Offensive struggles continue Connaughton totaled three points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 22 minutes during Saturday's 129-118 win over Golden State.

Impact Connaughton scored fewer than 10 points for the 20th straight game, continuing his underwhelming season. Despite playing a consistent role, he has not been able to find any rhythm this season, offering very little in both fantasy and reality. Managers can safely look the other way when scouring their waiver wire for streaming value.

Provides spark off bench in win Connaughton registered seven points (2-4 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and one steal across 28 minutes during Thursday's 125-121 win over San Antonio.

Impact Connaughton led all Bucks bench players with a half-dozen rebounds while ending three points shy of the double-digit mark in a balanced outing to spark the Milwaukee second unit. Connaughton has recorded six or more rebounds in seven games this year, adding five or more points in five of those outings.

Good to go Connaughton (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.

Impact Connaughton's status was in question due to an ailment, but he'll suit up and presumably play his usual role off the bench Wednesday. Over his last six appearances, the backup wing has averaged 4.7 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 22.0 minutes per game.

Considered game-time decision Connaughton (illness), who is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pacers, is considered a game-time decision, Tony East of SI.com reports.

Impact Connaughton is dealing with an illness ahead of Wednesday's matchup, and the Bucks will wait to see how he fares during pregame warmups before determining his availability. If he's unavailable, Khris Middleton (knee), Andre Jackson and MarJon Beauchamp are candidates to see additional playing time.

Questionable for Wednesday Connaughton is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Pacers due to illness.

Impact This is unfortunate timing for the Bucks, as Wednesday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set. Khris Middleton (knee) is only expected to play in one game of the back-to-back set, so the Bucks could utilize Andre Jackson more than usual in the short term.

Practices Friday, good to go Coach Adrian Griffin said Connaughton (ankle) practiced Friday and will be available for Saturday's game against the Pistons, Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel report...

Impact Connaughton will return to action Saturday following a six-game absence due to an ankle sprain. With Khris Middleton (rest) out for the first half of a back-to-back set, Connaughton should garner a healthy bench role in his first game back.

DECEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Connaughton (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.

Impact Connaughton is slated to miss a sixth straight game, but coach Adrian Griffin said the backup guard should be able to return by the end of the week. Milwaukee has a back-to-back to end Week 8, playing Detroit on Saturday and Houston on Sunday.

DECEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Still out Connaughton (ankle) is officially out for Monday's game against the Bulls.

Impact Connaughton will miss a fifth consecutive game due to a right ankle sprain. The ninth-year pro struggled in his last five appearances before injury, averaging 4.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 21.6 minutes per game. While he remains out, Malik Beasley, Cameron Payne and Marjon Beauchamp will likely continue to see increased action.

DECEMBER 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out against Indiana Connaughton (ankle) won't play in Thursday's In-Season Tournament Semi-Final game agains the Pacers.

Impact Connaughton will miss his fourth straight game Thursday due to a right ankle sprain. Coach Adrian Griffin has already indicated that Connaughton will likely miss Saturday's contest if the Bucks advance to the In-Season Tournament Championship.

DECEMBER 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out Tuesday Connaughton (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Knicks, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

Impact Coach Adrian Griffin said Monday he doesn't expect Connaughton to play at all this week, so the backup guard could end up missing the team's next three games, though they might play only two contests this week if they don't advance to the In-Season Tournament Championship. Connaughton has missed Milwaukee's past two contests, which has allowed Malik Beasley, Cameron Payne and MarJon Beauchamp to see slightly increased roles.

DECEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful for Tuesday Connaughton (ankle) is unlikely to play in Tuesday's game against the Knicks, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

Impact While Connaughton hasn't officially been ruled out, Bucks coach Adrian Griffin does not expect the veteran shooting guard to play for the remainder of the week. Malik Beasley has been playing heavy workloads for the Bucks in recent games, while Cam Payne and MarJon Beauchamp have also seen a bump in playing time.

DECEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play against Atlanta Connaughton (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game versus the Hawks.

Impact Connaughton will miss his second straight game Saturday due to a right ankle sprain. Malik Beasley and MarJon Beauchamp will likely continue to see increased minutes in his absence. Connaughton's next chance to suit up will be Tuesday's In-Season Tournament Quarterfinal against the Knicks.

DECEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Thursday Connaughton (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Chicago.

Impact Connaughton sustained a right ankle sprain Tuesday against the Heat and was unable to return to the matchup. He'll be unavailable for at least one additional game, and it's possible the Bucks exercise caution ahead of next week's In-Season Tournament Quarterfinal against the Knicks. MarJon Beauchamp and Andre Jackson are candidates to see increased roles Thursday.

NOVEMBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Will not return Connaughton will not return to Tuesday's game against the Heat due to a right ankle sprain. He finished with seven points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in 15 minute...

Impact Connaughton is a key part of Milwaukee's second unit, so it would be a huge blow for the Bucks if he misses more time. Consider him questionable for Thursday's game against the Bulls. MarJon Beauchamp could see a bump in playing time if Connaughton is sidelined beyond Tuesday.

Quiet in victory Connaughton finished Monday's 142-129 victory over Washington with three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds and four assists over 26 minutes.

Impact The workload was solid for Connaughton, but he wasn't able to make a big dent on the stat sheet. He's been a significant part of the second unit for the Bucks, averaging 7.8 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.0 three-pointers in 28.6 minutes per game over the last five contests.

Faith being lost Connaughton supplied three points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist across 16 minutes during Saturday's 112-97 loss to Orlando.

Impact Connaughton played a season-low 16 minutes despite Damian Lillard (calf) missing his second consecutive game and Khris Middleton logging just 20 minutes as his knee injury is closely monitored. Connaughton averaged 9.9 points on 39.5 percent three-point shooting two seasons ago, but it's hard to trust him since Milwaukee is giving him limited run coming off last year's campaign in which he connected on just 33.9 percent of 5.3 threes.

NOVEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Contributing off bench Connaughton is averaging 22.0 minutes per game off the bench through the Bucks' first three games of the regular season.

Impact While Milwaukee may still be getting its rotation settled, Connaughton appears to be locked into a similar role as last season, when he posted 7.6 points, 4.6 boards and 1.3 assists in 23.7 minutes per game. He could see a short-term boost while Khris Middleton works his way up to full speed, but for the time being, Connaughton shouldn't be viewed as more than a low-end streamer in most fantasy formats.

OCTOBER 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to bench Connaughton will come off the bench for Friday's preseason game against Memphis.

Impact Khris Middleton is finally healthy and playing, while Malik Beasley appears to have won a potential starting job for the Bucks. Connaughton figures to be a key part of the second unit this season.

OCTOBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Draws start Tuesday Connaughton will start Tuesday's preseason game against the Thunder.

Impact Khris Middleton (knee) isn't quite ready to play, while Jae Crowder is getting a night off for rest. Connaughton figures to be a key part of the second unit for Milwaukee this season.
