The Washington Wizards are signing center Tristan Vukcevic to a new three-year, $9 million contract, according to sources via ESPN. The agreement moves the 7-footer from a two-way spot to a standard roster contract as the team continues to develop its young core.
The deal reportedly includes a team option in the third season, providing the Wizards with roster flexibility moving forward. The contract was finalized on Saturday morning between the organization and Vukcevic’s agent, Jason Ranne of Wasserman. This multi-year commitment signals a significant step for Vukcevic, who has been working within the Wizards system to earn a permanent spot on the 15-man roster.
By securing Vukcevic on a three-year deal, Washington ensures they have the young big man under team control as they navigate their current rebuilding phase. The 7-foot center will now transition into a more stable role within the rotation under the new terms of the agreement reached today.
