ROBIN LOPEZ NEWS

Kings waive him The Kings have officially waived Lopez after acquiring him via trade with Milwaukee on Thursday, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

Impact The Kings acquired Lopez from the Bucks in exchange for cash considerations, but it's unsurprising to see Sacramento waiving him. Expect Lopez to try and sign with another franchise where he can have a bigger role, as he averaged just 4.1 minutes per game across 16 appearances with Milwaukee this season.

Milwaukee Bucks' Robin Lopez Shreds Jazz Mascot's Sign After Gett Milwaukee Bucks big man Robin Lopez more than poked the bear on Sunday, facing off against the Utah Jazz, and paid the price with a loss.

FEBRUARY 5 • OUTKICK.COM

Held scoreless off bench Lopez recorded zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound in four minutes during Sunday's 123-108 loss to the Jazz.

Impact Lopez made his first start of the season Saturday against Dallas but played just four minutes. He retreated to the bench for the second half of the back-to-back set and didn't generate much production. The 35-year-old hasn't been a consistent part of the Bucks' rotation in recent weeks.

Making first start of season Lopez is part of the first unit for Saturday's game against the Mavericks.

Impact Lopez will take the place of his brother, Brook Lopez (personal) for his first start of the regular season. While he should certainly take on a sizeable workload, it's likely that Lopez won't receive full starters minutes with Bobby Portis and Giannis Antetokounmpo expected to see action at the five spot.

Back in rotation Tuesday Lopez produced zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) across two minutes during Tuesday's 146-122 victory over the Knicks.

Impact Lopez saw two minutes during garbage time as the Bucks blew out the Knicks. As expected, Lopez doesn't feature in the rotation most nights, instead plying his trade as one of the best celebratory candidates in the league. Sadly, this does not translate to fantasy value.

Back to bench Lopez will return to the bench for Friday's preseason game against Memphis.

Impact This is an expected move, as Brook Lopez is returning from a rest day. With Bobby Portis likely getting a lot of minutes as the backup center, Robin's role could be pretty volatile most nights.

Scoreless in spot start Lopez logged zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and three rebounds across 17 minutes in Tuesday's 124-101 preseason loss to the Thunder.

Impact Lopez got the start in place of his brother Brook Lopez (rest), but he didn't do anything to suggest he'll be a threat for playing time. Lopez will presumably open the regular season as a backup big, but he won't see enough minutes to be relevant in fantasy.

OCTOBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting in place of brother Lopez is in the starting five for Tuesday's preseason game versus the Thunder.

Impact Lopez will replace his brother, Brook Lopez (rest), in the starting lineup Tuesday. Robin Lopez is expected to be one of Milwaukee's backup centers this season.

Grabs five boards in nine minutes Lopez chipped in two points (1-2 FG), five rebounds and two blocks across nine minutes during Sunday's 114-108 victory over the Hornets.

Impact The Cavaliers dusted off Lopez during Sunday's win, calling on the veteran with Jarrett Allen sidelined due to an eye issue. Lopez was only required for nine minutes but made the most of his time on the floor, grabbing five boards to go with two blocks. Obviously, there are no fantasy ramifications here, but it is always nice to see Lopez's vintage hook shot on display.

Cameo appearance Sunday Lopez produced two points (1-1 FG), two rebounds, two assists and one block in 10 minutes during Sunday's 122-99 victory over the Clippers.

Impact Lopez made his first appearance in over three weeks, stepping into the rotation as the game descended into garbage time. Now firmly in the twilight of his career, Lopez is basically a strong locker-room presence and nothing more. He has appeared in only eight games over the past two months, finding himself on the outside looking in when it comes to playing meaningful minutes.

Listed questionable Thursday Lopez (illness) is considered questionable for Thursday's game versus the Pacers, Danny Cunningham of 850 ESPN Cleveland reports.

Impact Lopez doesn't possess much of a role for the Cavaliers, even when healthy, but he typically provides a handful of spare frontcourt minutes. If he can't go again Thursday, his next opportunity to play will arrive Saturday in Chicago.
