Brook Lopez News, Rumors, Updates - Milwaukee Bucks | FOX Sports

Available Wednesday Lopez will be available for Wednesday's preseason finale against the Nets, Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Lopez took the night off Tuesday, but he'll return to action with the majority of Milwaukee's regulars. The veteran big man is looking to bounce back in 2022-23 after a back injury limited him to just 13 regular-season contests last year.

Taking night off Tuesday Lopez will not play in Tuesday's game against the Bulls, Chuck Swirsky of the Bulls Radio Network reports.

Impact Barring an additional report to the contrary, it's pretty safe to assume the veteran big man is just getting a breather in this one. Lopez and Bobby Portis remain the primary tandem down low for the Bucks entering the 2022-23 campaign, with Lopez hopefully slated for a larger contribution this season after dressing for just 13 contests in 2021-22 due to injury. Milwaukee notably has back-to-back contests to close out the preseason slate, so Lopez could be back in action as soon as Wednesday.

Double-doubles in Game 7 loss Lopez had 15 points (6-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds and three blocks over 37 minutes during Sunday's 109-81 loss to the Celtics in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifina...

Impact After back-to-back subpar performances, Lopez asserted himself early in Game 7 and finished with his second double-double of the series. He also registered at least three blocks for the third time this postseason. The veteran big man averaged 8.7 points, 7.0 rebounds and 1.4 blocks during the second-round series against the Celtics, but it wasn't enough for Milwaukee to advance.

Big presence inside Lopez accumulated 17 points (6-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds and one block over 29 minutes during Monday's 116-108 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Thriving in the absence of Robert Williams (knee soreness), Lopez was a mismatch against an undersized Boston rotation. Racking up five offensive rebounds while successfully drawing fouls, it's unclear if Williams will return to duel with Lopez in Game 5 on Wednesday. Trailing only Giannis Antetokounmpo in scoring Monday, Lopez has averaged 11.6 points per game through nine playoff contests.

Posts double-double Saturday Lopez amassed 13 points (5-10 FG, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and two steals across 29 minutes during Saturday's 103-101 win over the Celtics.

Impact Lopez made a big impact in the frontcourt in the Game 3 victory, finishing as Milwaukee's second-leading rebounder and third-leading scorer. The big man dealt with foul trouble that limited him to 29 minutes, but he still finished with his first double-double of the playoffs thus far. Lopez's point total was his highest since he scored 25 in Game 2 of the first round against Chicago.

Blocks three shots in Game 1 win Lopez recorded six points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt), 10 rebounds, three blocks and one steal over 28 minutes during Sunday's 101-89 win over Boston.

Impact Lopez's three-point shot wasn't falling Sunday, but the seven-footer still impacted the game by grabbing 10 boards and blocking three shots -- which were both playoff highs. The veteran big man is now just 5-for-17 from deep during the postseason and hasn't connected on three since Game 3 of the first round. Regardless, if Lopez starts to find his stroke, he can put up points in a hurry like when he scored 43 points over the first two games against the Bulls.

Pours in 25 points in loss Lopez contributed 25 points (9-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one block over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 114-110 loss to the Bulls.

Impact Lopez finished as the Bucks' second-leading scorer in the contest behind Giannis Antetokounmpo (33 points). The former knocked down three three-pointers and added six boards for the defending champs. Lopez is averaging 21.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.5 blocks through the first two games of the series.
