Top Vasilije Micic News

  • Hornets' Vasilije Micic: Slides back to bench Sunday

    Micic will come off the bench in Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.

    With LaMelo Ball (ankle/wrist) returning from a three-game absence, Micic will slide back to the bench. Over his last five outings (three starts), the 30-year-old has averaged 7.2 points and 3.8 assists in 22.4 minutes per game.

  • Hornets' Vasilije Micic: Serviceable results in spot start

    Micic produced 16 points (6-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt), two rebounds, four assists and one steal over 29 minutes during Saturday's 106-94 loss to the Thunder.

    Starting at point guard for the injured LaMelo Ball (wrist), Micic did a serviceable job filling in as Charlotte's floor general with 16 points and four assists from the first unit, but it was Miles Bridges who ultimately saw the largest increase in usage Saturday. Over nine games as a starter this season, Micic has averaged a decent 13.0 points, 6.2 assists, 3.2 rebounds, 0.7 steals and 2.3 three-pointers in 30.6 minutes. If Ball remains sidelined for Monday's matchup with the Bulls, who rank 29th in the NBA in points allowed per game (121.8), Micic would be worth a look as a streamer for fantasy managers in need of dimes and treys.

  • Hornets' Vasilije Micic: Getting starting nod

    Micic is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game versus the Thunder.

    Micic will replace LaMelo Ball (wrist) in the starting five Saturday. Micic is averaging 12.6 points, 6.5 assists and 3.4 rebounds in 30.8 minutes across his previous eight starting appearances this season.

  • Hornets' Vasilije Micic: Drops 20 points in spot start

    Micic recorded 20 points (7-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound and four assists over 33 minutes during Friday's 108-98 loss to the 76ers.

    Micic filled in admirably, scoring a team-high 20 points in the absence of LaMelo Ball, who was resting as part of his injury management plan. After playing a meaningful role during the time Ball was sidelined, Micic is now likely to feature prominently only when the star point guard is resting or succumbs to another injury.

  • Hornets' Vasilije Micic: Starting Friday

    Micic will enter the starting lineup in Friday's game against the 76ers.

    With LaMelo Ball (calf) sidelined, Micic will get the starting nod. Over his last five outings (three starts), the 30-year-old has averaged 8.4 points, 5.4 assists and 3.4 rebounds across 25.2 minutes per contest.

  • Hornets' Vasilije Micic: Back to bench

    Micic won't start Monday's game against the 76ers.

    With LaMelo Ball (calf) back in action, Micic will retreat to the bench for the first time since Nov. 27. Tre Mann (back) is still sidelined, so Micic should remain in the rotation, though he will likely have a limited role.

  • Hornets' Vasilije Micic: Nears double-double

    Micic accumulated 18 points (7-15 FG, 4-6 3Pt), two rebounds, nine assists and two steals across 34 minutes during Sunday's 113-109 win over the Pacers.

    Micic turned in a solid night from beyond the arc and led the Hornets in assists, nearly securing his second double-double of December. He continues to see a sizable uptick in opportunities while LaMelo Ball (calf) and Tre Mann (back) remain sidelined.

  • Hornets' Vasilije Micic: Hands out season-high 12 assists

    Micic notched 14 points (6-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), one rebound and 12 assists across 35 minutes during Thursday's 125-101 loss to New York.

    With LaMelo Ball (calf) and Tre Mann (back) sidelined, Micic has started four straight games, but Thursday was by far his best performance. The 12 dimes were a season-high mark for Micic, and he's averaging 10.8 points, 6.8 assists and 3.3 rebounds per game since moving to a starting role on Nov. 29. With Ball and Mann expected to be sidelined for at least the next two weeks, Micic could be a solid pickup in most formats.

  • Hornets' Vasilije Micic: Locks in from downtown

    Micic closed with 15 points (6-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt), eight rebounds, five assists and two steals in 34 minutes during Saturday's 107-104 loss to the Hawks.

    Micic was able to play through a minor knee injury Saturday and made his second consecutive start without the services of LaMelo Ball (calf) and Tre Mann (back). Micic managed to score in double figures for the first time this season and posted impressive numbers as a passer and on the glass. It may be worth riding the hot hand in Micic until the Hornets get healthy, but he's struggled to see consistent playing time when Ball and Mann are in the rotation.

  • Hornets' Vasilije Micic: Set to play vs. Atlanta

    Micic (knee) is available for Saturday's game against the Hawks.

    Micic logged 31 minutes in the loss to the Knicks on Friday, finishing with nine points, two rebounds and eight assists, and he's been upgraded to available after receiving a probable tag earlier Saturday. He could remain in the starting lineup for this matchup Saturday since the Hornets will be without LaMelo Ball (calf) and Tre Mann (back).

  • Hornets' Vasilije Micic: Gets probable tag

    Micic is listed as probable for Saturday's matchup with the Hawks due to right knee soreness.

    Micic logged nine points (3-10 FG, 1-5 3PT, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and eight assists in 31 minutes during Friday's 99-98 loss to the Knicks. If he ultimately gets the green light, the guard figures to again be in line for a heavy workload, as LaMelo Ball (calf) and Tre Mann (back) will again be sidelined. In fact, both are expected to be out for at least to more weeks, meaning Micic could see some more extended playing time in the immediate future if his health allows it.

  • Hornets' Vasilije Micic: Sparks offensively in first start

    Micic produced nine points (3-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and eight assists in 31 minutes during Friday's 99-98 loss to New York.

    Micic earned his first starting nod Friday in place of LaMelo Ball (calf), leading all Hornets players in assists despite struggling a bit shooting the ball from the field. Micic, who concluded two dimes and one point shy of a double-double, set a new season high in assists while matching a season-best mark in points Friday.

  • Hornets' Vasilije Micic: Getting starting nod

    Micic is in the starting five for Friday's game versus the Knicks.

    Micic will replace LaMelo Ball (calf) in the starting lineup Friday. Micic is averaging 3.7 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 13.6 minutes across seven appearances this season but should see increased playing time against New York due to Ball's absence.

  • Hornets' Vasilije Micic: Rare appearance in loss

    Micic registered six points (3-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across 14 minutes during Wednesday's 98-94 loss to the Heat.

    Micic cracked the rotation for just the fourth time in the past 15 games, continuing his disappointing start to the season. After a strong run to end the 2023-24 campaign, Micic has seen his role vanish, typically used as nothing more than a depth piece. As the Hornets start to get bodies back on the floor, there is a chance Micic could be removed from the rotation altogether at some point in the not-too-distant future.

  • Hornets' Vasilije Micic: Will play Wednesday

    Micic (illness) has been cleared for Wednesday's game against Toronto.

    Micic will suit up for his fourth consecutive contest while the Hornets' backcourt continues to play without Brandon Miller (hip). Micic hasn't been the most reliable floor general, which stands in stark contrast to his European resume, but he will look to continue settling in against a Toronto squad lacking Scottie Barnes (eye) on Wednesday.

  • Hornets' Vasilije Micic: Questionable for Wednesday

    Micic (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.

    Micic was a late addition to the injury report. With Tre Mann playing so well off the bench, Micic is averaging just 15.0 minutes per contest through three games.

  • Hornets' Vasilije Micic: Scoreless in 10 minutes

    Micic contributed zero points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one assist across 10 minutes during Saturday's 114-106 loss to Miami.

    Micic played a season-low 10 minutes and was held scoreless for the first time through three games. With Brandon Miller (hip) and Josh Green (Achilles) sidelined, more minutes should be available for Micic. However, Tre Mann has emerged as the primary beneficiary after a couple of strong offensive performances.

  • Hornets' Vasilije Micic: Back to bench Tuesday

    Micic will return back to the bench for Tuesday's preseason game versus the Knicks.

    With LaMelo Ball (rest) returning to action, Micic will be relegated back to the second unit. Although he started in the last preseason game against Memphis, he will continue to split time with Tre Mann as the backup point guard behind Ball.

  • Hornets' Vasilije Micic: Starting vs. Memphis

    Micic will start Thursday's preseason game against the Grizzlies.

    Micic will get a starting nod in this contest since the Hornets are resting LaMelo Ball. The Serbian point guard has been competing with Tre Mann for the backup point guard role behind Ball.

  • Hornets' Vasilije Micic: Notches 19 for bronze medal

    Micic provided 19 points (5-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT), two assists and two rebounds across 21 minutes for Serbia in Saturday's 93-83 win over Germany in the bronze medal game of the Paris Olympics.

    Micic tied Nikola Jokic for the game high in points as Serbia secured a trip atop the podium. The 30-year-old produced his best outing of the Olympic Games, and it came at the right time for Serbia as it defeated Germany, the 2023 FIBA World Cup Champions. Micic was a solid third option for the squad, and he averaged 13.5 points, 4.5 assists and 2.3 rebounds across 22.0 minutes per game in six Olympic matches.
