Tristan Vukcevic News, Rumors, Updates - Washington Wizards

Questionable to play Sunday Vukcevic (hand) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Charlotte.

Impact Vukcevic suffered a right hand contusion during the Wizards' win over the Pacers on Friday, which puts him in jeopardy of missing Sunday's contest. He has started in each of the Wizards' last two games due to the absence of Alex Sarr (hamstring), so Anthony Gill would be the top candidate to enter the Wizards' starting liineup if Vukcevic is unable to play.

Upgraded to standard deal Vukcevic (hand) agreed to a three-year, $9 million contract with the Wizards on Saturday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact Vukcevic began the season on a one-year, two-way pact but will receive added security with this new contract. The deal includes a team option for the third season. Over 35 regular-season appearances (five starts) in 2025-26, the big man has averaged 7.9 points and 2.7 rebounds in 12.3 minutes per contest. He's currently dealing with a right hand contusion and should be considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Hornets until Washington provides an update on his status.

Won't return Friday Vukcevic won't return to Friday's game against the Pacers due to a hand contusion, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

Impact Vukcevic will end his evening with 14 points (7-12 FG, 0-5 3Pt), eight rebounds, one assist, one steal, one block and one turnover across 20 minutes. For now, he should be considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Hornets.

Tallies five steals in win Vukcevic finished with 12 points (4-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and five steals in 17 minutes during Thursday's 112-105 win over the Pacers.

Impact Despite playing just 17 minutes, Vukcevic rewarded anyone who snapped him up, recording a career-high five steals. While the production was encouraging, the fact that he started and yet played so few minutes is concerning. It appears as though Washington is going to continue openly tanking, which is not the news fantasy managers want to hear. He remains a must-roster player, at least until we get some clarity regarding Alex Sarr (calf). However, it seems unlikely he will play anything close to starter-level minutes.

Won't play Wednesday Vukcevic (illness) is out for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.

Questionable to play Wednesday Vukcevic is questionable to play Wednesday against the Cavaliers due to an illness.

Scores 14 off bench in loss Vukcevic logged 14 points (5-11 FG, 4-5 3Pt), five rebounds and two assists in 20 minutes during Sunday's 132-101 loss to the Heat.

Impact Vukcevic returned to a bench role after starting Saturday but produced a similar result, totaling exactly 14 points for a third straight game. After entering this stretch shooting just 20.0 percent from beyond the arc across 30 appearances, the big man has caught fire from deep, converting 61.5 percent of his three-point attempts on 13 tries over the past three contests. With the Wizards moving on from Marvin Bagley at the trade deadline, Vukcevic now has a clear path to operating as the primary backup center behind Alex Sarr.

Questionable for Sunday Vukcevic is questionable for Sunday's game against Miami with right knee soreness.

Impact Vukcevic drew a start in Saturday's game against Brooklyn in the absence of Alex Sarr (ankle), finishing with 14 points, two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 20 minutes.

Gets starting nod Vukcevic will start Saturday's game against the Nets.

Impact Alex Sarr is sitting out with ankle soreness for the front end of this back-to-back set. Vukcevic is on the streaming radar for Saturday, and he's coming off a solid showing Thursday against Detroit with 14 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 11 minutes.

Excellent numbers in limited run Vukcevic (hamstring) posted 14 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 11 minutes Thursday in the Wizards' 126-117 win over...

Impact Making his return from a 10-game absence due to a sore left knee and left hamstring strain, Vukcevic settled into the Washington rotation and provided stellar per-minute production during his limited time on the court. With the Wizards moving Marvin Bagley ahead of the trade deadline, Vukcevic should have a fairly clear path to the primary backup role behind starting center Alex Sarr moving forward. Vukcevic showed Thursday that even in light playing time, he's capable of putting up strong numbers, but he'll probably need to move into a more consistent 20-minute role before fantasy managers can have a greater amount of trust in him as a back-end roster option in 12-team category leagues.
