Bulls big man Nikola Vucevic was set to play in game No. 82 Sunday against Detroit, reaching the milestone for the first time in his career.

As long as there were no slips in the shower on Sunday morning or an errant kid’s toy to step on, Nikola Vucevic will reach a very impressive milestone when the regular-season finale tips-off in the afternoon at the United Center.

For the first time in his 12-year NBA career, he will have played all 82 regular-season games.

Vucevic hit 80 back in the 2018-19 season, he’s been in the 70s four times, but never the full 82.
