Nikola Vucevic is excited about his first deep playoff run with the Boston Celtics, who are the second seed in the Eastern Conference. After only 16 playoff games in his 15-year career, he looks forward to making a significant impact in the upcoming series against the Philadelphia 76ers.
BOSTON — Center Nikola Vucevic has accomplished a lot in his 15-year NBA career. He's a former first-round pick, a two-time All-Star, and a respected big man in basketball's premier league. However, the 35-year-old has never had a legitimate shot at the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy — until now.
Vucevic has only played in 16 playoff games in his career, and he hasn't made it past the first round since his rookie season in 2012. He only recorded 3 minutes in that Eastern Conference Semifinals series 14 years ago with the Philadelphia 76ers and they were eventually eliminated in seven games by Vucevic's current squad: the Boston Celtics.
