Vukcevic had 22 points (7-9 FG, 6-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 20 minutes during Saturday's 111-100 loss to Boston.
Vukcevic rattled off a season-high 22 points, fresh off a double-double only 48 hours earlier. Having cemented the backup role behind Alex Sarr, Vukcevic continues to deliver strong per-minute production. At this point, he remains more of a stream candidate as opposed to being a must-roster player. However, should Washington opt to rest Sarr down the stretch, look for Vukcevic to be a popular addition.

Rotowire
Vukcevic logged 11 points (5-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt), 11 rebounds, one assist and one block across 21 minutes during Thursday's 136-131 overtime loss to the Magic.
Vukcevic continues to produce regardless of his role in the lineup, proving reliable as a starter and a reserve.

Wizards' Tristan Vukcevic: Sees seven minutes in loss
Rotowire
Vukcevic logged three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across seven minutes during Tuesday's 150-129 loss to the Heat.
Vukcevic returned from a four-game absence and was deployed as the third-string center Tuesday. It's likely that he reclaims a bigger rotation spot moving forward, making him someone to monitor in deeper formats. However, as long as Alex Sarr (hamstring) is suiting up, Vukcevic will be limited to a bench role.

Wizards' Tristan Vukcevic: Not listed on injury report
Rotowire
Vukcevic (thigh) is available for Tuesday's game against the Heat.
Vukcevic has missed four consecutive matchups while on the mend from a left thigh bruise, but he'll be back in the mix Tuesday. He'd made five straight starts before suffering the injury, though he'll presumably fall back to a bench role now that Alex Sarr has returned to health.

Wizards' Tristan Vukcevic: Dealing with thigh contusion
Rotowire
Vukcevic is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Rockets due to a left thigh contusion.
Vukcevic had been dealing with a left hip issue, but he is listed with a thigh injury on the most recent injury report. He's played 20 minutes or less in seven of his last eight outings and should continue to operate under a minutes restriction while working through his lower-body injuries. Anthony Gill (illness) could start at center if he shakes his questionable tag and Vukcevic is unable to play Monday.

Wizards' Tristan Vukcevic: To be limited Saturday
Rotowire
Head coach Brian Keefe said Vukcevic (hip) will operate under a minutes restriction in Saturday's game against the Raptors, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
Vukcevic was previously listed as questionable on the injury report, and while he's been cleared to suit up, the Wizards will monitor his workload. The center is averaging 10.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.0 three-pointers in 19.1 minutes over his last four games.

Wizards' Tristan Vukcevic: Iffy to face Atlanta
Rotowire
Vukcevic is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Hawks due to a left hip impingement.
Vukcevic has been tending to a right-hand injury over the past week, but he's on the injury report ahead of Thursday's contest with a different ailment. The third-year center, who recently had his two-way contract converted to a standard deal, was limited to 22 minutes in his previous appearance, playing less than reserve center Anthony Gill.

Wizards' Tristan Vukcevic: Good to go Tuesday
Rotowire
Vukcevic (hand) will play Tuesday against the Hawks.
Vukcevic will return from a one-game absence Tuesday, and that is likely to push Anthony Gill to the bench. Over his last five games, Vukcevic has averaged 13.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.8 blocks in 17.8 minutes per contest. He should continue to start as long as Alex Sarr (hamstring) and Anthony Davis (finger) are sidelined, which will at least be for a few more weeks.

Wizards' Tristan Vukcevic: Questionable to play Sunday
Rotowire
Vukcevic (hand) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Charlotte.
Vukcevic suffered a right hand contusion during the Wizards' win over the Pacers on Friday, which puts him in jeopardy of missing Sunday's contest. He has started in each of the Wizards' last two games due to the absence of Alex Sarr (hamstring), so Anthony Gill would be the top candidate to enter the Wizards' starting liineup if Vukcevic is unable to play.

Wizards' Tristan Vukcevic: Tallies five steals in win
Rotowire
Vukcevic (illness) finished with 12 points (4-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, five steals, one assist and one block across 17 minutes during Thursday's 112-105 win over the Pacers.
Back in action after missing the Wizards' final game before the All-Star break due to an illness, Vukcevic stepped into the starting five in place of Alex Sarr (calf), who is headed for an extended absence. Vukcevic rewarded any fantasy managers who picked up off the waiver wire by delivering a career-high steal total, but the Wizards' decision to suppress his minutes prevented him from turning in an even bigger stat line. He didn't play the final 18 minutes, as the 15-39 Wizards had built a lead and seemingly held out most of their key players down the stretch in an effort to lose the game and improve their draft-lottery odds. Washington will likely continue to have volatile rotations the rest of the season that will make predicting the playing time for all members of the roster a difficult endeavor from game to game, but Vukcevic showed Thursday that if he can at least get 15-to-20 minutes, he could still provide plenty of fantasy value.
