Impact Kuzma returned from a one-game absence as a result of an ankle injury, tallying just five points. It's been a rough start to the season for Kuzma, playing a limited role off the bench.

Upgraded to available Tuesday Kuzma (ankle) is available to play Tuesday against New York.

Impact Kuzma will return after a one game absence due to his ankle injury, and will likely continue backing up Gary Trent. As a result, Amir Coffey will probably not be in Milwaukee's main rotation and Taurean Prince will see his minutes decrease.

It'll be more of the same if he's out again Tuesday night, but we'll have a better idea on his status based on his activity level at shootaround.

Ruled out Sunday Kuzma (ankle) has been ruled out Sunday against the Cavaliers, Ethan Sands of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Downgraded to doubtful Kuzma (ankle) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.

The forward is averaging 10.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.5 blocks through two games, and his expected absence would open the door for Taurean Prince and Bobby Portis to take on larger frontcourt roles off the bench.
