Traded to Boston The Bulls traded Vucevic to the Celtics in exchange for Anfernee Simons on Tuesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact The Celtics have been linked to several centers around the NBA, and they finally found their guy. Vucevic and Simons are both on expiring contracts, making this an easy sell for both clubs. Vucevic will likely supplant Neemias Queta in the starting lineup in Boston, but he may see less usage with his new squad. Vucevic can be considered questionable to debut against the Rockets on Wednesday, as Tuesday's game against Dallas is out of the question.

Will not play Saturday Vucevic (rest) will not play Saturday against Miami.

Impact Vucevic was previously listed as doubtful for Chicago, and he will end up sitting out the front end of this back-to-back set. With Jalen Smith (calf) also sidelined, the Bulls could lean more on Patrick Williams and Lachlan Olbrich.

Doubtful for Saturday Vucevic (rest) is doubtful to play Saturday versus the Heat.

Impact Vucevic is expected to rest on the first leg of this upcoming back-to-back set, and managers can expect to get official confirmation on his status closer to tipoff. With Vucevic unavailable and Jalen Smith (calf) questionable, Matas Buzelis and Patrick Williams could be tapped to play some center minutes Saturday evening.

Struggles with shot Thursday Vucevic notched 15 points (6-18 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds and three assists across 37 minutes during Thursday's 116-113 loss to Miami.

Impact Vucevic did enough to secure a double-double, a feat he's achieved in seven of his 15 appearances in January, but his shooting woes were noticeable since he made just 33.3 percent of his field goals. Vucevic hasn't stopped producing even on games where he's struggled with his shot, so fantasy managers shouldn't put too much stock into those shooting woes. Even with the ups and downs in efficiency, Vucevic is still averaging 18.9 points, 9.6 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game since the beginning of January.

Fills stat sheet Wednesday Vucevic ended Wednesday's 113-110 loss to Indiana with 25 points (10-17 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal over 29 minutes.

Impact Vucevic came just one rebound shy of recording what would've been a second straight double-double, but he delivered a strong outing anyway since he made his presence felt in each of the five major categories -- a feat he's achieved in three of his last five games. Over that stretch, Vucevic is averaging 17.6 points, 8.6 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1.2 blocks and 0.8 steals per contest.
