Wizards Convert Tristan Vukcevic to Three-Year Deal, Add Leaky Black on Two-Way

Open roster space enabled a conversion with his two-way games dwindling.

Overview

  • Tristan Vukcevic moves from a two-way to a three-year, $9 million standard contract that includes a team option for year three, per ESPN’s Shams Charania.
  • Washington did not need a corresponding 15-man move because the team had 13 players on standard contracts.
  • Vukcevic has logged 35 games this season with averages of 7.9 points and 2.7 rebounds, earning starts recently with Alex Sarr out.
  • The timing reflects the 50-game appearance cap for two-way players, which Vukcevic was nearing before the promotion.
  • Leaky Black fills the vacant two-way slot after a strong run with the Capital City Go-Go and prior NBA experience with Charlotte.
