Bucks' Kyle Kuzma: Unlikely to play Tuesday
Rotowire
Coach Doc Rivers said Kuzma didn't do a lot at Monday's practice and will be listed as doubtful for Tuesday's game in Atlanta, but an MRI on the forward's right ankle came back clean, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Tuesday's game is the first half of a back-to-back set, so it's possible the Bucks are simply being cautious after Kuzma tweaked his ankle during Saturday's win in Dallas. However, his status for Wednesday's rematch against the Mavericks in Milwaukee is also in jeopardy. In Kuzma's expected absence, Gary Trent, AJ Green, Jericho Sims and Kevin Porter are all candidates for increased roles.

Bucks' Kyle Kuzma: Scores 19 points with 19 shots
Rotowire
Kuzma finished Friday's 104-101 win over the Wizards with 19 points (8-19 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and one steal in 34 minutes.
Kuzma didn't have his best shooting performance from three-point range, but he still led the Bucks in scoring in this tight win against his former team. Kuzma has scored at least 19 points in three of his last four games with Milwaukee, and he's establishing himself as a reliable third scoring option behind Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard (hamstring).
Kuzma finished Wednesday's 103-101 win over the Timberwolves with 19 points (7-17 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-8 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists and one steal in 39 minutes.
The Bucks were without their two best players, Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) and Damian Lillard (hamstring), so Kuzma had to embrace a more prominent role on offense, and he thrived in such a position. Kuzma has played four games with the Bucks since being traded from the Wizards before the deadline, and he's averaging 16.3 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 0.5 steals per game in that span.
