Posts another double-double
Vucevic ended with 12 points (5-17 FG, 2-9 3Pt), 13 rebounds and six assists over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 125-107 loss to Washington. Vucevic had a rough shooting performance, and the Bulls struggled as a whole in this 18-point defeat, but the big man at least found a way to finish with another double-double. Shooting woes aside, this was Vucevic's sixth double-double over his last seven appearances, and he remains a consistent presence down low for the Bulls. He's averaging 17.4 points, 11.9 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 0.9 steals per game over that seven-game span.
Double-double vs. Milwaukee
Vucevic closed Saturday's 116-111 win over the Bucks with 23 points (10-24 FG, 3-7 3Pt), 13 rebounds, five assists and one steal in 38 minutes. Vucevic led the Bulls in rebounding Saturday and co-led in scoring with Josh Giddey. It was Vucevic's 19th double-double of the regular season, four of which have come over his last five games. For the month of December, Vucevic has averaged 20.4 points on 56.4 percent shooting, 9.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.1 steals over 32.5 minutes per game.
Tallies another double-double
Vucevic chipped in 17 points (7-16 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Monday's 112-91 loss to Milwaukee. That's now 18 double-doubles in 29 appearances for Vucevic this season, and the veteran big man continues to push for the third All-Star nod of his career in 2024-25. Over his last nine games, Vucevic has averaged 21.6 points, 9.7 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 0.9 blocks and 2.3 three-pointers and is shooting 59.4 percent from the field during this stretch. He'll look to keep the good times rolling in Thursday's soft matchup against the Hawks, who rank 27th in the NBA in points per game allowed (119.0).
Double-double against Celtics
Vucevic accumulated 19 points (8-19 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Saturday's 123-98 loss to Boston. It's the second straight double-double for Vucevic, and his 17th of the season in 28 games. The veteran center has kept his potential trade value high, scoring in double digits in 14 straight appearances and averaging 21.6 points, 9.8 boards, 3.4 assists, 2.4 threes, 0.9 steals and 0.9 blocks over that stretch while shooting 57.5 percent from the floor and 47.9 percent (34-for-71) from beyond the arc.
Continues to roll Thursday
Vucevic racked up 16 points (7-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt), 14 rebounds, four assists and one block across 33 minutes during Thursday's 117-108 win over the Celtics. Vucevic notched his 15th double-double of the season Thursday, cleaning the glass for a game-high 14 boards and supplying an efficient 16 points. The 34-year-old star big man has reached double-digit scoring figures in each of his last 13 games, a stretch in which he's averaging 21.8 points, 9.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists 0.9 blocks, 0.8 steals and 2.6 three-pointers per contest. Vucevic has long been a dependable fantasy asset due to his strong production across the board, but he's taken a big leap in efficiency during his 15th season, shooting a career-high 59.2 percent from the field and 48.0 percent from deep in 2024-25.
Scores 24 points Monday
Vucevic finished Monday's 122-121 win over Toronto with 24 points (10-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 32 minutes. With Zach LaVine (back) sidelined, Vucevic embraced a more significant role on offense Monday, and the big man responded by posting his 14th appearance with at least 20 points in the current campaign. Vucevic has been very efficient of late and shows no signs of slowing down. Over his last five appearances, Vucevic is averaging 22.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.2 steals per game while shooting 63.2 percent from the floor in that span.
Good to go Monday
Vucevic (illness) is available for Monday's game against the Raptors. As expected, Vucevic has been upgraded from probable to available and will return to action Monday after missing his first game of the season last Friday due to an illness. Over his last five appearances, Vucevic has averaged 23.6 points, 9.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.2 steals in 31.2 minutes per game.
Expected to play Monday
Vucevic (illness) is probable for Monday's game against the Raptors. Vucevic missed his first game of the season last Friday against the Hornets due to an illness. However, he's expected to return to action Monday. Over his last five appearances, Vucevic has averaged 23.6 points, 9.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.2 steals in 31.2 minutes per game.
Ruled out for Friday
Vucevic (illness) is out for Friday's game against the Hornets, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports. Vucevic will miss a game for the first time this season, and his absence means Chicago will probably rely on Jalen Smith to play the bulk of minutes at center. Vucevic has been one of the Bulls' best players in recent weeks, averaging 21.4 points, 9.6 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.1 steals per game across his last 10 contests. If the illness isn't a long-term thing, then he should be in contention to suit up for Monday's game at Toronto.
