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.

Over that stretch, which includes a start in the loss to the Jazz on March 19, Vukcevic is averaging 12.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 1.3 assists across 20.3 minutes per game.

Wizards' Tristan Vukcevic: Makes presence felt off bench
Rotowire
Vukcevic produced 17 points (5-10 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals across 21 minutes during Friday's 120-105 loss to the Magic.
Vukcevic returned to his regular bench role after starting in the loss to Utah on Wednesday, but the change in role didn't affect his production. This was the third straight game in which he reached the 17-point plateau, and the big man could carve a nice role in the rotation ahead of the final weeks of the regular season, especially if the Wizards decide to give some more rest to the likes of Alex Sarr and even Richaun Holmes. Vukcevic is playing on a two-way deal but has made only 24 appearances at the NBA level, so he won't face the limitations other two-way players might have in the final weeks of the regular season.
