Vukčević has missed Washington’s last two games, which has led to Anthony Gill starting at center. Vukčević will start if he’s available, which would push Gill to the bench, though he will remain a starter if Vukčević is sidelined.

Vukčević will miss a second consecutive game, which likely means another start for Anthony Gill. Julian Reese may also be in the rotation, but he only played 10 minutes in Saturday’s loss to the Heat.

Vukčević did not play in Saturday’s loss to the Heat, resulting in Anthony Gill starting and playing 25 minutes. Fantasy managers can expect the same if Vukčević remains out. Julian Reese played only 10 minutes in Miami and is not worth the risk as a streamer.

Vukčević is dealing with a right knee contusion. Due to Alex Sarr (toe) being out, Vukčević has started each of Washington’s last four games. If both can’t play on Saturday, Julian Reese is likely to be active, and he offers good value as a rebounder when allowed to start.

Vukčević received the starting nod on Wednesday with Alex Sarr (toe) sidelined, but his value did not receive the boost that some may have hoped it would. The reason: playing time. Vukčević played 11 minutes, but give him credit for making the most of his opportunities. He has reached double figures in four straight and five of his last six appearances, and the 17 points were five shy of his season-high. Vukčević’s production on Wednesday was excellent, but the playing time is why he can’t be trusted in fantasy leagues.

Vukčević has been downgraded after initially being listed as questionable. He exited early from Sunday’s game, and the back injury will keep him sidelined for this outing. With Alex Sarr (toe) also out, Anthony Gill should get the starting nod at center.

Vukčević exited early on Sunday, and there is a chance he remains out against Utah. If he plays, he’ll start at center with Alex Sarr (toe) still out. If not, Anthony Gill should start at center in a small lineup.

Vukčević, who started Sunday’s game for Alex Sarr, experienced tightness in his lower back during the second half and will not return. He played 15 minutes, finishing with 13 points, one rebound, one assist and three three-pointers. Anthony Gill has stepped in to take over the center responsibilities for the rest of the night.

The Wizards won’t have Alex Sarr or Justin Champagnie for Sunday’s game, with the latter serving a one-game suspension after his ejection from Saturday’s loss to the Thunder for fighting. Watkins and Vukčević move into the starting lineup, with the latter offering a little more streaming upside.

While coming off the bench limits Vukčević’s fantasy upside, he’s scored in double figures in four of his last five appearances. And the third-year center has two 20-point games during this stretch, including Thursday’s loss to the Pistons. Vukčević made all three of his three-point attempts and missed just one shot from the field overall in his 18 minutes. Starter Alex Sarr (two points, three rebounds, two assists and two blocks) played 21 minutes and shot 1-of-12 from the field. If there comes a point when the Wizards shut down Sarr, Vukčević could benefit.

Vukčević’s 22 points were a season-high, and he shot 6-of-7 from beyond the arc. The six three-pointers were a career-high for the Wizards’ backup center, who played 20 minutes to starter Alex Sarr’s 22. Sarr finished with four points (1-of-9 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, two steals, one block and one three-pointer. Moving forward, Vukčević will be most valuable on nights when Sarr doesn’t play, and there may be a few streaming opportunities in Week 21, given that Washington plays five games.

After a four-game absence, Vukčević will be available for Tuesday’s game. His return likely means less playing time for Julian Reese, who played 26 minutes off the bench in Sunday’s loss to the Pelicans.

Vukčević remains out for another game, but his absence is countered by Alex Sarr’s return from a strained hamstring. Julian Reese will head to the bench, eliminating the streaming value he possessed as a starter.

Vukčević will miss another game as he recovers from a thigh contusion. With Anthony Gill (illness) considered questionable, Julian Reese could make a third straight start after being signed to a two-way contract last weekend.

Vukčević’s continued absence will free up meaningful minutes for Gill if Gill is able to take the court after sitting out Monday. If Gill is out again, rookie Julian Reese could remain with the first unit. Reese started Monday in his NBA debut and recorded two points, four rebounds and three steals a cross 28 minutes.

With Alex Sarr and Anthony Davis sidelined and Anthony Gill (illness) questionable, Washington’s frontcourt will be sorely shorthanded yet again. Justin Champagnie and Jamir Watkins are candidates for additional run against the Rockets if Gill is ultimately ruled out.

Vukčević and Gill are the players the Wizards have relied on at the center position as Alex Sarr and Anthony Davis remain out due to injury. The former has been under a minutes restriction, most recently logging 19 minutes in Saturday’s loss to the Raptors. If either player sits out Monday’s contest, the Wizards will have to go small, likely meaning more minutes for Justin Champagnie and Jamir Watkins.

Vukcevic is dealing with a left hip impingement that’s put him on the injury report this week. The 22-year-old small forward was initially listed as questionable, but is available to play against the Raptors on Saturday. Vukcevic started and played 17 minutes in Thursday’s loss to the Hawks.

Due to a left hip impingement, Vukčević was also questionable for Thursday’s loss to the Hawks. He ultimately started and logged 17 minutes, with Anthony Gill playing 31 minutes off the bench. If Vukčević can go on Saturday, his hip injury may prevent him from playing the minutes he needs to achieve fantasy relevance.

Vukčević missed Tuesday’s game against the Hornets but will be back in action against the Hawks. Over the last two weeks, he’s averaging 10.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 2.0 steals in just under 20 minutes per game.

With Alex Sarr (hamstring) sidelined, Vukčević has been the starting center when healthy. If he’s unable to go on Thursday, the Wizards will likely turn to Anthony Gill. He would only be worth a look as a deep-league streamer due to Washington’s lack of healthy frontcourt options. There would also be more minutes available to Jamir Watkins.

Vukčević sustained a right hand contusion on Friday, and it cost him Sunday’s matchup with the Hornets. He’ll be back in action following a one-game absence, and he should slot in as Washington’s starting center, sending Anthony Gill to the bench.

Vukčević suffered a right hand contusion during Friday’s win over the Pacers, which limited him to 20 minutes. With Alex Sarr (hamstring) also out, the Wizards will have to rely more on Anthony Gill, and Jamir Watkins’ playing time should increase as well.

Vukčević was limited to 20 minutes in Friday’s win over the Pacers, exiting due to a right hand contusion. Anthony Gill absorbed some of those minutes and would likely do so on Sunday if Vukčević can’t play. However, that does not guarantee Gill a spot start, as the Wizards went small and started Jamir Watkins the last time they were severely shorthanded in the post.

The deal includes a team option in the third year, according to Charania. Vukčević had previously been on a two-way contract. He figures to continue to work in the center rotation for Washington with most of his fantasy value coming when Alex Sarr has been out.

Vukčević, who was in the starting lineup for Friday’s game, has been ruled out for the rest of the night with a hand contusion. He played 20 minutes, finishing with 14 points (7-of-12 FGs), eight rebounds, one assist, one steal and one blocked shot. Vukčević’s absence should result in more minutes for Anthony Gill, as he’s the only other healthy big in the Wizards’ rotation.

Vukčević only played 17 minutes on Thursday, but that didn’t keep him from putting up a career-high number in the steals category. The Wizards were without Alex Sarr, who remains out with a hamstring injury, so Vukčević got another start. Hopefully, his limited playing time on Thursday ensures that Vukčević will be available for Friday’s rematch.

Vukčević did not play in the Wizards’ final game before the All-Star break, but he will be available on Thursday. He’ll figure prominently in the center rotation, likely as the starter, since Alex Sarr (hamstring) is out for at least one more week.
