Vujacic tallied eight points (3-13 FG, 2-2 FT), three assists, five rebounds, and a steal over 21 minutes in Monday's 94-88 victory over the Sixers.
The veteran has started all three exhibitions, even though he is fully expected to come off the bench as Arron Affalo's primary backup during the regular season. After hitting 75 percent of his shots from long range in his last contest on Oct. 9 against the Wizards, Vujacic went cold from beyond the arc Monday, missing all four attempts and shooting just 23 percent from the field overall. Nevertheless, Vujacic was a consistent source of other counting stats once again, hauling in five boards for the third consecutive contest and contributing a trio of assists for the second time in the first three preseason games. As previously stated by Knicks President Phil Jackson, the 31-year-old is expected to play an important role in the regular rotation in 2015-16, although his expected amount of playing time is yet to be determined.

Vujacic will be a "significant force off the bench," according to President Phil Jackson, Charley Rosen of ESPN reports.
Vujacic's familiarity with the triangle offense, Phil Jackson, and coach Derek Fisher will offer him a longer leash than anticipated. He can serve as a coach on the court with the younger players, but the bulk of the guard minutes are expected to belong to Jose Calderon and Arron Afflalo. Vujacic will absorb a tertiary role in the rotation as he competes with Langston Galloway and Jerian Grant for playing time.

Vujacic agreed to a one-year deal with the Knicks on Friday, Shams Charania of RealGM reports.
Vujacic hasn't played in the NBA since the 2013-14 season, when he played in just two games for the Clippers while playing on a 10-day contract. The 31-year-old guard spent the last year playing with Istanbul Buyuksehir Belediyesi where he finished with averages of 15.7 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.8 assists over 33 minutes per game. The terms of the deal have yet to be announced, but Vujacic will join the Knicks as added depth in the backcourt.

The Clippers are reportedly close to signing Sasha Vujacic to a 10-day contract.
Vujacic took a physical, and the deal could become official by Tuesday. This move would solely be to add depth to the Clippers backcourt, and it is extremely unlikely Vujacic would have any fantasy impact.

Sasha Vujacic has been working out with the Lakers and is hoping to relaunch his NBA career.
He was in the gym last week and the talk of Sasha coming back to play stateside has been ongoing for over two months.

Thu Apr 26 201210:09Sasha Vujacic not heading to the Raptors
Raptors GM Bryan Colangelo says there is "no truth" to reports that Toronto has interest in Sasha Vujacic.
There was some bad information floating around Twitter that Vujacic already had a four-year contract offer in hand from the Raptors, but that never made any sense for a variety of reasons. Thankfully, Colangelo quickly put that rumor to bed. Vujacic hopes to return to the NBA next season, but it's hard to imagine any team willing to give him a four-year commitment. There is just no need to do that.
