Tristan Vukcevic News, Rumors, Updates - Washington Wizards

Not starting vs. Charlotte Vukcevic won't start against the Hornets on Tuesday.

Impact With Alex Sarr (adductor) back in action, Vukcevic will slide to the second unit. The 22-year-old center has averaged 10.8 points and 3.8 rebounds in 14.8 minutes per game in his last five outings off the bench, though he could see a significant dip in playing time with Sarr and Marvin Bagley both available.

Productive in spot start Vukcevic chipped in 18 points (8-19 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 0-2 FT), nine rebounds and three blocks in 27 minutes during Sunday's 124-113 loss to San Antonio.

Impact Vukcevic wasn't sharp in terms of percentages, as he needed 19 shots to score 18 points and missed seven of his nine three-pointers. However, he still rounded out a solid stat line, ending one rebound shy of a double-double and adding a season-high three blocks. Vukcevic got the start due to the absence of Marvin Bagley (calf), and if the latter can't perform against the Hornets on Tuesday, Vukcevic might remain in the starting unit. He's made just two starts this season.

Enters starting lineup Vukcevic will start Saturday's game against the Spurs.

Impact With Marvin Bagley (calf) out of commission, Vukcevic is the next man up at center for Washington. Across 22 appearances this season, Vukcevic holds averages of 6.8 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 0.5 blocks in 11.7 minutes per contest.

Barely visible in loss Vukcevic amassed six points (2-3 FG, 2-2 FT) and two rebounds over five minutes during Thursday's 119-94 loss to the Spurs.

Impact With Alex Sarr (adductor) returning to action Thursday, Vukcevic was relegated to the third-string center, playing behind both Sarr and Marvin Bagley. While Vukcevic has had some positive moments this season, as long as the front court is relatively healthy, he can be safely ignored in all but the deepest leagues.

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.

Impact 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.

Good to go Saturday Vukcevic (knee) is available for Saturday's game against the Hawks.

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.

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.

DECEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

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.

NOVEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

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.

JULY 10 • HOOPSHYPE.COM

Re-signs with Washington Vukcevic signed a two-way contract with the Wizards on Thursday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact 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.

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.
