Nikola Vučević was notably absent from Boston’s rotation in their Game 7 loss to the 76ers. Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla opted for Luka Garza, who contributed minimally, over Vučević, leading to speculation about Vučević’s future role and market value in the upcoming free agency. Historically a strong fantasy performer, Vučević’s potential as a top-50 player hinges on securing a starting role, which may be challenging with teams focused on championship contention.
