Nikola Vučević is a Montenegrin professional basketball player for the Chicago Bulls of the National Basketball Association (NBA).

He was born on 24 October 1990 in Morges, Switzerland, when his professional basketball player father, Borislav, played for a club based in nearby Lausanne.

He was raised in Belgium, where the family moved in 1994 when his father got a professional contract there.

Vučević moved to Simi Valley, California, in the United States in October 2007 to play his senior year of high school at Stoneridge Prep.

On 23 June 2011, Vučević was drafted with the 16th overall pick in the 2011 NBA draft by the Philadelphia 76ers.

During the 2011 NBA lockout, Vučević played for Montenegrin team Budućnost Podgorica.
