Vukcevic is unlikely to have a significant role to begin the 2026-27 season.
ANALYSISThe Wizards didn't have
Anthony Davis (finger) or
Alex Sarr (foot) available late last year, allowing Vukcevic to make a career-high 12 starts. This time around, however, Washington boasts a revamped frontcourt that is not only set to feature Davis and Sarr, but it also includes
Deandre Ayton as a new face down low. As a result, Vukcevic is likely to be hard-pressed to squeeze into the Opening Night rotation.
