rebounds and six assists across 29 minutes in Thursday's 108-91 win over the Hornets.

Vucevic came back to life after an abysmal night against the Cavaliers Wednesday night. His 16 rebounds matched his best total since joining the Bulls, a welcome sign after failing to reach double digits in the category for three consecutive games.

Vucevic registered nine points (4-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and a steal across 25 minutes in Wednesday's loss against the Cavaliers.

Vucevic had his worst game since joining the Bulls, as he failed to reach the 10-point mark for the first time this season while also logging his second-lowest mark in terms of minutes. Vucevic will try to bounce back Thursday at home against the Hornets.

Vucevic tallied 29 points (13-23 FG, 3-6 3Pt) nine rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block in 31 minutes during Monday's win over the Celtics.

The 30-year-old has now scored 20-plus points in four straight games, a span in which he's averaging 26.8 points, 10.3 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 3.5 three-pointers and 1.3 steals. Vucevic has been on a roll lately, and he should continue providing elite production in points, rebounds, field-goal percentage along with solid assists and steals the rest of the way. The 10-year should continue garnering a ton of usage with Zach LaVine (COVID-19) out at least another week.

Vucevic had 25 points (10-17 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and two steals in Saturday's win over the Cavs.

Unsurprisingly, Vucevic led the way for the Zach LaVine-less Bulls, taking 17 shots and finishing as a plus-16 in his 33 minutes of action. Over the last three games, Vucevic is putting up 26.0 points, 10.7 boards, 4.0 assists and 1.0 steal in 33.3 minutes.

Vucevic posted 24 points (9-22 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 14 rebounds and six assists across 33 minutes in Friday's loss against Memphis.

Vucevic embraced a bigger role on offense with Zach LaVine (COVID-19) out, but he responded with a stat line similar to the ones he posted when playing for the Magic before the trade deadline. The versatile big man has recorded three straight double-doubles while accomplishing that feat in seven of his last 10 outings -- he averages 22.9 points, 10.4 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.1 blocks per game in that span.

Vucevic went for 29 points (11-20 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, two blocks, an assist and a steal over 34 minutes Wednesday in the loss to the Magic.

Vucevic scored 16 of his 29 points in the first half while hitting all four of his three-point attempts. He and Zach LaVine combined for 59 of the 106 total points the Bulls put up in the losing effort. While the Bulls have not fared well since the trade deadline, fantasy managers with Vucevic on their roster have not been disappointed. In 11 games since the trade deadline, he is averaging 22.5 points, 9.9 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.1 blocks and 1.1 steals while shooting 50.8 percent from the field.

Vucevic notched 17 points (7-19 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 10 rebounds, five steals, an assist and a block across 33 minutes in Monday's loss against the Grizzlies.

Vucevic didn't have his best shooting performance and needed 19 shots to post a 17-point performance -- that was his second lowest-scoring mark since joining the Bulls. On a positive note, however, Vucevic has been remarkably consistent with his contributions and has scored at least 15 points in 26 straight contests, reaching the 20-point plateau 20 times and recording 16 double-doubles during that stretch.

Vucevic had 18 points (7-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, five assists and three blocks in Sunday's loss to Minnesota.

Zach LaVine's 30 points led the way for Chicago on a night when the Bulls had nine players see at least 19 minutes of action. Vucevic's 27 minutes tied for his third-lowest total of the season. The big man will look to bounce back Monday night in Memphis.

Vucevic totaled 25 points (11-19 FG, 3-5 3Pt), 10 rebounds, two assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Friday's loss to the Hawks.

Vucevic and Zach LaVine combined for 75 of the 108 points scored by the Bulls in the loss. Vucevic has now topped the 20-point mark in seven of eight games since being traded to Chicago while recording double-doubles in four of those contests. Over his past three outings, Vucevic has hit 50 percent or better from beyond the arc.

Vucevic totaled 22 points (9-19 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal across 32 minutes in Thursday's 122-113 win over the Raptors.

Vucevic's two-game double-double streak was snapped in the contest, but he still tied for the team lead with 22 points while pulling down seven boards. He again demonstrated an efficient stroke from deep, going 3-for-6 from beyond the arc after converting 4-of-7 attempts in his previous game. Since joining the Bulls, the veteran center has scored 20-plus points in six of his seven contests while averaging 10.4 boards per game.

Vucevic recorded 32 points (14-29 FG, 4-7 3Pt), 17 rebounds, five assists and one block in 35 minutes during Tuesday's 113-97 win over the Pacers.

The Bulls weren't shy about feeding the big man in what was his best performance as a member of the Bulls. Previously with Chicago, he had averaged just 15.6 shots per game, but he nearly doubled that Tuesday. His 29 attempts tied a season high that he's reached two other times. He also grabbed 17 rebounds for the first time since March 11.

Vucevic recorded 22 points (10-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocked shots across 32 minutes in Sunday's 115-107 win over the Nets.

Vucevic hasn't missed a beat since leaving Orlando, as he continues to rack up double-doubles on the regular. His new environment seems to be an excellent fit, and he's now one half of a power duo with Zach LaVine. This one-two combo could result in a few more wins than expected for the Bulls, who are currently outside looking in for a playoff spot. Managers of Vucecic have to be encouraged by the continued steadiness (and potential increase) of production.

Vucevic finished Wednesday's loss to the Suns with 24 points (8-18 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, two steals and a block in 34 minutes.

While the Bulls were without Zach LaVine (ankle) for this one, it hasn't exactly been a rollicking start to the Vucevic era, as Chicago took its fifth straight loss and fell to 0-3 since the big man arrived from Orlando. Numbers-wise, Vucevic has been just fine -- 22.0 PPG, 9.3 RPG, 4.0 APG -- though his rebounding is slightly down relative to his final stretch of games in a Magic uniform.

Vucevic had 21 points (9-13 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and a block across 27 minutes in Monday's loss at Golden State.

Vucevic has now posted back-to-back 21-point performances since joining the Bulls, and in both games, he's ended just one rebound shy of putting up a double-double. While he might experience a slight dip in his scoring figures due to the presence of Zach LaVine, Vucevic should remain a valuable asset across all formats while working as the Bulls' second-best offensive threat.

Vucevic registered 21 points (9-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds and four assists in 31 minutes during Saturday's 120-104 loss to the Spurs.

The 30-year-old didn't waste any time acclimating with his new team, racking up 21 points, nine rebounds and four assists. Before tonight's game, Vucevic was averaging a career-high 24.5 points and 2.7 three-pointers to go along with 11.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists on 48.0 percent shooting from the field in 44 games with Orlando. The 10-year center should play heavy minutes the rest of the way for a Bulls team that's only 1.5 games back behind the Heat for the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference.

Vucevic (recently traded) will play Saturday against the Spurs.

Moving on from the Magic during a career-best season, Vucevic will become the Bulls' starting center as soon as Saturday. Now having to share offensive responsibilities with Zach LaVine, we may see Vucevic's usage decrease. That said, he should still see plenty of looks in an offense that can struggle with consistency issues outside of LaVine.

The Bulls acquired Vucevic and Al-Farouq Aminu from the Magic on Thursday in exchange for Wendell Carter, Otto Porter and two future first-round picks, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Orlando had made it known that it would take a major offer ahead of the trade deadline for the team to part ways with Vucevic, and Chicago stepped up to the table to send over a package that includes both draft capital and a young asset in Carter. As he heads to Chicago, Vucevic's fantasy outlook shouldn't take too significant of a hit, though he may have to sacrifice some usage while playing alongside an All-Star talent in Zach LaVine. Vucevic had been in the midst of a career-best season in Orlando, averaging 24.5 points, 11.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 2.7 three-pointers, 1.0 steals and 0.6 blocks in 34.1 minutes per game while shooting 48 percent from the field.

Vucevic scored 18 points (8-25 FG, 2-8 3Pt) to go along with seven rebounds, two assists and one block across 34 minutes in Tuesday's loss to the Nuggets.

Vucevic's run of struggles from the field continued, as he's shot just 37.1 percent in his last four games. He's still managed to score 19.9 points per contest in that span due to the volume he is able to command in the team's offense. Aside from his poor shooting, Vucevic as continued to produce elsewhere in the box score, nabbing double-digit boards in four of his last five games while also averaging 4.6 assists.

Vucevic scored a team-high 22 points (9-20 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT) while adding 13 rebounds and three assists in 37 minutes during Sunday's 112-96 loss to the Celtics.

The veteran center delivered his fourth straight double-double and 29th of the season, but Vucevic once again didn't get enough support from the rest of the Magic roster. He's averaging an impressive 25.9 points, 12.9 boards, 4.8 assists and 2.9 threes through eight games in March.

Vucevic finished with 22 points (8-24 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 14 boards, eight assists, two steals, and one block in 39 minutes of a 121-113 win against the Nets on Friday.

Vucevic fell two assists shy of a triple-double in his effort, recording his third straight double-double and fourth in his last five games. It wasn't Vucevic's most effective night shooting, but his high assist total was a bonus for a night when he struggled from the field. He'll face the Celtics on Sunday.

Vucevic put up 17 points (8-20 FG, 1-6 3Pt), 16 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and a steal in Thursday's loss to the Knicks.

Vucevic failed to attempt a free throw for the second time in three games, but he continues to be among the most dependable big men in all of fantasy basketball. His 17 points Thursday snapped a 10-game streak of at least 20 points, during which he posted averages of 29.5 points, 11.7 rebounds and 4.6 assists.

Vucevic had 38 points (15-27 FG, 6-13 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists and two steals across 38 minutes in Sunday's loss to the Heat.

The Magic struggled badly on offense Sunday, but Vucevic came through for the team and kept the team alive until the dying minutes almost single-handedly. This was Vucevic's third-best scoring output of the season, but he's certainly no stranger to put up big numbers on any given night. He's already racked up 30 or more points in nine different games.

Vucevic totaled 26 points (12-18 FG, 2-2 3Pt), nine rebounds and three assists across 29 minutes in Friday's 104-77 loss to the Spurs.

Vucevic and Dwayne Bacon were the only Orlando players to register double-digit scoring totals in the blowout. The standout center came just shy of a double-double and did all he could, but the team was woefully short-handed and had no answer for the Spurs.

Vucevic totaled 24 points (10-20 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 17 rebounds and three assists across 34 minutes during Thursday's loss to the Heat.

After enjoying his second All-Star appearance, Vucevic continued with his impressive season. He's now grabbed at least 15 rebounds in a game nine times in 37 games after doing so just seven times across 62 outings last year. He's also topped 20 points now in eight straight contests.

Vucevic scored 29 points (10-21 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 7-7 FT) to go along with nine rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in Orlando's 115-112 loss to Atlanta on Wednesday.

It was a tough loss for the Magic, as they led by 19 at the break thanks to 18 first-half points from Vucevic. The center has been fantastic throughout the first half of the season, but he has really picked up his scoring of late. Over his last seven games, Vucevic has scored 29.6 points per game while also adding 11.6 rebounds and 4.9 assists. The next stop for Vucevic is his second All-Star game, which was well-deserved after averaging 24.6 points, 11.6 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game this season.

Vucevic notched 29 points (12-24 FG, 5-8 3Pt), 15 rebounds and eight assists across 35 minutes in Monday's loss against the Mavericks.

Vucevic ended just two dimes away of what would've been his second triple-double over his last six appearances, and the Montenegrin big man has been a dominant presence on both ends of the court for the Magic all season long. He has scored at least 20 points in six straight contests and in nine of his last 11 appearances while grabbing double-digit rebounds eight times during that 11-game span.

Vucevic delivered 34 points (14-26 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, a steal and a block across 35 minutes in Saturday's loss against the Jazz.

The Magic looked outmatched on both ends of the court and Vucevic had a tough assignment since he had to deal with Rudy Gobert on both ends of the court, but that didn't stop the Montenegrin big man from delivering another impressive output on both ends of the court. Vucevic has scored 25-plus points in four of his last five games and also has four double-doubles in that stretch, so his role as Orlando's go-to player offensively won't be under threat any time soon.

Vucevic posted 28 points (12-23 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 12 rebounds and two assists across 32 minutes during Thursday's 129-92 loss to the Nets.

Vucevic was his normal efficient self in this blowout loss, but his teammates unfortunately did not join him as no other Orlando player managed more than 15 points. The 6-foot-11 center had a bit better showing from downtown after recent struggles that saw him shooting 21.2 percent on 6.6 hoists from deep over his previous five games. Vucevic is shooting 40 percent from downtown this season, the best mark of his career.

Vucevic finished with 20 points (9-22 FG, 2-8 3Pt), nine boards, four assists, and two blocks in 33 minutes of a 105-93 loss to Detroit on Tuesday.

Vucevic managed to lead his team in scoring despite overcoming an injury that sent him to the locker room mid-game. It was a rough night shooting for the USC product, and was the first time in three games he scored fewer than 30 points. He'll face the Nets on Thursday.

Vucevic (undisclosed) will start the second half of Tuesday's game against the Pistons, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Vucevic limped to the locker room just before halftime. After some medical staff presumably checked him out, he's been deemed good to go for the second half.

Vucevic limped to the locker room during the second quarter of Tuesday's game against the Pistons, Keith Smith of Yahoo Sports reports.

The game went to halftime shortly after Vucevic left the court, so he'll likely be looked at by team medical personnel before determining if he can come out for the second half. If he misses time, Mo Bamba and Khem Birch would be in line to see extra minutes.

Vucevic recorded 37 points (14-27 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and a steal across 36 minutes in Sunday's win over the Pistons.

Vucevic has been utterly dominant in recent games and he's scored 30 or more points in three of his last five contests while notching three double-doubles and one triple-double in that span. The talented big man has 22 double-doubles this season and has scored at least 15 points in all but two games during the current campaign, settling himself as the Magic's top two-way threat by a wide margin due to his versatile skill set and regular contributions on both ends of the court.

Vucevic totaled 30 points (13-23 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 16 rebounds, 10 assists, one block and one steal across 39 minutes in Friday's win over the Warriors.

Friday was the first triple-double of the season for Vucevic and his first since Oct. 20 of 2018. He's now hit the 30-point mark six times in 30 games this campaign after doing so just twice in 62 regular season games last year. He's also continued his domination on the boards, collecting 15 or more rebounds seven times.

Vucevic went for 16 points (8-24 FG, 0-7 3Pt), 16 rebounds, five assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Wednesday's win over the Knicks.

Vucevic has now shot under 35 percent from the floor in three of his last four games. He also failed to hit a three-pointer for the first time this season. Despite the recent shooting struggles, he is still hitting on 41.2 percent of his three-pointers and his 23.4 points per game are both tops for his career. For the month of February, Vucevic is averaging 25.6 points, 13.5 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game.

Vucevic scored 14 points (4-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT) while adding 10 rebounds, two steals and one block in 28 minutes during the Magic's 109-90 loss to the Suns on Sunday.

Despite the Magic missing several players, Vucevic still only played in 28 minutes, tied with Gary Clark for fewest among starters. Vucevic has struggled shooting the ball in two of his last three games. Still, his February has been extremely beneficial for fantasy managers as he is averaging 27.0 points, 13.1 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.0 steals per game while shooting 49.7 percent from the field and 40.4 percent from three-point range.

Vucevic totaled 42 points (17-22 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and two steals in a 123-112 victory versus Sacramento on Friday.

Vucevic's scoring barrage was especially impressive given the fact that he needed only 22 shots to reach the lofty point total. The big man wasn't just pouring it in from the post; he tied a career high with six three-pointers to extend his streak to 27 straight games with at least one made trey to begin the season. He's on pace to obliterate his career-best marks with 24.0 points and 2.7 three-pointers per game while also averaging 11.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.1 steals.

Vucevic logged 25 points (8-23 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 13 rebounds and five assists across 38 minutes in Thursday's 111-104 loss to the Warriors.

As expected, Vucevic was one of the best fantasy plays at center in Thursday's slate, and he continues to deliver substantial numbers while Aaron Gordon recovers. Over the past five games, he's averaging a whopping 26.6 points, 14.6 rebounds and 3.6 assists.

Vucevic registered 27 points (10-21 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-9 FT), 15 rebounds, four assists, two steals and two blocks across 41 minutes in Tuesday's loss against the Trail Blazers.

Vucevic carried with the Magic's offense one more time, as he made a big impact in the game while contributed on both sides of the ball. He did an excellent job of filling out the stat sheet, but his efforts weren't enough for the Magic to get the win.

Vucevic scored 17 points (7-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) to go along with eight rebounds, one assist, one steal and two blocks across 24 minutes in Saturday's loss to the Bulls.

Vucevic didn't play at all in the fourth quarter as the Magic were being blown out on the second night of a back-to-back. His performance was relatively solid given the reduced workload, though he failed to convert efficiently from beyond the arc. Through 24 games, Vucevic is averaging a career-best 23.1 points and 11.4 rebounds and will remain the centerpiece of the Magic's offense.

Vucevic went for 43 points (17-29 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 19 rebounds, four assists and one block over 37 minutes during Friday's win over the Bulls.

Vucevic was able to get to the free throw line with 2.6 seconds left and made both at the charity stripe to not only ice the win for the Magic, but also gave him his career-best 43 points. Since having perhaps the worst game of the season against the Clippers on Jan. 29, Vucevic has put up averages of 26.3 points, 17.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game on 44.6 percent shooting.

Vucevic accumulated 21 points (9-19 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 18 rebounds and four assists over 37 minutes Tuesday in the Magic's 123-108 loss to the Raptors.

Vucevic's 18 rebounds were a season-high and he was able to snap a mini two-game streak scoring under 20 points during Tuesday's loss. While the L's continue to pile on for the Magic, Vucevic continues to record double-doubles as he now has 15 in 22 games.

Vucevic recorded 15 points (5-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 14 rebounds, four assists, two steals and one block over 35 minutes in Sunday's 115-102 loss to Toronto.

Vucevic wasn't efficient from the floor Sunday, but he still finished second on the team in scoring while leading the Magic with 14 rebounds. He's converted on just 29 percent of his field goal attempts over the past two games, but he's posted double-doubles in four of the last six matchups and has still been a top contributor despite hie recent inefficiency.

Vucevic scored 26 points (11-18 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and added nine rebounds and two assists over 33 minutes in Tuesday's 121-107 loss to the Kings.

Vucevic has continued to score by the bunches, hitting the 20-point plateau now in 14 of 19 games this season. As a result, he is averaging a career-high 23.6 points per game. While Vucevic did not record a double-double, it's just the third time in his last 11 games he has failed to do so.

Vucevic scored a game-high 28 points (11-23 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT) while adding 12 rebounds, seven assists and a steal in 36 minutes during Monday's 117-108 win over the Hornets.

The veteran big man reeled off his third straight double-double and 12th of the year in 18 games with another big performance. Vucevic has also topped 20 points in six straight contests, averaging a mammoth 26.7 points, 11.5 boards, 4.0 assists, 3.5 threes and 1.5 steals over that stretch.

Vucevic went for 22 points (9-22 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds and four assists over 35 minutes in Sunday's 107-104 loss to the Hornets.

Sunday was the first time in five games that Vucevic failed to knock down at least 10 shots in a game. Despite that, he has now recorded five consecutive 20-point performances while also adding four double-doubles along the way. He continues to be the No. 1 option for the Magic and has now led them in both points and rebounds in eight of 17 games this season.

Vucevic went for 24 points (10-29 FG, 4-9 3Pt), 12 rebounds, two assists and two steals over 41 minutes during the Magic's 120-118 overtime loss to the Pacers on Friday.

The double-double is nothing new for Vucevic as he now has 11 of them in 16 games. What's troubling has been his shooting. In his last two games, Vucevic is shooting 37.5 percent from the floor after making 52.8 percent of his shots the first nine games of January.

Vucevic notched 28 points (11-27 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, two blocks and a steal across 43 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Timberwolves.

Vucevic continues to be the undisputed leader of the Magic's offense and, while he needed to rely on volume to make an impact here -- he needed 27 shots to score 28 points -- he still produced a strong effort on both ends of the court. Vucevic also has 10 double-doubles in 15 appearances this season.

Vucevic dropped 24 points (10-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 14 rebounds and two blocks over 36 minutes in Monday's 91-84 loss to the Knicks.

It was just another day at the office for Vucevic as he registered his 10th double-double in 14 games. The one negative to his game Monday was that he failed to register an assist for the first time this season. Since his 15-point, six-rebound performance, Vucevic is averaging 29 points and 12 rebounds while shooting 63 percent over his last two games.

Vucevic scored a team-high 34 points (14-22 FG, 6-12 3Pt) while adding 10 rebounds, seven assists and five steals in 36 minutes during Saturday's 122-115 loss to the Nets,

The points, assists, steals and made three-pointers were all season highs for Vucevic, who also delivered his ninth double-double in 13 games. The 30-year-old big continues to improve as a fantasy asset, but he isn't getting much help from the rest of the Magic roster.

Vucevic posted 15 points (6-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two steals across 26 minutes in Friday's loss to the Celtics.

Vucevic has been Orlando's top player by a wide margin this season, and this 15-point performance was his joint-lowest scoring effort of the campaign. He has also posted double-doubles in all but four of his outings, so this might have been nothing more than an off night for the talented big man. Vucevic will attempt to get back on track Saturday in another tough matchup against the Nets on the road.

Vucevic and the Magic will not play Wednesday against the Celtics after the NBA postponed the game, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

The Celtics are still dealing with COVID-related absences on the team and don't have the required number of players available to suit up. The Magic's next game is scheduled for Friday against the Celtics once again.

Vucevic went for 28 points ( 11-25 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds and five assists in 32 minutes during Monday's 121-99 loss to the Bucks.

The double-double was Vucevic's third straight and eight overall of the season. He continues to be the Magic's go-to scorer, leading the team in six of 11 games. He continues his impressive scoring pace as he has now gone for 20 or more points in seven of 11 games this season. He also has two games with 30 or more points after not recording his second 30-point performance last season until the 50th game.

Vucevic went for 30 points (14-24 FG, 2-7 3Pt), 15 rebounds, two assists and two steals over 33 minutes in the Magic's 112-98 loss to the Mavs on Saturday.

After failing to record a double-double in two straight games, Vucevic has now done so in back-to-back games. His 30 points are a season-high and his first such game since going for 30 on March 2nd of the last basketball season. He has now been the leading scorer for the Magic in four of 10 games and their leading rebounder in eight of those games.

Vucevic totaled 22 points (8-19 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and one steal in 30 minutes during Friday's 132-90 loss to Houston.

Vucevic put up a double-double for the first time in three games after he had started the season with five in his first six outings. His evening could have been even bigger had he not sat out the entire fourth quarter with the Magic facing a 36-point deficit.

Vucevic scored 16 points (7-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT) to go with seven rebounds, six assists and one block across 34 minutes in a 105-94 win over Cleveland on Wednesday.

The center started cold with a 0-for-6 shooting performance from the field in the first quarter but would make his next five attempts before halftime. Vucevic has led the Magic in scoring in three games so far this season as he's set a career high for scoring average at 21.7 points per game. The 30-year-old cemented himself as a primary scoring option for Orlando when he averaged 28.0 points per game last points season and has carried that role into the current campaign as he's recorded his highest three-point percentage of his career at 47.4 percent on 5.4 attempts per game.

Vucevic scored 23 points (9-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT) along with eight rebounds, three blocks, two assists and two steals in the win over the Cavs.

This marks the first time in four games that Vucevic did not record a double-double. However, he has been lighting up the scoreboard this season, going over 20 points in five of seven games. His range has also improved as he has made 18 shots from behind the arc through seven games compared to last year when he didn't make his 18th 3-pointer until his 15th game.

Vucevic notched 30 points (13-21 FG, 4-7 3Pt), 13 rebounds and two assists across 35 minutes in Saturday's 108-99 loss against the Thunder.

Vucevic has scored 15 or more points in six straight contests, and he has topped the 20-point mark in three of those games. He's also posted five double-doubles in that six-game stretch, meaning he's making a clear, sizable impact on both ends of the court on a regular basis. He should remain as Orlando's go-to guy on offense moving forward.

Vucevic scored 28 points (12-18 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT) while adding 10 rebounds, five assists and a steal across 34 minutes in Tuesday's win over the Thunder.

Vucevic has scored at least 15 points in every game this season and has also double-doubled in three of the team's first four games, so it's safe to say Vucevic has been a reliable asset on both ends of the court for the Magic. He's expected to have a tougher matchup Thursday, however, as he will have to deal with Joel Embiid when Orlando takes on the Philadelphia 76ers to close out the calendar year.

Vucevic posted 22 points (8-20 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 17 rebounds, three assists and two steals in a win over Orlando on Saturday.

Vucevic paced all players with 17 boards in the victory en route to his second straight double-double. In what could be a boon to fantasy managers, the center is venturing beyond the arc more frequently so far this season, averaging 2.5 treys on 6.0 attempts after making 1.6 threes on 4.7 tries per game in 2019-20. Whether or not that trend continues, Vucevic is among the most reliable double-double threats in the league, having ranked eighth in the NBA with 41 such performances last season.

Vucevic totaled 15 points (5-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-8 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block in 34 minutes of Wednesday's 113-107 win over the Heat.

Vucevic put up double-doubles in each of his four preseason games and continued the streak into the season opener. It's nothing new for the big man as he has averaged the feat on a nightly basis in all but two of his last eight seasons.

Vucevic scored 18 points (7-11 FG, 4-6 3PT) to go with 12 rebounds and two assists during Saturday's 120-117 preseason win over Charlotte.

Vucevic finished the preseason in style with a double-double, including a team-high 12 rebounds on Saturday. The center is a nailed on starter for Orlando and has little competition in his role heading into the new year. As such fantasy managers should feel confident selecting him in the third or fourth round of drafts.

Vucevic scored 27 points (12-20 FG, 3-8 3PT) to go along with 12 rebounds, one assist and one steal across 32 minutes in Thursday's preseason contest against the Hornets.

Vucevic continued to rack up rebounds and has now totaled 38 across three preseason contests. He picked up the scoring pace as well, leading the Magic in field-goal attempts and points while also working fairly efficiently. Vucevic should continue to lead the way when the Magic tip-off the regular season Wednesday against the Heat.

Vucevic had 14 points (6-17 FG, 0-5 3PT, 2-4 FT) and 15 boards in Sunday's preseason loss to Atlanta.

After posting a double-double in Friday's opener, Vucevic followed up with another strong effort Sunday. The big man may not have the highest ceiling, but he's established himself as one of the league's most consistent high-end fantasy contributors at the center position.

Vucevic racked up 18 points (8-14 FG, 2-7 3PT, 0-1 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists, one steal and a block in 25 minutes during Orlando's 116-112 win over the Hawks.

Recording a game-high plus-25, Vucevic paced the team in scoring and matched a team-high playing 25 minutes. After averaging 19.6 points and 10.9 rebounds per game last season, Vucevic picked up right where he left off and is in line for another hefty role with the Magic in 2021.

Vucevic had 22 points (9-25 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 15 rebounds, five assists and one steal in 40 minutes during Saturday's 118-104 Game 5 loss to the Bucks.

Vucevic finished with more field-goal attempts than points in the final game of Orlando's postseason but again delivered a monster stat line. While his regular season per-game averages took a bit of a dip compared to 2018-19, Vucevic stepped up in a major way during these playoffs with the Magic down several starters due to injury. He remains the top offensive option for an Orlando team that sometimes struggles to score, neither of which seems all that likely to change heading into next season.

Vucevic had 31 points (11-20 FG, 6-10 3PT, 3-3 FT), 11 rebounds, seven assists and two blocks in Monday's Game 4 loss to Milwaukee.

While the Magic are up against the ropes trailing 3-1 in the series, Vucevic has been consistently productive in all four games. Monday marked his third 30-plus-point game and third double-double in the last six days.

Vucevic recorded 20 points (8-19 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two steals in 35 minutes during Saturday's 121-107 Game 3 loss to the Bucks.

Vucevic had his worst performance of the series, though it wasn't bad by any means. He needs to have elite performances every game, however, if Orlando wants any chance of upsetting the No. 1 seed.

Vucevic finished with 32 points (13-23 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 4-4), 10 boards, two assists, and one steal in 35 minutes of a 111-96 loss to Milwaukee on Thursday.

Vucevic posted his second double-double of the series, finishing with more than 30 points once again. But the result was different as the Bucks came to play. Vucevic wasn't as electric from deep in the contest, making three fewer attempts from deep in the game. He'll have a night off before game three on Saturday.

Vucevic had 35 points (15-24 FG, 5-8 3PT), 14 rebounds and four assists in Tuesday's Game 1 win over Milwaukee.

The Magic blitzed Milwaukee early and were able to maintain a healthy cushion for nearly the entire game, and Vucevic led the way with a team-high 35 points. He tied his season-high with five made threes, while also making the Bucks pay in the mid-range. For the third straight game, Vucevic did not attempt a free throw.

Vucevic scored 23 points (10-11 FG, 3-4 3Pt) to go along with six rebounds, three assists and one steal in 26 minutes off the bench during Thursday's win over the Pelicans.

Vucevic averaged 20.4 points, 9.6 rebounds and 2.5 assists in eight bubble games for Orlando, while racking up five double-doubles. Without a doubt, the Montenegrin big man will be one of Orlando's key contributors in the upcoming playoff series against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Vucevic had 12 points (5-15 FG, 2-5 3PT) and 10 rebounds in Tuesday's loss to the Nets.

Vucevic appeared to be on a soft minutes restriction, as he played only 21 minutes -- by far his fewest in any game since the restart. With the Magic locked into the No. 8 seed, Vucevic could again be limited -- or rested altogether -- for Thursday's seeding-game finale against New Orleans.

Vucevic had 26 points (11-27 FG, 3-11 3PT, 1-2 FT) and 11 boards in Sunday's loss to Boston.

The big man saw 38 minutes of action in the overtime loss, and his 27 field goal attempts matched a season high. Vucevic now has four double-doubles in six games since the season resumed.

Vucevic delivered 21 points (9-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Friday's loss against the 76ers.

Vucevic has been Orlando's go-to guy since the league restarted, and he has three double-doubles in five games while scoring at least 20 points in four of those contests. He should remain a reliable fantasy asset on both ends of the court for the playoff-bound Magic.

Vucevic posted 12 points (4-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and two steals in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 109-99 loss against the Raptors.

Vucevic has posted three straight double-doubles in four games since the restart, but this was the first time in that stretch where he couldn't reach the 20-point threshold. Despite this subpar scoring effort, Vucevic should remain one of Orlando's main scoring threats during the final weeks of the regular season.

Vucevic scored a team-high 24 points (9-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT) while adding 10 rebounds, two assists and a steal in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 120-109 loss to the Pacers.

The big man has scored at least 22 points in all three games since the restart while posting double-doubles in his last two. With the Magic trying to catch the Nets for the No. 7 seed in the East and still having something to play for, Vucevic could be one of the rare stars in the conference who doesn't face the prospect of lower minutes and significant rest over the final games of the regular season.

Vucevic had 23 points (9-14 FG, 2-3 3PT, 3-4 FT) and 11 boards in Sunday's win over the Kings.

Vucevic had an efficient night from the field, helping Orlando build a 30-plus-point lead early in the second half. The big man also added two assists and two steals in just 24 minutes.

Vucevic posted 22 points (8-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds and five assists in 27 minutes during Friday's 128-118 victory over the Nets.

Vucevic looked to be in mid-season form despite going up against one of the better defensive centers, Jarrett Allen. Friday's performance marked the 11th time this season that Vucevic has posted at least 20 points, five rebounds and five assists.

Vucevic registered 10 points (4-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, and four assists in 26 minutes during Monday's 114-110 win over the Nuggets.

Vucevic struggled from the field in this one, but he still delivered a solid performance while logging a decent amount of minutes. The big man should be ready to feature as one of Orlando's leading offensive threats ahead of the season opener Friday against the Nets. Vucevic was averaging 19.5 points with 11.0 rebounds and 3.7 assists across 32.6 minutes per game before play got suspended in March.

Vucevic had 16 points (5-12 FG, 6-8 FT), 16 boards, three assists, one block and one steal in 33 minutes of a 120-115 win against Memphis on Tuesday.

Vucevic notched his fourth straight double-double and ninth in his last 10 games with his solid performance. Vucevic is a monster on the glass but has also been able to contribute in other parts of the box score, even when he's not his most efficient from the field.

Vucevic provided 16 points (5-12 FG, 6-8 FT), 16 rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block across 33 minutes Sunday in the Magic's 126-106 win over the Rockets.

Vucevic wasn't at peak efficiency Sunday after clearing 20 points in each of the past three games while shooting 54.1 percent from the field, but he didn't have much competition on the boards while taking aim at an undersized Houston frontcourt. A 20-20 game may have been in reach for Vucevic had the Magic's 29-point lead entering the final quarter not resulted in all of the Orlando starters having their playing time suppressed to some degree. The 29-year-old could be in store for more minutes and touches Tuesday, when the Magic take on Jonas Valanciunas and the Grizzlies.

Vucevic posted 22 points (9-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 16 rebounds, seven assists and one block in 40 minutes during Wednesday's 116-113 loss at Miami.

Vucevic's huge game couldn't lift Orlando to a win, but the Montenegrin big man continues to produce at an impressive rate. He has registered double-doubles in eight of his last 10 games, scoring 20 or more points in six of those contests while shooting 51.3 percent from the field during that span.

Vucevic scored a team-high 30 points (12-24 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT) while adding 11 rebounds, two assists and a steal in 32 minutes during Monday's 130-107 loss to the Trail Blazers.

After falling one board shy of his sixth straight double-double Saturday, Vucevic immediately got a new streak going while scoring at least 30 points for the first time since Nov. 17. The veteran center averaged 20.6 points, 10.1 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.2 blocks and 1.1 threes through 12 games in February, and with the Magic trying to hang onto a playoff spot, he doesn't seem inclined to slow down now.

Vucevic scored 27 points (12-18 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT) while adding 10 rebounds, five assists and a block in 34 minutes during Friday's 136-125 win over the Timberwolves.

He took advantage of the absence of Karl-Anthony Towns (wrist) although nobody's been able to slow Vucevic down much lately. The Orlando center has a double-double in five straight games and seven of his last nine, averaging 20.9 points, 10.7 boards, 4.6 assists, 1.3 blocks and 1.2 threes over that stretch.

Vucevic notched 17 points (8-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and one block in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 130-120 win at Atlanta.

Vucevic has experienced a statistical drop off in most categories compared to what he did in the 2018-19 season, but the Montenegrin big man seems to be on the rise of late. This was his fourth straight double-double, and he has accomplished that feat in six of 10 February contests so far. Vucevic has also scored 15 points or more in seven consecutive games.

Vucevic scored 16 points (7-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT) while adding 10 rebounds, five assists and a block in 34 minutes during Monday's 115-113 win over the Nets.

The double-double was his third in a row and 29th of the season. Vucevic remains a strong fantasy option with a rock-solid floor, scoring in double digits in 32 straight games and averaging 20.8 points, 10.0 boards, 4.7 assists, 1.4 threes, 1.3 blocks and 0.9 steals through nine games in February.

Vucevic scored 27 points (12-27 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT) while adding 12 rebounds, four steals, one assist and one block in 37 minutes during Friday's 122-106 loss to the Mavericks.

The double-double was his 28th of the season as he came roaring out of the All-Star break in style. Vucevic remains a rock-solid producer, averaging 21.4 points, 10.0 boards, 4.6 assists, 1.5 threes, 1.4 blocks and 1.0 steals through eight games in February.

Vucevic recorded 19 points (9-21 FG, 1-7 3Pt), 11 rebounds, seven assists, three steals and one block in 40 minutes during Wednesday's 116-112 overtime win against the Pistons.

Vucevic provided the clincher in overtime while turning in an extremely well-rounded stat line. He hasn't been quite as good as he was last season, but Vucevic remains one of the more versatile statistical contributors regardless of position.

Vucevic delivered 24 points (10-15 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), nine rebounds, nine assists and one block in 33 minutes during Monday's 135-126 win over the Hawks.

Vucevic finished a board and a dime shy of a triple-double while providing incredibly efficient scoring and posting a season-high nine assists versus zero turnovers. He has scored at least 21 in five of six games here in February, and Vucevic will try to carry this momentum into Wednesday's matchup against the Pistons.

Vucevic scored a team-high 21 points (10-20 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT) while adding 14 rebounds, six assists and two blocks in 35 minutes during Saturday's 111-95 loss to the Bucks.

His struggles from beyond the arc didn't do the Magic any favors, but Vucevic still delivered a strong overall fantasy performance. The 29-year-old only has two double-doubles through five games in February, one of his worst stretches of the season in that regard, but he's still averaging 20.2 points, 9.6 boards, 4.0 assists, 1.6 blocks and 1.2 threes to begin the month.

Vucevic notched 25 points (9-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds, three blocks, three assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Thursday's 105-103 loss at New York.

Vucevic doesn't offer much value on the defensive end of the court, and the three blocks he notched against the Knicks tied a season-high mark for him. Most of his upside lies on what he can do scoring and rebounding, and he averages 20.0 points (on 56.7 percent shooting) with 8.5 boards per game during his last four starts. He has topped the 20-point mark thrice during that span.

Vucevic collected 12 points (5-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-4 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and one block in 32 minutes in Wednesday's 116-100 loss versus the Celtics.

Vucevic struggled to score in this game, but was still able to record a double-double. This is the sixth time in his last nine starts that the center has posted double-digit rebounds and his 11th double-double since the start of January. Vucevic should have a better showing Thursday night, when the Magic visit the Knicks. The last time he faced this club, Vucevic produced 21 points, 14 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 34 minutes of work.

Vucevic scored 13 points (5-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT) while adding 12 rebounds, four assists, a steal and a block in 33 minutes during Monday's 113-92 loss to the Heat.

No Magic player could get much going offensively -- Vucevic tied Aaron Gordon for the team lead in scoring, and Orlando shot just 37.1 percent from the floor as a team -- but the center still made a decent fantasy contribution. The double-double was Vucevic's 11th through 15 games in January, and he's averaging 19.5 points, 11.6 boards, 3.5 assists, 2.1 threes and 0.9 steals on the month.

Vucevic had 13 points (5-14 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, and five assists in 26 minutes against the Clippers on Sunday.

Vucevic saw his double-double streak end at four games as he fouled out in his team's loss. He had a cold stretch from deep, failing to make a three in the game. He'll try to turn things around against the Heat on Monday.

Vucevic had 24 points (11-21 FG, 2-5 3PT), 10 rebounds, four assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Monday's 106-86 win at Charlotte.

Vucevic was coming off an ugly shooting night against the Warriors last Saturday, but he bounced back with a strong performance here to lead his side against a struggling Hornets squad. The Montenegrin big man has seven double-doubles in his last 10 outings and is averaging 20.4 points with 12.1 rebounds during that span, so his place as Orlando's go-to guy on offense shouldn't be in question. He should remain productive ahead of Wednesday's home tilt against the Thunder.

Vucevic scored 18 points (8-21 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), and tallied 13 rebounds, three assists and two steals in a loss to the Suns on Friday.

After an efficient, 29-point outing in their last game against the Wizards, Vucevic's scoring cooled off a bit, but he still provided fantasy owners with a solid performance. DeAndre Ayton and Aron Baynes stifled Vucevic a bit from the field in this one. The 29-year old has put up early-round value again this season, and should continue to be the most reliable fantasy option on this Magic team - especially now that Jonathan Isaac (knee) is out.

Vucevic had 29 points (12-20 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, two steals and a block in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 123-98 win over the Wizards.

The 20 field goal attempts were at least double the shot amount of any other Magic teammate, and only the third time the 29-year-old has achieved such feat this season. It worked well, considering Orlando dominated so much that Vucevic didn't play at all in the fourth quarter. The big man's nine rebounds snapped a four-game stretch of double-digit boards, but the 29 points are his highest points tally since his Dec. 15 return from an ankle injury, a welcoming stat to fantasy teams who employ him.

Vucevic doesn't have any lingering ankle soreness and will likely play in both ends of the Magic's upcoming back-to-back, John Denton of OrlandoMagic.com reports.

Sunday's game against New Orleans was a fantastic outcome for Vucevic, who not only dropped 20 points in 29 minutes of play, but also came out of the contest with no issues with his right ankle. Coach Steve Clifford expects Vucevic to play in both Tuesday's game against Utah and Wednesday against Denver, which is a good sign for DFS players this week. Although there's always a chance that the star center suffers a setback, Vucevic's effort Sunday paired with Clifford's assurances indicate that he's back to 100 percent health.

According to coach Steve Clifford, Vucevic (ankle) will play significant minutes but will receive less than his normal workload in Sunday's game against the Pelicans, Roy Parry of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Vucevic will draw the start in his first contest back from an extended absence and it sounds as though he will be heavily involved right away, even if he does not receive a full workload. The All-Star's return comes at a good time, as the Magic have lost three straight games heading into Sunday.

Vucevic (ankle) is available to play against the Pelicans on Sunday, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Vucevic will finally make his return after missing the Magic's past 11 games. Given the lengthy absence, the center may find himself on a minutes restriction initially as he tries to work himself back into game shape. Khem Birch will likely see his role vastly reduced with Vucevic back in the fold.

Vucevic (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Pelicans.

Vucevic is looking to make his return Sunday following an 11-game absence. If he returns, he will probably be inserted into the starting five, though could be on a minutes limit. More information may emerge following the Magic's morning shootaround.

Vucevic (ankle) is hopeful to return to the court for Sunday's game against the Pelicans, John Denton of NBA.com reports.

Vucevic has been sidelined for the previous 11 games due to an ankle injury. He went through light practices earlier in the week and intends to practice again Saturday. The Magic will likely err on the side of caution with his minutes if he does indeed return, given the length of his absence. More information should come as tip-off approaches.

Vucevic (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Houston.

Vucevic was a full participant in Friday's shootaround, but he's not yet healthy enough to return to game action. His next chance to take the floor will come Sunday in New Orleans.

Vucevic (ankle) participated in all of Friday's morning shootaround, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Vucevic has missed 10 straight games with a sprained right ankle and had been listed as doubtful ahead of Friday's game against the Rockets. His status remains uncertain, but his activity Friday morning is certainly a step in the right direction.

Vucevic (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Rockets.

While it looks like Vucevic is trending toward another absence, he hasn't been ruled out yet, and it's possible his status could change depending on how he feels after shootaround Friday morning. If he's ultimately held out, he'll likely make his return Sunday against New Orleans.

Vucevic (ankle) said he's hoping to return Friday against the Rockets, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Vucevic, who has been sidelined since Nov. 20 with a sprained right ankle, is listed as out for Friday's game, though it sounds like that could change depending on how he feels following the team's morning shootaround. The big man noted that he should return Sunday against the Pelicans if he's ultimately unable to take the court Friday.

Vucevic (ankle) is listed as out for Friday's game against the Rockets, John Denton of OrlandoMagic.com reports.

There's been hope that Vucevic could make his return to action Friday night, and while the early "out" designation isn't the most encouraging sign, there's a chance it could be updated following practice Thursday or shootaround Friday morning. Vucevic, who was an All-Star last season for the first time, has not played since Nov. 20 in Toronto.

Vucevic (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game against the Lakers but could return as soon as Friday's game against the Rockets, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Vucevic went through an extensive post-shootaround workout Monday, so he's making good progress in his return from a sprained right ankle that has cost him nine consecutive games. More information on his status for Friday's matchup may emerge sometime Thursday or Friday following morning shootaround.

Vucevic (ankle) went through a post-shootaround workout Monday that included running, jump shooting and contact drills, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Vucevic admitted afterward that he's still experiencing some discomfort, per Robbins, though it's a good sign that he was able to take part in contact work. The timetable for his return should become more clear when he's able to take more contact at practice and participate in 5-on-5 drills.

Vucevic stated that his ankle is "feeling better", though he has yet to advance to running or contact related drills, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

While Vucevic's progressing in his rehabilitation from a right ankle sprain, he remains a ways away as he's not running yet and has been unable to begin taking jump shots. At the very least, the star center will need to go through contact-based drills and five-on-five work in practice prior to returning to game action. Based on his current status, it appears as though Vucevic is still facing a multi-week absence, though he continues to make incremental improvements.

Vucevic (ankle) is no longer using a walking boot, The Athletic reports.

While Vucevic is still expected to miss at least a couple more weeks, he's already making tangible progress in his recovery from a sprained right ankle. The big man is out of his walking boot and no longer using crutches, and he's set to be re-evaluated by the team sometime toward the end of the week.

Vucevic (ankle) will be reevaluated in 7 to 10 days after an MRI on Thursday confirmed a right lateral ankle sprain.

It was initially reported by Shams Charania of The Athletic that Vucevic is expected to miss at least four weeks, and while that may still be the case, this latest update from the Magic would seem to imply that there's a belief he could return sooner. For now, Vucevic can be safely ruled out for the remainder of December, with a further update likely to shed more light on his ultimate timetable.

Vucevic will miss at least four weeks due to his right ankle injury, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Vucevic suffered the injury during Wednesday's game against the Raptors, and while initial X-rays came back clean, a followup MRI confirmed the issue is serious enough to keep the big man sidelined for at least the next month. Khem Birch is a candidate to fill in for Vucevic, while Mo Bamba and Amile Jefferson could also factor into the rotation.

Vucevic said that X-rays on his injured ankle were negative and that he'll have an MRI on Thursday, John Denton of OrlandoMagic.com reports.

While the initial returns on Vucevic's injury were positive, a further update on his status will be postponed until tomorrow. The results of Thursday's MRI, paired with how Vucevic feels over the next couple of days will determine his availability for Saturday's game against Indiana. At this point, it seems like a safe bet that he could be held out, in which case Khem Birch would likely get the start with Mo Bamba and Amile Jefferson factoring in off the bench.

Vucevic suffered a sprained right ankle Wednesday against the Raptors and will not return.

Vucevic suffered the injury after landing awkwardly following a block attempt in the second quarter. He had to be helped to the locker room, so it's no surprise to see him ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game. Vucevic will be reevaluated in the coming days before the Magic determine his status for Saturday's game against Indiana. Prior to exiting, Vucevic tallied three points (1-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt), six rebounds, five assists and a block in 11 minutes.

Vucevic (ankle) is in line to play "extensive" minutes during Thursday's preseason finale against the Heat after he went through practice Wednesday, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Vucevic has been dealing with an ankle sprain, and he's appeared in three preseason games for the Magic. He's averaged 10.0 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.0 assists across 19.8 minutes, though it seems like his workload will be increased Thursday.

Vucevic (ankle) was able to take part in Tuesday's scrimmage during practice, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Vucevic was held out of Sunday's preseason game against the 76ers due to a sprained ankle, but after he was spotted participating in Tuesday's scrimmage, there's little doubt that he'll be ready for the regular-season opener. He'll be considered questionable for Thursday's preseason finale against Miami.

Vucevic (ankle) will not play Sunday against the 76ers.

Vucevic came into the weekend nursing a sprained ankle, but he was able to go through a full practices Saturday, so his absence Sunday night is likely just precautionary.

Vucevic will not play in Friday's game against the Celtics due to a mild ankle sprain, John Denton of OrlandoMagic.com reports.

Vucevic suffered the ankle sprain in Monday's game against the Pistons, but it doesn't appear to be anything too serious. Expect the Magic to exercise caution with their star center during the preseason. In his absence, Mo Bamba will get the start at center.
