Celtics' Nikola Vucevic: Posts another double-double
Vucevic racked up 19 points (7-12 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 124-105 victory over the Bulls.
It was a superb night for Vucevic, who recorded his second double-double in three games with Boston. More impressively, he sank four threes on 80 percent shooting from deep in the 19-point Celtics win. Vucevic has made a seamless transition to his new team so far, but he's playing fewer minutes.

Celtics' Nikola Vucevic: Productive in Celtics debut
Vucevic finished Friday's 98-96 win over the Heat with 11 points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3PT, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and two steals over 28 minutes.
Vucevic came off the bench in his Celtics debut, a role he hasn't filled since his rookie season with the 76ers during the 2011-12 campaign. The veteran center filled in nicely in his bench role, and while he looked to distribute more than score at times, he still managed to record a double-double while showing his energy on offense with six offensive rebounds. It'll be interesting to see whether Vucevic continues to operate in a reserve role, but if so, he and Payton Pritchard would combine to form a lethal duo off the bench for Boston.

Celtics' Nikola Vucevic: Expected to come off bench
Vucevic suggested that he will come off the bench for his Celtics debut Friday against the Heat, Jay King of The Athletic reports.
Vucevic has been an established starter in every season of his NBA career other than his rookie campaign with the 76ers in 2011-12. The Celtics' newest addition expressed his excitement Friday in joining his new team and relayed that he expects that his role in Boston will be different from what it has been for his career. That suggests that Neemias Queta will remain the Celtics' starting center for at least the short term, and with Vucevic coming off the bench, that will mean fewer rotational minutes will be available for the likes of Luka Garza, Amari Williams and Jordan Walsh.

Celtics' Nikola Vucevic: Left off injury report for Friday
Vucevic (recently traded) is not listed on the injury report for Friday's game against the Heat, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
Vucevic's absence from the Celtics' initial injury report signals that he's ready to make his team debut Friday following Tuesday's trade away from Chicago. The star big man figures to immediately jump right into the starting lineup, likely pushing Neemias Queta to the bench. Over his last 10 appearances before being dealt by the Bulls, Vucevic averaged 18.6 points, 7.9 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.1 blocks in 31.5 minutes per game.

Celtics' Nikola Vucevic: Listed as out
Vucevic (recently traded) will be unavailable for Wednesday's game against the Rockets.
Vucevic was dealt from Chicago to Boston on Tuesday, but he's not quite ready to make his Celtics debut. Once he's settled in with his new team, the veteran center is likely to supplant Neemias Queta in the starting lineup. Vucevic's next chance to play will come Friday against Miami.

Celtics' Nikola Vucevic: Traded to Boston
The Bulls traded Vucevic to the Celtics in exchange for Anfernee Simons on Tuesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. The teams also swapped second-round picks.
The Celtics have been linked to several centers around the NBA, and they finally found their guy. Vucevic and Simons are both on expiring contracts, making this an easy sell for both clubs. Vucevic will likely supplant Neemias Queta in the starting lineup in Boston, but he may see less usage with his new squad. Vucevic can be considered questionable to debut against the Rockets on Wednesday, as Tuesday's game against Dallas is out of the question.

Bulls' Nikola Vucevic: Playing Sunday vs. Miami
Vucevic (rest) is not listed on the injury report for Sunday's game against the Heat.
Vucevic sat out of the front end of the Bulls' back-to-back set with the Heat on Saturday, but the veteran big man will be available for Sunday's contest. He averaged 18.9 points, 9.6 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 1.6 threes and 1.1 blocks over 33.0 minutes per game in January.

Vucevic (rest) will not play Saturday against Miami.

Bulls' Nikola Vucevic: Doubtful for Saturday
Vucevic (rest) is doubtful to play Saturday versus the Heat.
Vucevic is expected to rest on the first leg of this upcoming back-to-back set, and managers can expect to get official confirmation on his status closer to tipoff. With Vucevic unavailable and Jalen Smith (calf) questionable, Matas Buzelis and Patrick Williams could be tapped to play some center minutes Saturday evening.

Bulls' Nikola Vucevic: Struggles with shot Thursday
Vucevic notched 15 points (6-18 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds and three assists across 37 minutes during Thursday's 116-113 loss to Miami.
Vucevic did enough to secure a double-double, a feat he's achieved in seven of his 15 appearances in January, but his shooting woes were noticeable. Vucevic hasn't stopped producing even when he's struggled with his shot, so fantasy managers shouldn't put too much stock into an off night. Even with the ups and downs in efficiency, Vucevic is still averaging 18.9 points, 9.6 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game since the beginning of January.

Bulls' Nikola Vucevic: Fills stat sheet Wednesday
Vucevic ended Wednesday's 113-110 loss to Indiana with 25 points (10-17 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal over 29 minutes.
Vucevic came just one rebound shy of recording what would've been a second straight double-double, but he delivered a strong outing anyway since he made his presence felt in each of the five major categories -- a feat he's achieved in three of his last five games. Over that stretch, Vucevic is averaging 17.6 points, 8.6 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1.2 blocks and 0.8 steals per contest.

Bulls' Nikola Vucevic: Double-doubles in defeat
Vucevic closed with 18 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Monday's 129-118 loss to the Lakers.
Vucevic turned in an efficient performance from the field and finished as Chicago's fourth-leading scorer. The veteran big man also led all players in rebounds after grabbing single-digit boards in three straight games, securing his sixth double-double in January and 18th on the campaign. Additionally, he dished out five-plus assists for the sixth time in his last eight outings, and he's on pace to tie his career high of 3.8 dimes per contest.

Bulls' Nikola Vucevic: Strong showing in win
Vucevic finished Tuesday's 138-110 victory over the Clippers with 19 points (8-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal across 32 minutes.
Vucevic has been on a heater for the Bulls, and it's fair to wonder if his market grows as a result ahead of the trade deadline. Over his last seven outings, Vucevic has averaged 19.9 points, 9.6 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 1.7 blocks and 1.1 three-pointers in 31.7 minutes per contest.

Bulls' Nikola Vucevic: Drops 35 points in win
Vucevic totaled 35 points (14-22 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and two blocks across 31 minutes in Wednesday's 128-126 win over the Jazz.
Vucevic erupted for a season-high scoring total Wednesday, eclipsing 30 points for the first time in the 2025-26 campaign as part of a narrow home victory. The big man entered the contest in strong January form, averaging 18.2 points, 11.2 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.0 blocks over his previous six outings.
