Wizards Re-sign Tristan Vukcevic to Two-Way Contract

The Washington Wizards have re-signed 22-year-old Tristan Vukcevic to a two-way contract, continuing their investment in the young big man who has shown promising development. Vukcevic, a 7-footer selected 42nd overall in the 2023 NBA Draft, averaged 9.4 points and 3.7 rebounds per game last season, displaying efficient shooting with 49.6% from the field and 37.3% from three-point range. Entering his third NBA season, he has appeared in 45 games and brings valuable EuroLeague experience from his time with Real Madrid and Partizan Belgrade. Despite the renewal, the Wizards still face depth challenges in the frontcourt, as Vukcevic’s two-way deal limits him to being active for only 50 NBA games. The team’s coaching staff expressed confidence in his work ethic and potential, viewing him as a key part of their future plans to build a competitive roster in the Eastern Conference. Fans and analysts alike are eager to see if Vukcevic can elevate his game and become a consistent contributor for the Wizards.
