Kuzma (ankle) has been listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Hawks, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma might be trending in the right direction to be on the floor Tuesday for the Bucks against the Hawks, despite nursing a sprained right ankle. Since being traded to Milwaukee, the one-time NBA champion has averaged 14.8 points, 7.5 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game, shooting 40.6 percent from the floor and 29.2 percent from beyond the arc.

Coach Doc Rivers said Kuzma didn't do a lot at Monday's practice and will be listed as doubtful for Tuesday's game in Atlanta, but an MRI on the forward's right ankle came back clean, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tuesday's game is the first half of a back-to-back set, so it's possible the Bucks are simply being cautious after Kuzma tweaked his ankle during Saturday's win in Dallas. However, his status for Wednesday's rematch against the Mavericks in Milwaukee is also in jeopardy. In Kuzma's expected absence, Gary Trent, AJ Green, Jericho Sims and Kevin Porter are all candidates for increased roles.

Kuzma finished Friday's 104-101 win over the Wizards with 19 points (8-19 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and one steal in 34 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma didn't have his best shooting performance from three-point range, but he still led the Bucks in scoring in this tight win against his former team. Kuzma has scored at least 19 points in three of his last four games with Milwaukee, and he's establishing himself as a reliable third scoring option behind Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard (hamstring).

Kuzma finished Wednesday's 103-101 win over the Timberwolves with 19 points (7-17 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-8 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists and one steal in 39 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
The Bucks were without their two best players, Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) and Damian Lillard (hamstring), so Kuzma had to embrace a more prominent role on offense, and he thrived in such a position. Kuzma has played four games with the Bucks since being traded from the Wizards before the deadline, and he's averaging 16.3 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 0.5 steals per game in that span.

Kuzma finished with 21 points (6-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 9-13 FT) and six rebounds in 34 minutes during Monday's 125-111 loss to Golden State.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old forward put together his best performance yet since joining Milwaukee, doing much of his damage from the charity stripe -- Kuzma went just 3-for-4 from the free-throw line in his first two games for the Bucks combined. He's started the last two contests while Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) has been on the shelf, and it's not clear yet whether Kuzma will remain in the starting five once the team's superstar is healthy, or if he'll be used to bolster the second unit instead.

Kuzma closed Sunday's 135-127 victory over the 76ers with 13 points (5-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 36 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old received the starting nod for the first time with his new team, as Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) was sidelined for a fourth consecutive contest. Kuzma struggled from three-point range in the victory, and in two outings with the Bucks, he has shot only 4-for-14 from beyond the arc. Over that two-game span, the eighth-year pro has amassed 25 points, 15 rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal across 60 total minutes.

Kuzma will start Sunday's game against the 76ers.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma made his Bucks debut Friday against the Hawks, posting 12 points, seven rebounds and an assist in 24 minutes off the bench. However, with Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) still sidelined, Kuzma will supplant Bobby Portis as Milwaukee's starting power forward Sunday. Across 23 starts with the Wizards, Kuzma averaged 15.7 points, 5.9 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 28.1 minutes per game.

Kuzma will officially make his Bucks debut Friday against the Hawks, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma was shipped to the Bucks in a deal involving Khris Middleton being dealt to the Wizards prior to Thursday's NBA trade deadline. The one-time NBA champion will suit up for the first time Friday for Milwaukee in Atlanta. He's averaging 15.2 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game this season, shooting career-low percentages from the field (42) and beyond the arc (28.1).

Kuzma (recently traded) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old is questionable to make his Bucks debut after having been included in the trade that sent Khris Middleton (not injury related) to the Wizards on Wednesday. Kuzma appeared in 32 regular-season outings for Washington, averaging 15.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.4 three-pointers, shooting a career-low 42.0 percent from the field in 27.7 minutes per contest.

The Bucks acquired Kuzma, Patrick Baldwin and a 2025 second-round draft pick from the Wizards on Wednesday in exchange for Khris Middleton, AJ Johnson and a 2028 first-round pick swap, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma's name had been heavily linked to the Bucks in recent days, and the Wizards were able to work out a deal to send the 29-year-old forward to Milwaukee. He had been in the midst of a down season in Washington, shooting just 42 percent from the field and 28.1 percent from beyond the arc while averaging 15.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.4 three-pointers in 27.7 minutes per contest. In Milwaukee, it's not immediately clear if Kuzma will move into the starting lineup, or if he'll serve as the team's sixth man like Middleton had in recent weeks prior to being traded.
