Tristan Vukčević recorded 17 points (6-of-7 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, two assists, one steal and three three-pointers in Wednesday’s loss to the 76ers.
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.
