Milwaukee Bucks team news
Milwaukee may be a little short-handed heading into this one. Kevin Porter Jr. has been ruled out with a left ankle sprain, while Cole Anthony and Kyle Kuzma are both questionable to suit up.
Porter has appeared in just one game this year, putting up 10 points, two assists, and a steal in only nine minutes before suffering the injury. After an MRI and a follow-up from team orthopedic specialist Dr. Carole Vetter, the Bucks confirmed it was indeed a sprain. The 24-year-old guard was solid after joining Milwaukee at last season’s trade deadline, averaging 11.7 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game.
Anthony, meanwhile, has impressed early in his Bucks stint, especially with a 23-point, seven-assist, four-rebound, two-steal showing off the bench against Toronto. But an illness kept him out against Cleveland and could sideline him once again versus New York.
As for Kuzma, the 30-year-old forward continues to nurse an ankle issue that forced him out of Friday’s win over the Raptors and kept him sidelined on Sunday. He logged eight points in 18 minutes before exiting that earlier matchup. If Kuzma can’t go, expect Bobby Portis and Taurean Prince to shoulder more of the frontcourt load. Since joining Milwaukee midway through last season, Kuzma has averaged 14.5 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 2.2 assists in 33 appearances.
New York Knicks team news
On the Knicks’ side, the injury list is shorter but still notable. Mitchell Robinson is listed as day-to-day with an ankle issue, while Miles McBride is also day-to-day due to personal reasons.
