Matthews (ankle) will not play in Tuesday's preseason game against the Bulls, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews has yet to play in the preseason due to his ankle injury. The Bucks will have one more preseason game Wednesday against the Nets before the regular season starts. If Matthews does not play Wednesday, his status for the regular-season opener Oct. 20 will be in question.

Matthews (ankle) remains sidelined for Saturday's preseason clash with the Hawks, Jamal Collier of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews has been bothered by an ankle issue early in the preseason and will continue to rest up as a result. The veteran still has a couple more chances to get in on preseason action next week before the regular season fires up Oct. 20 versus the 76ers.

Matthews (ankle) is out for Thursday's preseason game against Atlanta, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews tweaked his ankle during practice last week and will miss a second consecutive game to begin the preseason. His next chance to suit up during the preseason will be Saturday against the Hawks.

Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer said Matthews (ankle) is out for Saturday's preseason opener versus the Grizzlies, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews tweaked his ankle earlier this week during practice. There is no indication that this injury should keep Matthews out during the regular season, and this is likely just a precaution for the preseason.

Matthews and the Bucks agreed Thursday to a one-year contract, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews joined the Bucks in December last season and quickly became a meaningful part of the rotation. Notably, he started his final 18 appearances (including playoffs), averaging 6.6 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 27.6 minutes. He shot 39.4 percent from three during those games. His role could be scaled back next season based on who else Milwaukee targets in free agency. Plus, it will be Matthews' age 36 season.

Matthews ended with 12 points (3-5 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one block and two steals in 29 minutes during Monday's 116-108 loss to the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews hit double-digit scoring for just the second time across nine playoff contests. However, the veteran is connecting on 44.1 percent of his triples in 3.8 attempts per game over that span. Matching Grayson Allen in terms of role, Matthews will look to carry his momentum into Game 5 on Wednesday.

Matthews had eight points (3-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt), one rebound, four assists and four steals in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 116-100 win over the Bulls.

EDGE Analysis

After combining for just four steals over 11 games prior, Matthews was a pick-pocketing fiend Wednesday. Coupled with knocking down multiple threes in four games this series against Chicago, Matthews is doing his part in filling the void of Khris Middleton (knee). Matthews three-point prowess will remain on display until Middleton returns.

Matthews will start Sunday's game against the Mavericks.

EDGE Analysis

Even with the Bucks shorthanded, Matthews operated off the bench during Friday's loss to the Clippers, but the veteran forward will return to the starting lineup with the rest of Milwaukee's regulars back in action. As a starter this season (10 games), Matthews has averaged 8.1 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 28.8 minutes per game.

Matthews isn't starting Friday's game against the Clippers, Mirjam Swanson of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Although the Bucks will be playing shorthanded Friday, Matthews will come off the bench against the Clippers. He should still see increased run in spite of his bench role.

Matthews finished Tuesday's 118-116 win over the 76ers with five points (2-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 25 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews drew the start over a healthy Grayson Allen, but the latter outproduced the former in relatively similar playing time. The veteran wing has started three of the past four games and has averaged 4.0 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists during that stretch.
