Bucks' DeAndre' Bembry: Undergoes successful surgery
Rotowire
Bembry underwent successful season-ending surgery to repair the ACL and MCL in his right knee.
Bembry suffered the injury while closing out to Jordan Poole in the third quarter of a March 12 contest and had to be helped off the court. The veteran forward spent time with the Nets and Bucks during the 2021 campaign and averaged 5.1 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 18.3 minutes across 56 appearances. Bembry will be a free agent heading into the 2022-23 campaign, though there may not be many willing suitors if he has to miss a big chunk of the season due to rehab.

Rotowire

Bucks' DeAndre' Bembry: May be lost for season
Rotowire
The Bucks fear Bembry suffered a season-ending right knee injury during Saturday's 122-109 loss to the Warriors, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Bembry suffered the injury while closing out on Jordan Poole in the third quarter and had to be helped off the court. According to Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com, Bembry was spotted with a large brace on his knee and was walking around with crutches after the game, so it's not too surprising that the Bucks are bracing for a long-term absence. He's scheduled to undergo an MRI later Sunday, with the results of those tests likely giving the Bucks a clearer idea regarding how long he might be out. Since joining the Bucks in mid-February, Bembry appeared in seven games and averaged 0.9 points, 1.4 rebounds and 0.9 assists in 10.9 minutes.

Bucks' DeAndre' Bembry: Out Thursday
Rotowire
Bembry is out for Thursday's matchup against the 76ers due to left thumb soreness.
Bembry will have to wait to make his Bucks debut until after the All-Star break, as he's a late addition to the injury report with a sore thumb. With Grayson Allen (hip) doubtful, Milwaukee will remain thin on the wing. That could mean more minutes for Lindell Wigginton and Jordan Nwora.

Bucks' DeAndre' Bembry: Officially signs with Milwaukee
Rotowire
Bembry signed a contract with the Bucks on Wednesday.
Though Bembry hasn't played in a game since Feb. 8 after being waived by Brooklyn shortly after the trade deadline passed last week, the Bucks likely won't waste any time incorporating him into the rotation. Milwaukee is expected to be without all of Grayson Allen (hip), Pat Connaughton (finger) and George Hill (neck) for Thursday's game against the 76ers, so expect Bembry to have a role on the second unit in his Bucks debut. His path to consistent playing time will become tougher once the Bucks are closer to full strength on the wing.

DeAndre' Bembry: Waived by Brooklyn
Rotowire
Bembry was waived by the Nets on Thursday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Brooklyn acquired Ben Simmons (personal), Seth Curry and Andre Drummond from the Sixers on Thursday in exchange for James Harden (hamstring) and Paul Millsap (personal), and Bembry will be let go to free up a spot on the roster for the new arrivals. Bembry was a solid rotational piece for Brooklyn this season, averaging 5.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.0 steals while shooting 56.8 percent overall and 41.7 percent from deep, so he shouldn't have much trouble finding a new team.

Nets' DeAndre' Bembry: Lands 12 points in starting role
Rotowire
Bembry recorded 12 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and one assist in 30 minutes during Tuesday's 106-96 loss to the Lakers.
Bembry was back in the starting lineup Tuesday, something that is going to continue as long as Kyrie Irving remains unavailable for home games. While he has a proven ability to contribute on both ends of the floor, Bembry simply has minimal upside, so managers need not concern themselves with his role on most nights. Those in deeper formats should view him as a potential streaming option when Irving sits out.
