Ware ended with seven points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-3 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 14 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 128-116 loss to Washington.
Ware struggled with foul trouble in his Milwaukee debut, picking up six personals while serving as a reserve behind Myles Turner. The young center showed some offensive activity but missed both three-point attempts and two free throws. His fantasy upside remains intriguing, though his production could be inconsistent while operating in a limited role.

Bucks' Brayden Burries: Scores 12 in NBA debut
Rotowire
Burries ended Wednesday's 128-116 loss to the Wizards with 12 points (3-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT) and five rebounds over 16 minutes.
The rookie guard made a strong impression in his regular-season debut, knocking down both three-point attempts and finishing as Milwaukee's fourth-leading scorer despite limited playing time. Burries faces considerable competition for backcourt minutes, but his efficient performance offers an encouraging starting point as he looks to establish a consistent role.

Bucks' Kasparas Jakucionis: Impresses off bench
Rotowire
Jakucionis had 15 points (4-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one block across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 128-116 loss to the Wizards.
Jakucionis made a strong first impression in his regular-season debut with Milwaukee, finishing as the team's third-leading scorer while shooting efficiently and converting all six free-throw attempts. The young guard also logged the most minutes of any Bucks reserve, suggesting he could carve out a meaningful role in the rotation and emerge as an intriguing fantasy option in deeper leagues.

Bucks' Kyle Kuzma: Shooting woes in loss
Rotowire
Kuzma totaled five points (2-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists and three steals in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 128-116 loss to Washington.
Kuzma endured a difficult shooting night against his former team, converting just two of nine attempts while committing three turnovers. His three steals helped offset the offensive struggles, but he was outscored by several Milwaukee reserves, including Kasparas Jakucionis and Brayden Burries. Kuzma remains part of the Bucks' starting lineup, though his scoring consistency and offensive role will be worth monitoring.

Bucks' Myles Turner: Solid shooting in opener
Rotowire
Turner notched 11 points (4-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one block in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 128-116 loss to the Wizards.
Turner knocked down two triples and contributed a block in his first regular-season appearance of the campaign, but his overall production was modest despite a substantial workload. The veteran center committed three turnovers and struggled to make a significant defensive impact as Anthony Davis erupted for 34 points and 12 rebounds. Turner should continue to provide value through his combination of three-point shooting and shot-blocking, though fantasy managers will hope for stronger defensive numbers moving forward.

Bucks' Nate Ament: NBA debut will have to wait
Rotowire
Ament (coach's decision) did not play in Wednesday's 128-116 loss to Washington.
The rookie forward was left out of Milwaukee's rotation after dealing with an ankle issue during the preseason. Although Ament was listed as probable entering the contest, the Bucks elected not to use him. His opportunities could remain inconsistent as he adjusts to the NBA.

Bucks' Caris LeVert: Doesn't enter season opener
Rotowire
LeVert (coach's decision) did not play in Wednesday's 128-116 loss to Washington.
LeVert opened his Milwaukee tenure outside the rotation, a disappointing development for a veteran capable of providing scoring and secondary playmaking. He'll need to work his way into a meaningful role before warranting consideration in most fantasy leagues.

Bucks' Gary Trent: Left out of rotation
Rotowire
Trent (coach's decision) did not play in Wednesday's 128-116 loss to Washington.
The veteran sharpshooter was unable to crack Milwaukee's rotation despite the team's Opening-Night defeat. Trent has the perimeter shooting ability to contribute when called upon, but his uncertain workload makes him difficult to trust in fantasy formats.
Bucks' Jaime Jaquez: Nets 22 points with seven boards
Rotowire
Jaquez totaled 22 points (8-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds and two assists over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 128-116 loss to the Wizards.
Jaquez was uber-efficient for Milwaukee, and he did a nice job attacking the glass, finishing as the Bucks' leading rebounder. The fourth-year forward is locked in as a starter for the Bucks, so he could be in for a career year.

Bucks' Tyler Herro: Nets 24 points with nine dimes
Rotowire
Herro ended with 24 points (9-21 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, nine assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 128-116 loss to Washington.
Herro looked great in his regular-season debut for the Bucks, and head coach Taylor Jenkins staggered his minutes with Ryan Rollins to allow Herro stretches to operate as the primary creator on offense. He appears primed for a big year as the main man in Milwaukee.

Bucks' Ryan Rollins: Held to nine points in loss
Rotowire
Rollins totaled nine points (4-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt), six rebounds and three assists across 24 minutes during Wednesday's 128-116 loss to Washington.
Rollins had a tough time getting his shot to drop, and he seemed to struggle asserting himself in the offense alongside Tyler Herro and Jaime Jaquez. However, we wouldn't overreact to one game, given that Rollins was a top-50 player last season. He may just need some time to gel with his new teammates.
Ament (ankle) is available for Wednesday's season opener against the Wizards.
Ament sustained a left ankle sprain in a preseason game two weeks ago, but he's recovered in time for Opening Night. Although the rookie first-rounder is a big part of the rebuilding Bucks' long-term plans, Ament is unlikely to play meaningful minutes in the early stages of 2026-27 while Milwaukee is healthy.
Sims (undisclosed) is not listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Wizards.
The high-flying big man is ready to suit up in Milwaukee's 2026-27 regular-season opener in Washington after missing the preseason finale. With the addition of Kel'el Ware during the offseason and Myles Turner entering his second season with the franchise, Sims is set to be the third center on any given night as the Bucks begin to rebuild following their trade of franchise pillar Giannis Antetokounmpo to the Heat.

Bucks' Nate Ament: Probable for Opening Night
Rotowire
Ament is probable for Wednesday's season opener against the Wizards with a right ankle sprain.
The rookie forward is expected to be available for his league debut Wednesday. However, Ament doesn't appear to be in line for a considerable role.
