Andre Jackson Jr. - Cracks starting lineup Thursday Jackson will start in place of Gary Trent for Thursday's game against Utah, NBA reporter Chris Haynes reports.
Impact The Bucks decided to make this change after an abysmal 1-6 start to the season. Whether this decision will last longer than Thursday night has yet to be determined, but Jackson is primed to make a case for a larger role in the rotation moving forward, especially with Giannis Antetokounmpo (thigh) questionable for Thursday's game.

Giannis Antetokounmpo - Iffy for Thursday Antetokounmpo (thigh) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Jazz, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Impact Antetokounmpo missed his first game of the season Monday due to an adductor strain and could be sidelined again Thursday. If that's the case, Bobby Portis would likely draw another start.

Khris Middleton - Officially out Thursday Middleton (ankles) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Utah, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Impact Middleton will progress to 3-on-3 work Thursday, but his soonest opportunity to take the court will be Friday against the Knicks.

Khris Middleton - Will progress to 3-on-3 Middleton (ankle) is expected to progress to 3-on-3 work Thursday, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Impact Middleton's status for Thursday's game against the Jazz has yet to be determined, though he sounds doubtful at best. The forward is trending in the right direction according to coach Doc Rivers, and it will be interesting to see how he responds to Thursday's live 3-on-3 work.

Andre Jackson Jr. - Season-high 25 minutes Jackson posted seven points (2-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one block over 25 minutes during Monday's 116-114 loss to the Cavaliers.
Impact Jackson's playing time had been increasing in recent games, but his season-high 25 minutes was largely due to Giannis Antetokounmpo's (thigh) absence. Regardless, Jackson took advantage of the opportunity by showcasing his skill set against a strong opponent. Even if Antetokounmpo returns soon, Jackson has a clear path to 15 minutes off the Bucks' bench, which has struggled to generate production early in the season.
