Vukcevic (illness) is available for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves.
While Vukcevic will be available for Sunday's game, that doesn't necessarily mean he'll get out there, as he was a DNP-CD in his previous three outings before going down with an illness. With Alex Sarr and Marvin Bagley healthy, Vukcevic will have a tough time finding meaningful minutes in the rotation.

Wizards' Tristan Vukcevic: Iffy for Sunday
Rotowire
Vukcevic (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves.
Vukcevic was unable to play Friday against the Nets, but he remains day-to-day. He's not a lock to see minutes when both Alex Sarr and Marvin Bagley are healthy.

Wizards' Tristan Vukcevic: Misses Friday's game with illness
Rotowire
Vukcevic was inactive for Friday's 119-99 win over the Nets due to an illness.
The illness prevented Vukcevic from potentially logging some minutes in garbage time in the blowout win, but he typically hasn't been included in the rotation in competitive contests when the Wizards have both Alex Sarr and Marvin Bagley available. A two-way player, Vukcevic has already been active for 32 of the Wizards' games this season and is eligible to appear in 18 more before Washington would need to upgrade him to a standard NBA contract in order for him to play.

Wizards' Tristan Vukcevic: Not starting vs. Charlotte
Rotowire
Vukcevic won't start against the Hornets on Tuesday.
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.

Wizards' Tristan Vukcevic: Productive in spot start
Rotowire
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.
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 Alex Sarr (thigh) and Marvin Bagley (calf), who were likely only sidelined because Sunday's contest was the second half of a back-to-back set.

Wizards' Tristan Vukcevic: Enters starting lineup
Rotowire
Vukcevic will start Sunday's game against the Spurs.
With Alex Sarr (groin) and 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.

Wizards' Tristan Vukcevic: Barely visible in loss
Rotowire
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.
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 frontcourt is relatively healthy, he can be safely ignored in all but the deepest leagues.

Wizards' Tristan Vukcevic: Another solid performance
Rotowire
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.
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 arguably been 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.

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

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

Wizards' Tristan Vukcevic: Fares well off bench
Rotowire
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.
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.

Wizards' Tristan Vukcevic: Delivers full line in loss
Rotowire
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.
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.

Wizards' Tristan Vukcevic: Not starting Saturday
Rotowire
Vukcevic won't start Saturday's game against the Bulls.
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.

Wizards' Tristan Vukcevic: Starting Friday
Rotowire
Vukcevic is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Raptors.
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.

Wizards' Tristan Vukcevic: Plays 20 minutes in loss
Rotowire
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.
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.

Wizards' Tristan Vukcevic: Muted role continues
Rotowire
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.
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.

Wizards' Tristan Vukcevic: Plays well off bench
Rotowire
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.
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.

Wizards' Tristan Vukcevic: Re-signs with Washington
Rotowire
Vukcevic signed a two-way contract with the Wizards on Thursday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
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 while shooting 49.6 percent from the floor and 37.3 percent from three-point range.
Wizards' Tristan Vukcevic: Career-best game in Miami
Rotowire
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.
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.
