Available for Game 2 Nwora (back) is available for Wednesday's Game 2 against the Bulls.

Impact Nwora was forced to miss Game 1 of the Bucks' opening-round series due to back soreness, but he's officially good to go for Game 2. It's unclear if the 23-year-old will have a regular role in Milwaukee's playoff rotation going forward, but he probably won't see significant minutes unless one of the Bucks' primary contributors were to get injured. He's averaging 7.9 points and 3.6 rebounds across 19.1 minutes per game this season.

Probable for Wednesday Nwora (back) is probable for Wednesday's Game 2 against the Bulls.

Impact Nwora sat out Game 1 but should be fine for Wednesday. It's not clear if he'll be in the playoff rotation, however.

Out for Game 1 Nwora (back) will not play in Sunday's Game 1 against Chicago.

Impact Nwora's sore back will keep him out as the Bucks begin the postseason at home. The former Louisville standout has had some big scoring games this season, but when the Bucks are at full strength he's typically pushed to the fringes of the rotation. With that in mind, his absence won't have much of an effect on Sunday's contest.

APRIL 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Labeled game-time call for Game 1 The Bucks are viewing Nwora (back) as a game-time decision Sunday for Game 1 of their first-round playoff series matchup with Bulls, Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact The NBA's most recent injury report lists Nwora as probable for Sunday's contest, but the latest news update seems to suggest he's closer to questionable. Even if Nwora gets the green light to play in advance of the 6:30 p.m. ET tipoff, he's not a sure bet to be included in head coach Mike Budenholzer's rotation.

APRIL 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Probable Sunday Nwora is probable for Sunday's Game 1 against the Bulls due to back soreness.

Impact Even if available, Nwora likely won't take on a major role. In his 62 appearances during the regular season, he averaged 7.9 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 19.1 minutes.

APRIL 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Redords double-double in loss Nwora finished Sunday's 133-115 loss to Cleveland with 24 points (7-23 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and one block across 44 minutes.

Impact Of the motley crew of replacements on the floor in Sunday's loss, Nwora is the player who will likely have the strongest impact during Milwaukee's playoff run. Sunday's performance was a great example of what Nwora can do when given the opportunity, and he'll be used liberally with the second and third units moving forward.

Starting vs. Cavs Nwora will start Sunday's game against Cleveland, Joe Gabriele of Cavs.com reports.

Impact With several veterans resting, Nwora will move into the lineup on the wing. He'll be joined by Thanasis Antetokounmpo, Sandro Mamukelashvili, Jevon Carter and Jrue Holiday.

APRIL 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Reverts to bench role Nwora will come off the bench Sunday against the Mavericks.

Impact It's an expected move after Nwora started Friday and put up 28 points (10-16 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds and one block across 40 minutes with Milwaukee resting most of its lineup. The 23-year-old didn't play as a coach's decision in the two games prior to Friday's start, so he's unlikely to see much run Sunday.

APRIL 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Solid game as starter Nwora recorded 28 points (10-16 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds and one block across 40 minutes during Friday's 153-119 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Nwora has been forced to settle for a bench role, but he's been able to deliver good numbers when given extended playing time. He's played at least 25 minutes in 17 different games and is averaging 14.6 points per game while shooting 39.4 percent from deep in that span. Plus, he's also averaging 15.7 points and 6.3 rebounds per game as a starter.

Draws start Friday Nwora is starting Friday's game against the Clippers, Mirjam Swanson of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Impact Nwora didn't appear in either of the last two games, but he'll start for the shorthanded Bucks on Friday. He's averaged 3.5 points and 2.3 rebounds in 13.3 minutes per game across his last four appearances.

Shifts to bench Nwora will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.

Impact As Grayson Allen returns to the starting lineup after a one-game absence due to hip soreness, Nwora will return to his usual reserve role. In Tuesday's win over the Thunder, Nwora contributed 11 points, seven rebounds and three assists in 38 minutes of action.

MARCH 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Starting for injured Allen Nwora is starting Tuesday's game against the Thunder.

Impact With Grayson Allen (hip) shelved, Nwora gets the nod. In 10 previous starts, he's averaged 14.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.1 steals in 33.2 minutes.

Moves to bench Nwora will come off the bench for Saturday's game against the Nets.

Impact With Grayson Allen rejoining the starting five after a one-game absence prior to the All-Star break, Nwora will shift back to a bench role. The 23-year-old contributed 18 points and three rebounds across 35 minutes as a starter in his last appearance.

Embiid has huge game to help 76ers outlast Bucks, 123-120

Joel Embiid had 42 points, 14 rebounds and five assists and the Philadelphia 76ers regrouped after squandering a 15-point lead to beat the Milwaukee Bucks 123-120 on Thursday night

FEBRUARY 18, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Starting Thursday Nwora will start Thursday's game against the 76ers.

Impact With Grayson Allen sidelined due to a hip injury, Nwora will make his first start since Jan. 10. If Allen is forced to miss additional time after the All-Star break, Nwora could see some increased run until the former is able to return. The 23-year-old is averaging 8.1 points and 3.7 rebounds across 19.3 minutes per game this season.

Logs 26 minutes in win Nwora ended with nine points (4-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one steal over 26 minutes during Tuesday's 128-119 win over Indiana.

Impact Nwora managed a subdued performance Tuesday but could be in for a short-term boost, should Grayson Allen (hip) be forced to miss time. Earlier in the season, Nwora was able to carve out a meaningful role for himself when the Bucks were shorthanded. However, his playing time and performances have been relatively inconsistent overall, and he is mostly a speculative deep-league option.

FEBRUARY 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Adds 17 off bench Nwora ended Monday's 122-107 loss to the Trail Blazers with 17 points (7-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist over 24 minutes.

Impact Nwora saw an uptick in playing time Monday night with Giannis Antetokounmpo sidelined, and he took advantage by putting together his best scoring performance since Jan. 10 against Charlotte. The Bucks will likely lean more on Nwora to provide quality bench minutes moving forward with Pat Connaughton undergoing finger surgery Monday, a procedure that will keep him out for at least four weeks.
