Nikola Vučević: Breaking News

Doesn't see floor in Game 7

Vucevic did not see the floor in Saturday's Game 7 loss to the 76ers. Vucevic had played 19.0 minutes per contest in the previous six games of this series, but the Celtics completely went away from the veteran Saturday. Following his trade from Chicago, Vucevic made 16 regular-season appearances for the Celtics and averaged 9.7 points, 6.6 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 21.1 minutes per contest. The center is now set to hit the open market as a free agent.

Muted production continues

Vucevic provided eight points (3-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt), two rebounds and three assists over 15 minutes during Tuesday's 113-97 loss to the 76ers in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs. Vucevic continues to be a liability on the defensive end, with Joel Embiid having his way once again. Despite Neemias Queta being in early foul trouble, Vucevic was limited to just 15 minutes. His flaws have been picked apart by the 76ers, with Embiid specifically targeting him whenever he is on the floor. Through five games, Vucevic has averaged just 7.0 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.7 three-pointers in 20.0 minutes per game.

Limited production in loss

Vucevic provided nine points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and one assist over 18 minutes during Tuesday's 111-97 loss to the 76ers in Game 2 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs. Vucevic continues to play a limited role off the bench, providing Boston with modest production on both ends of the floor. The fact that he is playing purely as a backup despite the fact that Neemias Queta has been struggling highlights just how unimpactful Vucevic has been.
