Henson will be limited to 20-25 minutes off the bench in Monday's game against the Hornets, CF Gardner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Bucks, having already clinched a playoff berth, appear poised to rest their key players leading up to the postseason. Henson has served as a primary role player all year long and will consequently earn more rest than usual with only two regular season games left on the schedule. Mirza Teletovic could benefit from Henson's minutes restriction.

Henson (thumb) is available to play Monday against the Hornets, Charles F. Gardner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
After missing ten straight games due to a left thumb sprain, Henson will be cleared to play just in time for Milwaukee's final home game. Malcolm Brogdon (back) will also be making a return to the court after being sidelined for the past five games alongside Henson.

Henson (thumb) is out for Saturday's tilt against the 76ers and will target Monday's game against the Hornets for a return, Charles F. Gardner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Henson will miss his tenth consecutive game due to a left thumb sprain Saturday. However, he's targeting Monday for a return and should be considered questionable for that contest.

Henson (thumb) is unlikely to play during Thursday's tilt against the Pacers, Charles F. Gardner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Henson has missed the past eight games due to a left thumb sprain, which is on the hand he usually shoots jump hooks with. While he's doubtful for Thursday's game, Jason Kidd hasn't ruled him out for the other two games on the Bucks' road trip. Assuming Henson misses Thursday's tilt, Thon Maker and Greg Monroe will likely continue to see additional run, with Maker seeing the most significant bump in workload.

Henson (thumb) will not play Tuesday versus the Thunder, CF Gardner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Both Henson and Malcolm Brogdon (back) will stay back in Milwaukee to rehab while the team travels to Oklahoma City, but coach Jason Kidd did not rule out either player joining the team at some point during its three-game road trip, which continues Thursday in Indianapolis. Henson has missed the last seven games with a sprained left thumb, and the combination of Thon Maker and Greg Monroe have absorbed most of the minutes at center. Maker, in particular, has benefited, as over the weekend he played at least 20 minutes in back-to-back games for the first time in his career.

Henson (thumb) is expected to miss roughly a week due to a sprained left thumb, Chris Haynes of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Henson sustained the injury during Tuesday's win over the Trail Blazers, and he's already missed the team's last two games. In accordance with the one-week timetable, Henson will likely miss at least four more contests, with the Bucks slated to play Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. In Henson's absence, expect Greg Monroe and Spencer Hawes to each pick up some extra minutes off the bench.

Henson (thumb) will not play Friday against the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
Henson sustained a sprained left thumb during Tuesday's win over the Blazers, resulting in him missing Wednesday's game versus Sacramento, and his absence will continue Friday. According to coach Jason Kidd, Henson is still being evaluated by the team's medical staff. While an update on Henson's status should come prior to Sunday's meeting with the Bulls, Thon Maker, Greg Monroe and Spencer Hawes figure to share Milwaukee's minutes at center Friday.

Henson (thumb) was scheduled to be reevaluated when the team returned to Milwaukee following Wednesday's win over the Kings, Charles F. Gardner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Henson suffered the left thumb sprain in Tuesday's win over the Trail Blazers and ended up sitting out the second half of the back-to-back set. The Bucks haven't announced their findings from the reassessment of his health, but an update on Henson's status should come prior to Friday's game against the Hawks. If Henson remains out again, coach Jason Kidd would likely go with a three-center rotation featuring Thon Maker, Greg Monroe and Spencer Hawes, with Monroe likely seeing the largest minutes load of the three.

Henson (thumb) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Henson appears to have sprained his left thumb during Tuesday's tilt with the Trail Blazers, as he showed up on the Bucks' injury report earlier today. In order to avoid the risk of aggravating it further, Henson will receive the night off Wednesday, with his next opportunity to see the floor on Friday against the Hawks. Look for both Greg Monroe and Thon Maker to share the center workload in his place, likely meaning an uptick in playing time for both players.

Henson is dealing with a left thumb sprain and is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Henson likely picked up the injury in Tuesday's 93-90 win over the Trail Blazers, during which he contributed six points (3-6 FG), eight rebounds, three blocks and one steal in 20 minutes, though he turned the ball over a season-high four times. With the Bucks entering the second half of a back-to-back set, it wouldn't be surprising if coach Jason Kidd held Henson out, but the reserve center doesn't look to be on tap for an extended absence. If Henson ends up sitting Wednesday, most of his minutes would fall to Thon Maker and Greg Monroe.
