Prince contributed eight points (3-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over 22 minutes during Saturday's 108-105 victory over the Suns.

EDGE Analysis

Prince was given the starting nod for just the second time this season, highlighting just how desperate things are in Milwaukee at the moment. Having played seven games since returning from injury, Prince has offered very little on paper. In 18.3 minutes per game during that time, he has averaged just 6.1 points and 1.6 three-pointers.

Prince is part of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Suns.

EDGE Analysis

Prince will make his second start of the season, stepping in to replace AJ Green. In his only appearance as a starter, Prince posted eight points, two rebounds and one assist across 23 minutes.

Prince will come off the bench for Thursday's game in Utah.

EDGE Analysis

Ousmane Dieng will replace Prince in the first unit for Thursday's game. As a reserve this season, Prince owns averages of 5.8 points and 1.4 three-pointers per game.

Prince will start Tuesday's game against Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

With Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) sidelined, Kyle Kuzma will start at power forward while Prince draws the start at small forward. The 31-year-old has appeared in four outings this month, during which he has averaged 5.3 points and 2.0 rebounds in 16.8 minutes per contest.

Prince notched 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 22 minutes during Sunday's 134-123 win over the Pacers.

EDGE Analysis

This was a positive step for Prince as he continues to shake off the rust. He had been held scoreless in two of his previous three contests since returning to action March 10. If his minutes continue to trend up, Prince will soon find himself on the fantasy radar in deeper formats.

Prince produced zero points (0-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt) and three rebounds in 18 minutes during Tuesday's 129-114 loss to the Suns.

EDGE Analysis

This was Prince's first action since he underwent surgery Nov. 13 to address a herniated disc in his neck, and he understandably had some rust. Prince does have a solid path to minutes in Milwaukee, making him worth monitoring in deeper leagues as he ramps up.

Head coach Doc Rivers said Prince (neck) will be available for Tuesday's game against the Suns, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Prince underwent surgery Nov. 13 to address a herniated disc in his neck and hasn't played since Nov. 4. He's set to return Tuesday, though it wouldn't be surprising to see him operate on a strict minutes restriction following the extended absence. He'll likely compete with Kyle Kuzma and Gary Trent for playing time as he is eased back into action.

Prince (neck) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Suns, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Bucks had previously hinted that Prince may not be able to return for the remainder of the 2025-26 season after undergoing surgery to repair a herniated disc in his neck. However, Prince's questionable tag for Tuesday says otherwise, as it appears he's excelled in his rehab and is nearing a return to game action. If the veteran forward is cleared to play Tuesday, expect Milwaukee to deploy him with caution off the bench after not playing since Nov. 4 against Toronto.

The Bucks applied for a Disabled Player Exception for Prince earlier this month, indicating that they anticipate that he's "substantially more likely than not" to be unable to play through June 15, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Milwaukee labeled Prince as out indefinitely after he underwent surgery Nov. 13 to address a herniated disc in his neck. Approximately six weeks later, the Bucks haven't yet offered a more official timeline for Prince's return, but the team's decision to apply for a DPE implies that he's effectively being viewed as out for the season. Ultimately, an NBA-designated physician would need to concur with the Bucks' assessment that Prince is unlikely to return before June 15 in order for Milwaukee to be granted a DPE, which would enable the team to sign a player to a one-year deal worth about $1.7 million -- half of Prince's salary -- or less. Before being shut down after undergoing surgery, Prince had appeared in the Bucks' first eight games of the season and averaged 6.1 points, 1.6 rebounds, 1.5 three-pointers, 1.0 assists and 0.8 steals in 21.0 minutes per contest.

Prince underwent surgery Thursday to repair the herniated disc in his neck and will remain out indefinitely.

EDGE Analysis

The Bucks released an update Monday noting that the forward is in line for a significant absence, so this latest report doesn't provide much in terms of a timetable for his return. The team should release updates on Prince's status as he begins to clear hurdles in his rehab.
