Encyclopedic overview
Nikola Vučević (Montenegrin Cyrillic: Никола Вучевић, pronounced [nǐkola ʋûːtʃeʋitɕ]; born 24 October 1990), nicknamed Vooch, is a Montenegrin professional basketball player for the Boston Celtics of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He played college basketball for the USC Trojans before being drafted 16th overall in the 2011 NBA draft by the Philadelphia 76ers.
Vučević, who spent his rookie season with the 76ers, was traded to Orlando Magic before the start of the 2012–13 season as a part of the four-team trade that sent Dwight Howard to the Los Angeles Lakers. He played nine seasons for the Magic and was named an NBA All-Star twice during his tenure with the team. In the middle of the 2020–21 season, the Magic traded Vučević to the Chicago Bulls. After five seasons, he was traded to the Boston Celtics in 2026.
