The Milwaukee Bucks announced today that center John Henson will be sidelined with a torn left wrist ligament and first round pick Donte DiVincenzo will miss a few games with a minor left quadriceps strain.

Henson initially aggravated his wrist at Portland on Nov. 6.  He was able to play in the next three games before reporting additional discomfort in Wednesday night’s game against Memphis.

Henson will undergo surgery soon and his status will be updated following the procedure.  In 14 games this season, Henson is averaging 5.6 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.0 assist in 13.5 minutes a game.

DiVincenzo suffered the left quad strain in Wednesday’s loss to Memphis and is expected to be out for the next three games and will be re-evaluated at that time.  In 14 games this season, DiVincenzo is averaging 6.4 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 18.1 minutes per game.

Bucks stand pat as trade deadline passes

February 9, 2018 By Bill Scott

While the Cleveland Cavaliers were flipping nearly half of their roster, the Milwaukee Bucks stood pat as the NBA’s Trade Deadline passed on Thursday afternoon.

The Bucks had already acquired center Tyler Zeller on Monday and point guard Eric Bledsoe earlier in the season.  They’ll use their current roster to take them the rest of the way.

The Bucks will take a three-game winning streak into tonight’s game at Miami.  They’ve won 7 of their last 8 games overall.

The Bucks are expected to get John Henson back in the lineup tonight after he missed their last game with hamstring tightness.  He was able to go through a full practice on Thursday.

Thursday’s workout was also a good opportunity for Zeller to get further acquainted with his new teammates, as well as the Bucks playbook.

Bucks beat Brooklyn, more injury concerns

February 4, 2018 By Bill Scott

The Milwaukee Bucks led from the beginning and rolled to a 109-94 win over the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday.  The win pushed them six games over .500 for the first time since March of 2015.

The Bucks also saw Giannis Antetokounmpo and Matthew Dellavedova go down with right ankle injuries during the fourth quarter and are hoping they won’t lose either player for long, if at all.

Eric Bledsoe had a team high 28 points to lead the Bucks and center John Henson collected 19 points and 18 rebounds, both season highs.

Jabari Barker played 17 1/2 minutes and finished with 11 points.  He hit all six of his free throws.

The Bucks are now 6-1 under Joe Prunty as interim head coach.

The Bucks return to action for game two of their four game road trip on Tuesday night against the New York Knicks.

Bucks send Magic to sixth straight loss

January 11, 2018 By Bill Scott

The Orlando Magic dropped their 6th straight, 110-103 to the Milwaukee Bucks at the BMO Harris Bradley Center.

Giannis Antetokounmpo poured in 26 points and Khris Middleton added 22 to lead the way.  But all five Bucks starters scored in double figures.  Eric Bledsoe had 15 points, while John Henson and Malcolm Brogdon had 14 each.  Henson also pulled down 10 rebounds and blocked two shots in the win.

The Bucks did struggle from beyond the arc, hitting just 4 of 19 from three (21.1%).  That will need to improve if the Bucks are going to knock off their next opponent, the Golden State Warriors on Friday night at the Bradley Center.

The Bucks improved to 22-18 with the win.  The Magic fell to 12-30.

Parker getting close to a return

Bucks coach Jason Kidd said forward Jabari Parker is doing great and could return to the lineup in another month, before the NBA all-star break.

Parker underwent ACL surgery on Feb. 14, 2017.

Giannis scores 40, but Bucks end 3-game win streak

December 5, 2017 By Bill Scott

The Milwaukee Bucks dug a big hole early and saw their three-game win streak come to an end, falling to the Boston Celtics 111-100 on Monday night at TD Garden in Boston.

The Bucks fell behind by 20 points, got to within seven but would get no closer.

Giannis Antetokounmpo had 40 points on 14 of 24 shooting to lead the Bucks.  He made 12 of 14 free throws.  Khris Middleton added 19 and Eric Bledsoe 18 in the loss.

The Celtics shot 59.5% from the field and nine of 17 from three-point range in the first half.

The Bucks played most of the second half without a center in the lineup after John Henson and Thon Maker combined to go 0 for 10 with only four rebounds in nearly 30 minutes.  That’s when the Bucks cut the lead to seven before running out of steam.

Kyrie Irving had 32 points to lead the Celtics.

The Bucks return to action Wednesday night against the Detroit Pistons at the BMO Harris Bradley Center.

Teletovic has surgery, will miss a month

November 22, 2017 By Bill Scott

Milwaukee Bucks forward Mirza Teletovic had arthroscopic surgery to repair cartilage in his left knee on Tuesday.  The Bucks announced he’s expected to be out for a month.

In 10 games this season, Teletovic is averaging 7.1 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1 assist a game while shooting 46.7% from three-point range.

The Bucks also say center John Henson will miss the Bucks’ game tonight (Wednesday) in Phoenix after undergoing what the Bucks described as “a successful eye procedure” on Tuesday.

Wednesday night’s game features the return of Eric Bledsoe to Phoenix to face a Suns team he spent four years with.  It’s also the Bucks first game against former Bucks center Greg Monroe.

The Bucks will be trying to end a two-game losing streak.  They’re 8-8 and in fourth place in the Eastern Conference’s Central Division.

The Milwaukee Bucks (8-6) struggled to defend the three-point shot as the Pistons hit 15 of their 37 attempts, but inside the three-point line was a different story.

The Bucks blocked an NBA season high 16 shots, challenging almost every Detroit shot near the basket and knocked off the Pistons 99-95 on Thursday night at the BMO Harris Bradley Center.  It’s the fourth straight win for the Bucks, who ended Detroit’s five-game winning streak.

The Bucks are now 4-0 since Eric Bledsoe put on a Milwaukee uniform.  He had a key basket and pair of free throws down the stretch to help the Bucks preserve the win.

Khris Middleton hit 12 of 21 from the field for 27 points to lead the Bucks.  He added eight assists and six rebounds.  Giannis Antetokounmpo added 21 points, six rebounds, four blocks and three steals.

Bledso, who started 0 for 6 from the field in the first half, finished with 14 points, eight assists, six rebounds, three steals and two blocks.

The 16 blocked shots by the Bucks is two off the franchise record, set against the Pistons way back in 1980.

John Henson continued his solid play with 10 points, 10 rebounds and two blocks.  Thon Maker came off the bench to add four blocks to the total.

The Bucks return to the court on Saturday night when they head to Dallas to face the Mavericks (2-13).

After the Memphis Grizzlies put up 65 first half points, the Milwaukee Bucks (7-6) tightened up their defense in the second half and pulled out a 110-103 victory on Monday night at the BMO Harris Bradley Center.

The Grizzlies scored 36-points in the second quarter and took a 65-60 lead into the locker room at halftime.

“In the first half it was a shoot around like this morning where we were just going through the motions and both teams were just going to play buddy ball and score,” Bucks coach Jason Kidd said.

The Bucks tightened things up in the third quarter and Memphis made just 5 of 18 field goals and turned a five point halftime deficit into a seven point lead after three quarters.

In the fourth quarter, Memphis got hot again.  Tyreke Evans scored 12 of his 27 points to put the Grizzlies back in front.  But Kidd called a timeout and came back with his starters, who responded by going on a 11-2 run and taking the lead again for good. [Read more…]

The Milwaukee Bucks fell to the Cavaliers in Cleveland, 102-95 on Monday night and they’re hoping they didn’t lose Michael Beasley for the rest of the season.

Beasley left the game in the second quarter after his left knee gave way while trying to defend Cavaliers forward LeBron James.

Beasley was helped off the floor by teammates and carried to the locker room.  He left afterwards on crutches.

The Bucks are calling it a knee sprain for now and Beasley will undergo further tests on Tuesday in Milwaukee.

Lebron James returned to the starting lineup for the Cavaliers after missing last Saturday’s home loss to the Chicago Bulls after suffering a case of strep throat.  James finished with 24 points, 10 rebounds and six assists.  Kyrie Irving led the way with 25 for Cleveland. [Read more…]
