Questionable for Sunday Kuzma (ankle) is questionable to play in Sunday's game against the Cavaliers, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

Impact Kuzma suffered a sprained left ankle in Friday's game against the Raptors. He didn't return to the game after going down. If the veteran forward can't play Sunday, the team will likely pivot to Taurean Prince to help shoulder the load.

On bench for season opener Kuzma isn't part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Wizards.

Impact Kuzma started in 32 of 33 games with Milwaukee last season, but he'll start the 2025-26 campaign as a reserve. The move doesn't come as much of a surprise, as the Bucks toyed with a starting lineup that featured three guards in Kevin Porter, Gary Trent and AJ Green throughout the preseason, and the team will go with that group Wednesday. Although Kuzma isn't a starter, expect the 30-year-old forward to be one of the top bench options for Milwaukee.
