Questionable for Saturday Vukcevic is questionable for Saturday's game against the Hawks due to a right knee contusion.

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.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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.

Not starting Saturday Vukcevic won't start Saturday's game against the Bulls.

Impact 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.

NOVEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Friday Vukcevic is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Raptors.

Impact 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.

NOVEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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.

NOVEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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.

NOVEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact The 2023 second-rounder produced 24 points in 24 minutes of court time, leading the Wizards in scoring off the bench Wednesday.
