Tristan Vukcevic Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Wizards vs Spurs game on Thursday with our National Basketball Association injury report.Dec 6, 2025
Another solid performance
Vukcevic finished with 18 points (7-14 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds and four assists in 27 minutes during Saturday's 131-116 loss to Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Vukcevic tallied a season-high 18 points, continuing what has been a solid week of basketball. In four appearances during that span, he has averaged 15.0 points and 3.8 rebounds in 20.0 minutes per game. Despite coming off the bench behind Marvin Bagley, Vukcevic has been arguably the better of the two players, making him a short-term fantasy consideration, keeping in mind that when Alex Sarr (adductor) returns, both will likely lose all their value.
Dec 6, 2025
Good to go Saturday
Vukcevic (knee) is available for Saturday's game against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Vukcevic will shed his questionable tag due to a right knee contusion and suit up against Atlanta. The 22-year-old will likely see significant minutes behind Marvin Bagley with Alex Sarr (adductor) sidelined. In his last five outings, Vukcevic has averaged 10.8 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.8 assists across 15.6 minutes per contest.
Dec 5, 2025
Questionable for Saturday
Vukcevic is questionable for Saturday's game against the Hawks due to a right knee contusion.
ANALYSIS
If Vukcevic is forced to join Alex Sarr (adductor) on the sidelines for Saturday's game, Marvin Bagley will get all the run he can handle and Anthony Gill will have a chance for meaningful minutes in the rotation. Check back for another update on Vukcevic closer to Saturday's tip.
Dec 2, 2025
Fares well off bench
Vukcevic amassed 16 points (4-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-8 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 20 minutes during Monday's 129-126 victory over the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
With Alex Sarr (adductor) sidelined, Vukcevic picked up some minutes off the bench behind fill-in starter Marvin Bagley. Vukcevic has been used pretty sparingly for most of the season, appearing in 16 games with averages of 5.0 points, 1.9 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.4 steals and 0.5 blocks.
Nov 23, 2025
Delivers full line in loss
Vukcevic closed with 12 points (5-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt), eight rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals over 20 minutes during Saturday's 121-120 loss to Chicago.
ANALYSIS
Despite moving back to the bench, Vukcevic had his best game of the season, tallying season-high marks in points, rebounds, steals, blocks and threes. While this was an encouraging performance, it should be noted that he was out of the rotation less than two weeks ago. There is no reason to overreact to this effort, although it is something to keep an eye on moving forward.
Nov 22, 2025
Not starting Saturday
Vukcevic won't start Saturday's game against the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
With Alex Sarr (toe) back in action, Vukcevic will slide to the second unit. Over his last five games off the bench, the 22-year-old center has averaged 4.2 points and 1.8 rebounds across just 9.2 minutes per contest. However, he could still play a meaningful role against Chicago with Marvin Bagley (hip) remaining on the shelf.
Nov 21, 2025
Starting Friday
Vukcevic is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
The Wizards will be without Marvin Bagley (hip) and Alex Sarr (toe), so Vukcevic will get the nod at center. The big man is coming off playing a season-high 20 minutes in a loss to the Timberwolves on Wednesday. This will be his first start of the 2025-26 campaign.
Nov 20, 2025
Plays 20 minutes in loss
Vukcevic ended with seven points (2-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and one assist over 20 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 120-109 loss to Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Even after fouling out, Vukcevic logged a season-high 20 minutes, primarily due to the absence of Alex Sarr (toe). Once Sarr comes back, Vukcevic will not have a prominent role within Washington's rotation.
Nov 6, 2025
Muted role continues
Vukcevic produced five points (2-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound and one assist in six minutes during Wednesday's 136-107 loss to the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Vukcevic logged fewer than 10 minutes for the seventh time in the past eight games, continuing what has been a disappointing season thus far. It appears as though it is going to be another long season for the Wizards, having won just one game to this point. While Vukcevic could play a role later in the season, there is no reason to think that time will come in the near future.
Oct 14, 2025
Plays well off bench
Vukcevic produced 15 points (6-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and one steal across 17 minutes of Monday's 120-103 preseason win over the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
It's been only two games, but Vukcevic has been an early standout in the preseason. In those outings, Vukcevic has played 16.7 minutes per night with averages of 12.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.5 three-pointers. Vukcevic is battling Marvin Bagley for the backup center role in Washington, and it's worth noting that Bagley was a standout performer Monday as well.
Jul 10, 2025
Re-signs with Washington
Vukcevic signed a two-way contract with the Wizards on Thursday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Vukcevic will be back with Washington for a third straight year. The 21-year-old center played in 35 games with the franchise during the 2024-25 campaign, averaging 9.4 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game, shooting 49.6 percent from the floor and 37.3 percent from three-point range.
Apr 14, 2025
Career-best game in Miami
Vukcevic logged 28 points (9-12 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists and one block across 39 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 119-118 victory over the Heat.
ANALYSIS
The double-double was the first of his career, while the 28 points were also a personal best for Vukcevic, topping the 24 points he produced Wednesday against the Sixers. The second-year center saw plenty of run to close out the season, and over his last 10 appearances he averaged 14.7 points, 5.1 boards, 1.5 assists, 1.5 threes and 1.0 blocks in 23.3 minutes a contest.
Apr 12, 2025
Another quality bench outing
Vukcevic finished with 17 points (7-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 26 minutes during Friday's 119-89 loss to Chicago.
ANALYSIS
Vukcevic was Washington's leading bench scorer during Friday's blowout loss and has now tallied double-digit points in back-to-back contests. Vukcevic has shown the potential to be a floor-spacing center, as he's shooting 35.4 percent on 2.8 three-point attempts per contest this season.
Apr 9, 2025
Team-high 24 points off bench
Vukcevic recorded 24 points (7-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 7-9 FT) and six rebounds in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 122-103 loss to Philadelphia.
ANALYSIS
The 2023 second-rounder produced 24 points in 24 minutes of court time, leading the Wizards in scoring off the bench Wednesday. Vukcevic looks to be in line to share the center minutes with Alex Sarr to wrap up the 2024-25 season. Over his last nine outings, Vukcevic has averaged 12.8 points, 4.6 rebounds,1.0 assists, 0.9 blocks and 1.3 three-pointers in 20.9 minutes.
Apr 9, 2025
Back in action Wednesday
Vukcevic (knee) will be available for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Vukcevic will be returning from a two-game absence. With Richaun Holmes (shoulder) doubtful and with Anthony Gill (hamstring) out, Vukcevic could see a healthy amount of minutes Wednesday.
Apr 8, 2025
Out for Tuesday
Vukcevic (knee) will not play Tuesday against the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Vukcevic did not play in Sunday's loss to Boston due to a left knee contusion, and now he'll miss his second straight contest. Anthony Gill could potentially pick up more run in Vukcevic's absence.
Apr 7, 2025
Iffy to return Tuesday
Vukcevic (knee) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Vukcevic did not play in Sunday's loss to Boston due to a left knee contusion. With Richaun Holmes (shoulder) listed as doubtful, Anthony Gill would stand to see significant playing time off the bench if Vukcevic is unable to play.
Apr 6, 2025
Won't play Sunday
Vukcevic (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Vukcevic and Richaun Holmes (shoulder) have been downgraded from questionable to out. In their absence, Jaylen Martin, Anthony Gill and JT Thor are candidates for increased roles.
Apr 5, 2025
Deemed questionable for Sunday
Vukcevic is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Celtics due to a left knee contusion.
ANALYSIS
Vukcevic is in danger of missing his first game since March 15 due to a left knee contusion. If Vukcevic is downgraded to out, Richaun Holmes (shoulder) will likely receive increased playing time.
Apr 1, 2025
Scores 14 points off bench
Vukcevic chipped in 14 points (6-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist in 22 minutes during Monday's 120-94 loss to the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Vukcevic made the most of his minutes in this 26-point loss and posted another double-digit scoring effort, making it the seventh time he has done it in 10 games since the beginning of March. Over that stretch, which includes a start in the loss to the Jazz on March 19, Vukcevic is averaging 12.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 1.3 assists across 20.3 minutes per game. He's an intriguing name to watch on the waiver wire of most leagues due to his ability to produce solid numbers in limited minutes.
Mar 26, 2025
Provides lift off bench in victory
Vukcevic chipped in 17 points (7-13 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 23 minutes during Wednesday's 119-114 victory over the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Vukcevic led the way off the bench for Washington in Wednesday's contest, leading all bench players in scoring and rebounds in just north of 20 minutes on the second unit. Vukcevic has recorded 15 or more points on six occasions this season, five of which have occurred while coming off the bench.
Mar 22, 2025
Makes presence felt off bench
Vukcevic produced 17 points (5-10 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals across 21 minutes during Friday's 120-105 loss to the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Vukcevic returned to his regular bench role after starting in the loss to Utah on Wednesday, but the change in role didn't affect his production. This was the third straight game in which he reached the 17-point plateau, and the big man could carve a nice role in the rotation ahead of the final weeks of the regular season, especially if the Wizards decide to give some more rest to the likes of Alex Sarr and even Richaun Holmes. Vukcevic is playing on a two-way deal but has made only 24 appearances at the NBA level, so he won't face the limitations other two-way players might have in the final weeks of the regular season.
Mar 21, 2025
Back to bench role
Vukcevic is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Vukcevic notched 17 points (8-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 0-2 FT), five rebounds and two blocks over 21 minutes during Wednesday's 128-112 loss to Utah, but he returns to the bench due to the Wizards employing a different starting lineup. Vukcevic is averaging 7.0 points and 3.2 rebounds per game across 23 appearances (one start) this season.
Mar 20, 2025
Efficient 17 points in start
Vukcevic had 17 points (8-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 0-2 FT), five rebounds and two blocks over 21 minutes during Wednesday's 128-112 loss to Utah.
ANALYSIS
Making his first start of the season and the fifth of his career, Vukcevic scored 17 points in his second straight game and swatted a team-high two shots. The rebuilding Wizards opted to give the Vukcevic a look in the first unit amid a losing season late in 2023-24 as well, so there's reason to believe the second-year big man can stick with the starters going forward to finish 2024-25. Dating back to last year, Vukcevic has averaged 15.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.6 blocks and 1.4 three-pointers in 22.3 minutes over five career starting appearances.
Mar 19, 2025
First start of season Wednesday
Vukcevic is starting Wednesday's game against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
It'll be the first start of the season for the second-year big man, who will be making his fifth career appearance in the first unit. Over his last three outings, Vukcevic has averaged 13.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.7 blocks and 1.0 steals in 22.3 minutes.
Mar 18, 2025
Pours in 17 points
Vukcevic provided 17 points (6-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 24 minutes during Monday's 112-97 loss to the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Vukcevic finished one point shy of his season-best mark (18) in the loss. The Wizards were shorthanded Monday, and they rolled with an 11-man rotation while also pulling Khris Middleton and Jordan Poole at halftime. Meanwhile, Richaun Holmes never saw the floor. This could be an indication that Vukcevic is going to get an extended look in the final weeks.
Mar 11, 2025
Fills stat sheet in loss
Vukcevic had 15 points (6-15 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 25 minutes during Monday's 119-104 loss to the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Vukcevic made the most of his 25 minutes off the bench and finished as the Wizards' second-best scorer behind Alex Sarr and Jordan Poole, who ended with 16 points each. That said, fantasy managers need to be cautious when assessing Vukcevic's upside. He's logged more than 20 minutes off the bench just once since the All-Star break, so he's not likely to have a big role any time soon.
Feb 24, 2025
Makes most of bench minutes
Vukcevic racked up 12 points (4-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 19 minutes during Sunday's 110-90 loss to the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Vukcevic hasn't been the most consistent performer off the bench for the Wizards, but he's found a way to score in double digits in three of his last seven appearances. Both his role and the lack of consistency on a game-to-game basis limit his upside considerably, so Vukcevic shouldn't be anything more than a streaming option in deep formats throughout the rest of the fantasy season.
Feb 10, 2025
Standout showing off bench
Vukcevic ended with 18 points (7-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 20 minutes during Monday's 131-121 loss to the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Although Vukcevic fell a lone point shy of his career high, he was still able to establish a new season high Monday. The rebuilding Wizards have been rolling with veteran Richaun Holmes as their starting center in the absence of rookie first-rounder Alex Sarr (ankle), but Vukcevic will remain a candidate for increased playing time down the stretch of the campaign. The 2023 second-rounder has averaged 9.6 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.1 threes in 14.0 minutes while shooting 53.2 percent from the field across his last seven contests.
Feb 7, 2025
Balanced outing off bench in loss
Vukcevic totaled seven points (3-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists and one steal over 16 minutes during Friday's 134-124 loss to Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
Vukcevic provided a spark off the Wizards bench in Friday's contest, tallying bench-high-tying rebound and assist totals while finishing second among second unit players in scoring in a losing effort. Vukcevic set a new season high in assists while posting his four outing of the year with five of more points.
Jan 31, 2025
Pitches in off bench in loss
Vukcevic registered nine points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist across 12 minutes during Thursday's 134-96 loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Vukcevic saw a season-high minute total off the bench Thursday due to the blowout nature of the game, and made the most of time on the floor by ending one point shy of the double-digit mark. Vukcevic, who has played in nine games this season, posted his second outing with nine or more points, doing so in two of his last three appearances.
Jan 15, 2025
Removed from injury report
Vukcevic (ankle) isn't listed on the injury report for Thursday's game against the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Vukcevic will end a five-game absence Thursday due to an ankle sprain, but there's no guarantee he'll see the floor for the Wizards against Phoenix. With Marvin Bagley (knee) sidelined, Washington will likely lean on Alexandre Sarr in the starting lineup and Jonas Valanciunas from the second unit.
Jan 13, 2025
Ruled out for Monday
Vukcevic (ankle) will not play Monday against the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Vukcevic will miss his fifth straight game Monday. He's not a regular rotation player, however, so his absence doesn't have many fantasy implications.
Jan 11, 2025
Won't play Sunday vs. OKC
Vukcevic (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
The 2023 second-round pick will miss a fourth straight game due to a right ankle sprain. Vukcevic has only appeared in three regular-season games, so his absence has had little impact on Washington's rotation. His next opportunity to play will be Monday against the Timberwolves.
Jan 9, 2025
Ruled out against Chicago
Vukcevic (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Vukcevic will miss a fifth straight game Friday with a right ankle sprain. He has played in only three games for the Wizards this season and has made little impact in the 2.3 minutes per game he's been averaging.
Jan 8, 2025
Out again Wednesday
Vukcevic (ankle) will not play Wednesday against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Vukcevic is not a rotation player for the Wizards with a total of seven minutes across three appearances this season.
Jan 6, 2025
Nursing ankle sprain
Vukcevic (ankle) won't play in Tuesday's game against the Rockets, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Vukcevic is nursing a right ankle sprain, and his next opportunity to suit up arrives during the second leg of Washington's back-to-back Wednesday against Philadelphia. Alexandre Sarr and Jonas Valanciunas should play the bulk of the center minutes Tuesday, and Anthony Gill could take on a handful of minutes off the bench in Vukcevic's absence.
Dec 8, 2024
Sidelined again Sunday
Vukcevic (knee) is listed out for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Vukcevic has yet to make his season debut due to a left knee contusion and remains without a concrete timeline for a return. The Wizards have designated Vukcevic as one of their three two-way players this season, so he could end up seeing his initial game action with the G League's Capital City Go-Go.
Dec 6, 2024
Out. vs Denver
Vukcevic (knee) is out for Saturday's game against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Vukcevic continues to deal with a nagging injury and doesn't have a timetable to return to the court. His next chance to suit up will come against the Grizzlies on Sunday, but it's not clear when he'll be eligible to be back.
Dec 4, 2024
Out for Thursday
Vukcevic (knee) will not play Thursday versus Dallas.
ANALYSIS
Vukcevic remains unable to make his 2024-25 debut while he continues to recover from a left knee contusion. There have been scarce updates on his progression.
Dec 2, 2024
Remains out
Vukcevic (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Vukcevic has yet to make his season debut and doesn't have a return timeline. Barring a return to practice, the second-year big man can be considered doubtful for future contests.
Nov 29, 2024
Remains out for Saturday
Vukcevic (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game versus the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Vukcevic has yet to make his season debut and his timetable for a return is unclear as he recovers from a left knee contusion. The 21-year-old big man is expected to require a reconditioning period once he is cleared for game action, though his next chance to suit up will come Tuesday against the Cavaliers.
Nov 25, 2024
Sitting out Tuesday
Vukcevic (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Vukcevic isn't yet ready to make his 2024-25 debut while he continues to recover from a left knee contusion. Wizards head coach Brian Keefe said back on Nov. 17 that once Vukcevic shakes off the injury, the second-year big man will need a reconditioning period before he's deemed ready for game action. With that in mind, Vukcevic looks safe to rule out through the second leg of the Wizards' back-to-back set Wednesday versus the Clippers.
Nov 18, 2024
Still not ready for game action
Vukcevic has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Knicks due to a left knee contusion, Varun Shankar of The Washington Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Vukcevic has yet to play in the NBA or G League this season, but this is the first time he's shown up on the injury report. On Sunday, coach Brian Keefe said Vukcevic needed to ramp up his conditioning before making his debut, and the injury likely doesn't help the big man's chances of seeing live action soon.
Oct 6, 2024
Scores 10 points in limited action
Vukcevic registered 10 points (4-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and one rebound across eight minutes during Sunday's 125-98 preseason loss to the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Vukcevic was one of four Wizards players to score in double digits Sunday despite playing just eight minutes off the bench. The 2023 second-round pick spent most of his rookie year playing overseas and didn't join the Wizards until mid-March. Vukcevic will likely spend most of the 2024-25 season in the G League, but he'll use the preseason to make a case to stick around on the Wizards' 15-man roster for the start of the regular season.
Jul 3, 2024
Back to Washington on two-way
Vukcevic (ankle) signed a two-way contract with the Wizards on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
The Wizards selected Vukcevic with the No. 42 pick in 2023, but he didn't join Washington until mid-March. He appeared in 10 regular-season contests for the Wizards, including four straight starts before an ankle injury sidelined him. As a starter, Vukcevic averaged 15.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.5 blocks in 22.5 minutes per game. Washington declined Vukcevic's $2.42 million team option but has re-signed him to a two-way deal, so the Serbian center figures to spend most of the 2024-25 campaign with the G League's Captial City Go-Go.
Jun 30, 2024
Hits free agency
The Wizards declined Vukcevic's (ankle) $2.42 million team option Friday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Vukcevic was drafted with the No. 42 pick in 2023, and after just one year with the club he will enter free agency. The 21-year-old averaged 8.5 points and 3.6 rebounds across 15.3 minutes in 10 games last season.
Apr 14, 2024
Premature end to season
Vukcevic (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale against Boston.
ANALYSIS
Vukcevic's abridged rookie campaign will culminate in 8.5 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 15.3 minutes across 10 appearances. The Serbian big profiles as a notable component of Washington's youth movement and frontcourt rotation next season.
Apr 13, 2024
Iffy for Sunday
Vukcevic is questionable for Sunday's game against the Celtics with a right ankle sprain.
ANALYSIS
This is a new issue for Washington, and it's a tough blow for the Wizards because they are already dealing with a ton of injuries. The rookie center has averaged 15.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.2 blocks and 1.4 three-pointers over his last five games.
Apr 12, 2024
Back in starting lineup
Vukcevic (knee) will start Friday's game against the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Richaun Holmes (toe) and Marvin Bagley (knee) remain out, so Vukcevic will slide back into the starting lineup following a one-game absence due to left knee soreness. Over his last four appearances (three starts), Vukcevic has averaged 14.3 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.3 blocks and 0.8 steals in 24.8 minutes per game.
Apr 11, 2024
Set to play Friday
Vukcevic (knee) isn't on the injury report for Friday's game versus the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Vukcevic will return to action Friday after missing Washington's last contest with left knee soreness. If Richaun Holmes (toe) is ruled out yet again, Vukcevic should draw another start.
Apr 9, 2024
Ruled out
Vukcevic (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game in Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Vukcevic, Richaun Holmes (toe) and Marvin Bagley (knee) are all out, so Anthony Gill, Eugene Omoruyi and Patrick Baldwin are all candidates for increased playing time in Washington's frontcourt. Vukcevic's next chance to suit up will come Friday versus Chicago.
Apr 8, 2024
Dealing with knee soreness
Vukcevic is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves due to left knee soreness.
ANALYSIS
Vukcevic has scored in double figures in four straight games, averaging 14.3 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.3 blocks and 0.8 steals in 24.8 minutes during that stretch. He's one of five Wizards listed as questionable, so it's unclear what Washington's rotation will look like at this point.
Apr 8, 2024
Flashes his upside
Vukcevic provided 11 points (4-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and three blocks across 23 minutes during Sunday's 130-122 loss to the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
The rookie center continues to turn heads for Washington. The frontcourt has been crushed by injuries, so Vukcevic could continue to log heavy minutes to close out the regular season. Over his last four games, Vukcevic posted averages of 14.3 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.3 blocks and 1.3 three-pointers.
Apr 4, 2024
Scores 15 points in first NBA start
Vukcevic closed Wednesday's 125-120 loss to the Lakers with 15 points (5-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block across 21 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Vukcevic got the start Wednesday due to Richaun Holmes (toe) and Marvin Bagley (knee) ruled out. While Vukcevic didn't see as much playing time as he did Tuesday against the Bucks, he managed to score in double digits for the third straight game. With Bagley considered week-to-week and Holmes still dealing with his injury, Vukcevic could be the starting center for the Wizards for the rest of the regular season.
Apr 3, 2024
Will make first NBA start
Vukcevic is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Lakers, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Vukcevic will start at center Wednesday with Richaun Holmes (toe) and Marvin Bagley (knee) out. Vukcevic posted 14 points, seven rebounds, three assists and one steal in 31 minutes during his last outing.
Apr 3, 2024
Sees extended action vs. Bucks
Vukcevic closed Tuesday's 117-113 victory over the Bucks with 14 points (5-11 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal across 31 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Vukcevic saw his highest playing time of the season Tuesday after Marvin Bagley left in the second quarter after a right knee sprain.

Signs 2-year deal with Wizards
Vukcevic and the Wizards agreed to a two-year contract Wednesday, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports.

Washington selected Vukcevic with the No. 42 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, and while he was originally expected to remain overseas, the Wizards are wanting to get an extended look at him to close out the regular season.

Nears double-double
Vukcevic tallied 15 points (4-13 FG, 2-8 3PT, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds and one assist across 26 minutes of Saturday's 90-85 loss to the Bulls during Summer League.
ANALYSIS
Vukcevic took on an expanded role Saturday with several Wizards players sidelined for the team's Summer League finale and delivered 15 points to pair with a team-high eight rebounds. Though he's showcased the ability to stretch the floor at 6-foot-11, Vukcevic likely will need more time to develop before seeing meaningful NBA minutes.
