Giannis Antetokounmpo Giannis: âI feel good, I feel 100 percent'
Sat, Feb 14, 2026, 10:05 AM
Milwaukee Bucks
Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) said Saturday that he currently feels â100 percentâ and that he could play a game today.
Analysis: Giannis has been sidelined since straining his right calf for the second time this season during a January 23 loss to the Nuggets. At the time, he set a four-to-six-week timeline, and the former league MVP is on the right path. âI feel like the break doesn't help, because now I gotta get on the court, I gotta play some 1-on-1, 3-on-3, 5 vs. 5,â Antetokounmpo said Saturday. âPlayers are on vacation right now, so it's kinda hard for me to do that. âSo once I check all those boxes, I'm ready to go. I feel like I can play a game today.â Giannis has made it clear he will play again this season. And the Bucks' wins over Orlando and Oklahoma City heading into the All-Star break likely sparked optimism about the team's chances of earning a playoff berth once they get their star forward back. |

Bobby Portis Bobby Portis has double-double in win vs. Thunder
Thu, Feb 12, 2026, 4:01 PM
Bobby Portis had 15 points (6-of-11 FGs), 12 rebounds, three assists, four steals and three three-pointers in Thursday's win over the Thunder.
Analysis: Portis showed again Thursday why he leads all active bench players in double-doubles with 15 points and 12 rebounds in the win over the Thunder. The 31-year-old small forward seems to be over his hip injury. With the All-Star break approaching, Portis and the Bucks are off until Friday, February 20 against the Pelicans. |

Ousmane Dieng Ousmane Dieng has monster night in win over OKC
Thu, Feb 12, 2026, 3:54 PM
Ousmane Dieng had 19 points (7-of-12 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), 11 rebounds, six assists, one steal, four blocks and three three-pointers in the Bucks' 110-93 victory over the Thunder on Thursday.
Analysis: Dieng has struggled to produce or see minutes consistently this season, but has flashed a high-ceiling in the last two games. The 22-year-old small forward followed up a 17-point performance in 23 minutes in the win against the Magic on Wednesday with a full stat line in the win over the Thunder on Thursday. Dieng had 19 points and was just four assists shy of a triple-double while also contributing on the defensive end with a steal and four blocks. He also made three three-pointers. The Bucks deciding to keep giving him more minutes could lead to more games like this in the future. |

Ousmane Dieng Bucks start KPJ, Green, Dieng, Kuzma and Sims
Thu, Feb 12, 2026, 1:17 PM
Bucks will start Kevin Porter Jr., AJ Green, Ousmane Dieng, Kyle Kuzma and Jericho Sims against the Thunder on Thursday.
Analysis: With Myles Turner (calf) a late scratch Thursday, Dieng will move into the starting lineup as the only change for the Bucks. The 22-year-old small forward had 17 points in 23 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's win over the Magic. |

Myles Turner Myles Turner (calf) late scratch Thursday vs. OKC
Thu, Feb 12, 2026, 1:04 PM
Myles Turner (calf) is out for Thursday's game against the Thunder.
Analysis: Turner wasn't on the initial injury report, but was a late scratch with right calf soreness. Ousmane Dieng had 17 points in 23 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Magic and could be in for even more minutes with Turner out Thursday against the Thunder, Dieng's former team. |
|
Kyle Kuzma Kyle Kuzma (foot) available Thursday vs. Thunder
Thu, Feb 12, 2026, 12:23 PM
Kyle Kuzma (foot) is available for Thursday's game against the Thunder.
Analysis: Kuzma returned from a calf injury earlier this week, only to find himself back on the injury report with a foot injury. Initially listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Thunder, Kuzma was ruled in. He had 15 points, seven rebounds and two assists in Wednesday's win over the Magic. |

Ryan Rollins Ryan Rollins (foot) out Thursday vs. Thunder
Thu, Feb 12, 2026, 12:18 PM
Ryan Rollins (foot) is out for Thursday's game against the Thunder.
Analysis: Rollins is set to miss his second consecutive game with right foot plantar fasciitis. With the 23-year-old guard out Wednesday against the Magic, Cam Thomas stepped up and dropped 34 points in the victory. Thomas could be in for another big performance with Rollins out, though it's a more difficult matchup as the Thunder lead the league in defensive efficiency. |

Ryan Rollins Ryan Rollins (foot) questionable Thursday vs. OKC
Thu, Feb 12, 2026, 8:28 AM
NBA Injury Report
Ryan Rollins (foot) is questionable for Thursday's matchup with the Thunder.
Analysis: Rollins sat out Wednesday's matchup with Orlando, but he's got a chance to return for the second leg of Milwaukee's back-to-back set. If Rollins ultimately sits out, Cam Thomas could be in for another big performance. Thomas dropped 34 points against the Magic and hit a key triple late in the game to seal the victory. |

Kyle Kuzma Kyle Kuzma (foot) questionable Thursday vs. OKC
Thu, Feb 12, 2026, 8:22 AM
NBA Injury Report
Kyle Kuzma (foot) is questionable for Thursday's matchup with the Thunder.
Analysis: Kuz is back on the injury report, but this time, it's for a foot issue. If he's unable to take the court for the Bucks' final game before the All-Star break, Ousmane Dieng should see a bump in playing time. |

Kevin Porter Kevin Porter Jr. tallies triple-double vs. Orlando
Wed, Feb 11, 2026, 4:37 PM
Kevin Porter Jr. recorded a triple-double on Wednesday with 18 points (5-of-14 FGs), 10 rebounds, 11 assists, two blocks and one three-pointer against the Magic.
Analysis: KPJ's play dwindled in January, but his first four games back after missing time with an oblique injury have been excellent. He has averaged 21.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 8.8 assists and 2.3 steals per game, which has helped the shorthanded Bucks remain competitive. As long as Giannis Antetokounmpo remains out, KPJ should be productive as a high-usage player, and he was able to record his second triple-double of the season in this game. |

Cam Thomas Cam Thomas drops 34 points vs. Orlando
Wed, Feb 11, 2026, 4:33 PM
Cam Thomas led the Bucks with 34 points (12-of-20 FGs), four rebounds, two assists and four three-pointers in a 116-108 win over the Magic on Wednesday.
Analysis: Thomas only played 13 minutes against Orlando on Monday, but he took on a larger role in the rematch and was far more productive. His role dwindled over the final weeks of his Nets' tenure, but in his second game with Milwaukee, he had his highest-scoring game since October. If Thomas is able to continue to play this well after the All-Star break, he may be able to secure a long-term deal this summer and be a strong option for fantasy managers down the stretch. |

Ousmane Dieng Ousmane Dieng knocks down career-high five triples
Wed, Feb 11, 2026, 4:28 PM
Ousmane Dieng provided a boost off the bench with 17 points (6-of-10 FGs), three rebounds and five three-pointers against the Magic on Wednesday.
Analysis: Dieng's first game with the Bucks was just a five-minute in a blowout loss, and he wasn't able to do much. However, his role expanded in his second game with the team, and he set a new career high for three-pointers in a game. He's still only 22 years old, and he holds plenty of upside. He could end up playing a larger role for the Bucks over the final two months of the season, which could lead to more productive outings like this one. |

Jericho Sims Jericho Sims starts, scores career-high 17 points
Wed, Feb 11, 2026, 4:22 PM
Jericho Sims started on Wednesday and finished with 17 points (6-of-6 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), 11 rebounds and two assists against the Magic.
Analysis: Sims was part of a bigger starting unit for the Bucks with Ryan Rollins (foot) sidelined, and that strategy worked out well for the Bucks. He recorded a double-double and didn't miss a shot on his way to setting a new career high for scoring. It was also enough for the Bucks to get a win. They play again in Oklahoma City on Thursday, and if Rollins remains out, Sims should be in line for another start. |

Jericho Sims KPJ, Green, Kuzma, Sims, Turner starting vs. Magic
Wed, Feb 11, 2026, 12:39 PM
Magic PR
Kevin Porter Jr., AJ Green, Kyle Kuzma, Jericho Sims and Myles Turner will start against the Magic on Wednesday.
Analysis: With Ryan Rollins (foot) sidelined, Bucks coach Doc Rivers will turn to a bigger starting unit. Sims hauled in 15 rebounds in his most recent start and should be able to grab plenty of boards in this game, though he may not contribute much else. |

Pete Nance Pete Nance (ankle) available vs. Orlando
Wed, Feb 11, 2026, 11:43 AM
NBA Injury Report
Pete Nance (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Magic.
Analysis: Nance is good to go after a sprained left ankle limited him to ten minutes in Monday's loss to the Magic. While he will provide frontcourt depth off the bench in Wednesday's rematch, there isn't enough to make Nance a player worth rostering in fantasy leagues. |
|
Ryan Rollins Ryan Rollins (foot) ruled out vs. Orlando
Wed, Feb 11, 2026, 11:35 AM
NBA Injury Report
Ryan Rollins (foot) has been ruled out against the Magic on Wednesday.
Analysis: Rollins was a late addition to the injury report, and he will now be sidelined for the first leg of this back-to-back. That will open a starting spot in the backcourt, which could be filled by Cam Thomas or Gary Harris. |
|
Ryan Rollins Ryan Rollins (foot) now questionable Wednesday
Wed, Feb 11, 2026, 6:04 AM
Ryan Rollins (foot) was downgraded to questionable for Wednesday's game against the Magic.
Analysis: Rollins popped up on the injury report Wednesday morning with right foot plantar fasciitis. The 23-year-old point guard is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Magic. If he can't go, even more of the offense will run through Kevin Porter Jr. with Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) still sidelined. |
|
Pete Nance Pete Nance (ankle) questionable vs. Orlando
Tue, Feb 10, 2026, 10:32 AM
NBA Injury Report
Pete Nance (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Magic.
Analysis: Nance, who played 10 minutes in Monday's loss to the Magic, suffered a sprained left ankle. His potential absence would likely lead to Bobby Portis and Kyle Kuzma playing more, as neither played 20 minutes on Monday. |

Cam Thomas Cam Thomas plays 13 minutes in Bucks debut Monday
Mon, Feb 9, 2026, 4:27 PM
Cam Thomas finished Monday's loss to the Magic with four points (1-of-5 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), one rebound and one assist.
Analysis: One day after his signing was made official, Thomas made his Bucks debut. As was the case in Brooklyn, he came off the bench, playing 13 minutes. The production wasn't there, but the Bucks do have two more games before the All-Star break. There's no need to roster Thomas in most leagues, but some practice time with his new teammates could prove helpful after the break. |

Myles Turner Myles Turner records 13 points, five blocks
Mon, Feb 9, 2026, 4:26 PM
Myles Turner accumulated 13 points (5-of-9 FGs, 1-of-5 FTs), six rebounds, three assists, five blocks and two three-pointers in Monday's loss to the Magic.
Analysis: After totaling 52 points and attempting 32 shots in his final two games of January, Turner has recorded 11 shots or fewer in each of his last five. The good news for fantasy managers is that the Bucks center can offer solid value in other categories, most notably blocks. However, Turner's production has also tailed off in that category since the calendar flipped to February. He's totaled eight blocks in five games, six fewer than his total in Milwaukee's final three games of January. Hopefully, Turner finishes the pre-break portion of the schedule with another good night in the blocks category on Wednesday against Orlando. |
