Brandon Rush: Waived by Bucks
The Bucks decided to waive Brandon Rush (hamstring) on Saturday.Rush failed to make much of an impression during the preseason, posting just 2.7 points across 11.3 minutes in three contests. He was competing against Gerald green for a depth wing role, but ultimately was unable to win the battle. It is unclear how much his hamstring injury played a factor in the decision. The veteran will now look for new opportunities elsewhere.

Bucks' Brandon Rush: Joins Bucks on training camp deal
Brandon Rush is joining the Milwaukee Bucks on a training camp contract.The move was announced earlier in the week, but the details of the contract were not initially made public. It's now clear that Rush will come to Milwaukee on a training camp invite, meaning his contract is currently non-guaranteed, and he'd need to earn his way onto the final, 15-man roster. The veteran, who spent last season in Minnesota, is more accomplished than the typical camp invitee, but in order for the Bucks to keep him around beyond mid-October, they'd need to make a move to clear space. The 32-year-old Rush averaged 4.2 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 47 games (33 starts) for Minnesota in 2016-17.

Bucks' Brandon Rush: Signs deal with Bucks
Brandon Rush signed a contract with the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday, according to his agency, Priority Sports.The details of the contract are yet to be revealed, but if Rush's contract is guaranteed for the 2017-18 season, the Bucks will have to make a roster move to clear a spot on the 15-man roster. Rush spent last season in Minnesota, where he appeared in 47 games and made 33 starts. The former Kansas star posted averages of just 4.2 points and 2.1 rebounds per game, though he did convert nearly 39 percent of his attempts from three-point range. The Bucks are a team in need of outside shooting, so if Rush does, indeed, stick around for the duration of the season, that's where most of his value would likely be realized.

Timberwolves' Brandon Rush: Sees uptick in minutes Monday
Brandon Rush collected 12 points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 37 minutes during Monday's 110-109 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves.Prior to Monday, Rush had only been seeing 18.0 minutes per game over the past six contests with coach Tom Thibodeau opting to give reserve point guard Kris Dunn some run next to starter Ricky Rubio. It appears that coach Thibodeau may have opted to go back to his usual rotation Monday, with Rush seeing around 35 minutes per contest. The situation could be worth monitoring, especially with most fantasy leagues in their playoffs.

Timberwolves' Brandon Rush: Will start at shooting guard Friday vs. Warriors
Brandon Rush (illness) will start at shooting guard Friday against the Warriors, Kyle Ratke of Minnesota Timberwolves.com reports.Rush only missed one game with the illness, and it looks like it won't jeopardize his standing as a starter, a role he's held since Zach LaVine suffered a season-ending ACL tear in early February. Shabazz Muhammad, who tallied 17 points, six rebounds and one steal in 26 minutes Friday, will move back to the bench to accommodate Rush's return and will likely see his playing time take a hit.

Timberwolves' Brandon Rush: Will play Friday vs. Warriors
Brandon Rush (illness) will play in Friday's game against the Warriors, Jerry Zgoda of the Minnesota Star Tribune reports.Rush sat out Wednesday's win over the Clippers due to an illness, but he was able to log a full practice Thursday and take part in morning shootaround Friday, prompting the T-Wolves to clear him for a return. Look for Rush to assume his typical role as the team's starting shooting guard and play around 25 minutes, which will likely translate to less time for Shabazz Muhammad, Tyus Jones and Lance Stephenson.

Timberwolves' Brandon Rush: Probable Friday vs. Warriors
Brandon Rush (illness) took part in Thursday's practice and is considered probable for Friday's game against the Warriors, Kent Youngblood of the Minnesota Star Tribune reports.It looks like Rush will only miss one game due to the illness, which prevented him from suiting up in Wednesday's win over the Clippers. Look for Rush to reclaim his starting role at shooting guard Friday, resulting in Shabazz Muhammad heading back to the bench. Rush won't necessarily be in store for starter-level minutes, however, as coach Tom Thibodeau could opt to divvy up the minutes at shooting guard between Rush, Muhammad, Tyus Jones and the newly-re-signed Lance Stephenson.
