NBA Player News

Kuzma (Achilles) is out for Wednesday's game against the Pistons.

Kuzma missed the front end of this back-to-back set against the Nets due to right Achilles tendonopathy, and the same injury will keep him sidelined Wednesday as well. It remains to be seen if the veteran forward will be able to suit up for Milwaukee's final two games of the season against Brooklyn and Philadelphia on Friday and Sunday, respectively. Pete Nance, Taurean Prince and Andre Jackson should enjoy more minutes in the Bucks' depleted frontcourt due to the absence of Kuzma and others.

Rollins (hip) is available for Wednesday's game against Detroit.

Rollins missed the front end of this back-to-back set, likely due to maintenance-related rest. The Bucks are missing a ton of players for this matchup, meaning Rollins is likely to see heavy usage. It will be interesting to see how many minutes he's allotted, however.

Turner (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game against the Pistons.

Turner will be sidelined for a second straight contest. The Bucks are likely to proceed with caution given where they are in the standings. Jericho Sims and Pete Nance are likely to see sizable workloads with this news.

Antetokounmpo (knee) is out for Wednesday's game against Detroit.

Antetokounmpo hasn't played since March 15 due to a left knee hyperextension and bone bruise, and at this point, it would be a shock if he returned for the final two regular-season games following Wednesday's contest. The Bucks continue to say Antetokounmpo isn't cleared for game action, but the superstar is frustrated and believes the team is intentionally holding him out.

Randle is out for Wednesday's game against the Magic due to right hand soreness.

Randle is one of several players who will miss the Timberwolves' second leg of this back-to-back set, as Ayo Dosunmu (rest), Anthony Edwards (knee) and Mike Conley (rest) are also out. With Randle sidelined, expect Kyle Anderson and Naz Reid to see more minutes in Minnesota's frontcourt. Randle's next chance to return will come against the Rockets on Friday.

Edwards (knee) is out for Wednesday's game against the Magic.

Edwards missed the first leg of the back-to-back set Tuesday, and he won't suit up Wednesday either, giving him three straight games on the sidelines. The Timberwolves are being extremely cautious with the star guard, and it seems the goal is to have him as healthy as possible for the upcoming playoffs. With Edwards, Ayo Dosunmu (rest), Julius Randle (hand) and Mike Conley (rest) all out, Bones Hyland could see an expanded role in the backcourt after scoring 19 points in Tuesday's win over the Pacers.

Conley (rest) is out Wednesday against the Magic.

Conley will take the night off for the second leg of this back-to-back set. With this news, Bones Hyland could step into a featured role in the backcourt with so many players getting the night off for Minnesota.

Dosunmu is out Wednesday against the Magic due to right calf injury management.

Dosunmu will essentially be receiving a rest day as the Timberwolves head into the second leg of a back-to-back set. Presumably, Dosunmu will be back in action for Friday's game against Houston. Jaden McDaniels (knee) is questionable to make his return from a six-game absence Wednesday, so if cleared to play, he could end up absorbing most of Dosunmu's minutes.

Jones ended with 11 points (4-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and one block over 23 minutes during Tuesday's 116-103 victory over the Mavericks.

Jones and Brook Lopez combined for 21 rebounds in the win. The 10th-year pro bounced back to double-digit scoring totals after a three-game string of poor results. He's scored in double-digits only twice over the past eight games. The Clippers' frontcourt needs more nights like this from Jones to stay ahead of the pace in the playoff race.

Gobert (rest) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Orlando.

After logging 33 minutes Tuesday against the Pacers for the front end of this back-to-back set, a maintenance day is on the table for Gobert. If he does end up sitting out, Naz Reid and Joan Beringer are likely to see increased minutes in the frontcourt.
