MILWAUKEE BUCKS NEWS

Kevin Porter Jr. - Produces 18 points in win Porter contributed 18 points (8-10 FG, 2-2 3Pt), three rebounds and six assists across 27 minutes during Saturday's 114-108 victory over Sacramento.

Impact Porter gave the backcourt some much-needed production with Damian Lillard (calf) sidelined. The Bucks went with youth and placed Ryan Rollins in Lillard's position, but he soon gave way to Porter, who ended with 27 minutes. If Lillard's calf remains an issue, Porter should be in line for an expanded role.

Kyle Kuzma - Records double-double in win Kuzma finished with 14 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 14 rebounds and two assists across 33 minutes during Saturday's 114-108 victory over Sacramento.

Impact Kuzma logged his third double-double in a Milwaukee uniform. He's rattled off three excellent outings over the past week, and his 14 rebounds marked his best total of the season in the category. Since coming over from the Wizards, Kuzma has been a consistent presence with the first unit, averaging 33 minutes per game since joining the club.

Giannis Antetokounmpo - Logs massive 32/17 double-double Antetokounmpo totaled 32 points (12-20 FG, 8-13 FT), 17 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 35 minutes during Saturday's 114-108 win over the Kings.

Impact Antetokounmpo took over the game and more than made up for Damian Lillard's (calf) absence. Although hampered by a pesky knee injury, Antetokounmpo played 35 minutes and showed no ill effects from the issue, The All-Star is enjoying an excellent March, averaging 27.7 points, 11.7 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.1 blocked shots over 12 games.

Giannis Antetokounmpo - Will play vs. Sacramento Antetokounmpo (knee) has been cleared to play in Saturday's game against the Kings.

Impact Antetokounmpo continues to manage a knee injury, but that won't keep him off the floor Saturday in Sacramento. The two-time NBA MVP is averaging 30.2 points, 11.9 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 1.2 blocks per game, shooting 59.9 percent from the field.

The veteran sharpshooter has been on a roll of late, averaging 14.8 points per game and hitting 44.7 percent of his threes over his last five contests.

Gary Trent Jr. - Likely to play Saturday Trent (knee) is probable for Saturday's game against the Kings, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

Impact Trent has been a mainstay on the injury report of late due to left knee patella tendinopathy, though he's expected to play in his eighth consecutive contest Saturday. Over his last five appearances, the 26-year-old swingman has averaged 14.8 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 steals across 25.0 minutes per contest.

Damian Lillard - Out for Saturday Lillard (calf) is out for Saturday's game against the Kings, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

Impact Lillard will miss a second straight game due to this calf problem, although the soreness isn't expected to keep Lillard sidelined for an extended stretch. Ryan Rollins and Kevin Porter will likely cover all of the minutes at point guard in this matchup while Lillard remains sidelined. Lillard's next chance to return will come against the Suns on Monday.

Ryan Rollins - Three swipes in spot start Rollins ended with 10 points (3-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists, three steals and one block over 29 minutes during Thursday's 118-89 victory over the Lakers.

Impact The 22-year-old point guard drew the spot start due to Damian Lillard (calf) being sidelined. Rollins struggled with efficiency, though he racked up a game-high mark in steals during the blowout victory. The third-year pro has received little playing time of late, and he is unlikely to be a major factor in the club's rotation whenever Lillard returns.

Pete Nance - Plays in garbage time Nance scored two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt) in seven minutes in Thursday's 118-89 win over the Lakers.

Impact Nance recorded his first points with the Bucks in their blowout win Monday. The 25-year-old signed a two-way deal on February 27, but has appeared in just two games that featured minimal playing time. The team's depth at center is currently shallow with Bobby Portis suspended and Jericho Sims (thumb) out for the regular season, but Doc Rivers has employed Giannis Antetokounmpo at the five instead of giving minutes to Nance.

Andre Jackson Jr. - Logs seven minutes in win Jackson recorded three points (1-1 FG, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, two steals and one assist in seven minutes in Thursday's 118-89 win over the Lakers.

Impact Jackson had an extended run of playing time in the fourth quarter of Monday's blowout, highlighted by two steals. The 23-year-old was a consistent starter for the Bucks from November to the beginning of February, but has played sparingly since returning from a wrist injury on February 21. Deadline acquisition Kyle Kuzma has replaced the 2023 second-round pick in the starting lineup, while Gary Trent and AJ Green have seen sizable minutes off the bench.

Tyler Smith - Gets garbage-time run Smith played the final 3:21 of Thursday's 118-89 win over the Lakers, finishing with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one foul and no other statistics.

Impact Smith had missed two straight games last week due to back spasms, but he was cleared to play ahead of Saturday's 126-119 win over the Pacers. He didn't appear in that contest, but Smith has now seen garbage-time run in two of the Bucks' last three games, logging five minutes in total. Even though Bobby Portis (suspension) won't be eligible to play until April 8 and Jericho Sims (thumb) is out for the remainder of the regular season, the Bucks haven't opened up a spot in the rotation for Smith or another player to play backup center. Instead, head coach Doc Rivers looks like he'll continue to stagger Brook Lopez and Giannis Antetokounmpo at center and run small-ball lineups when either big man is off the court.

Gary Trent Jr. - Big night off bench Trent closed with 23 points (6-10 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals over 27 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 118-89 win over the Lakers.

Impact The performance tied his season scoring high, matching the 23 points he dropped on the Sixers on Feb. 9. Trent has found a little burst of consistency in March, scoring in double digits in five straight games -- his longest such streak since November -- while averaging 14.8 points, 3.4 threes, 1.8 boards, 1.8 assists and 1.0 steals and shooting 44.7 percent from beyond the arc.
