Rollins (personal) is off the Bucks' injury report for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.
Rollins is set to return to game action after missing the first half of the club's back-to-back set during Saturday's loss to the Magic. The 22-year-old missed the Bucks' last two outings due to personal reasons and has fallen out of the rotation of late -- he last played Feb. 21, starting in a win over Washington.

Bucks' Ryan Rollins: Late addition to injury report
Rotowire
Rollins has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Magic due to personal reasons.
Rollins wasn't listed in the injury report Friday, but he's been downgraded to out roughly 90 minutes before the 8 p.m. ET tipoff. Kevin Porter should continue to operate as Damian Lillard's primary backup off the bench, with Rollins' next chance to play coming Sunday against the Cavaliers in the second leg of a back-to-back set.

Bucks' Ryan Rollins: Ready to return Saturday
Rotowire
Rollins (personal) is not on the injury report anymore and should be available for Saturday's game against the Magic.
Rollins missed the blowout win over the Mavericks on Wednesday due to personal reasons, but he's ready to return Saturday. It's unclear if he'll be part of the rotation, however, as Kevin Porter could remain Damian Lillard's primary backup.

Bucks' Ryan Rollins: Out Wednesday for personal reasons
Rotowire
Rollins won't play in Wednesday's game against the Mavericks due to a personal matter, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Milwaukee upgraded Rollins to a standard NBA deal earlier this week, making him eligible to play for the remainder of the regular season and playoffs after he had previously reached his limit of 50 active games with the Bucks as a two-way player. Though he could eventually supplant Kevin Porter as the preferred backup to starting point guard Damian Lillard, Rollins will have to wait until at least Saturday's game against the Magic to potentially re-emerge as a rotation player while he tends to the personal matter.

Bucks' Ryan Rollins: Converted to standard deal
Rotowire
The Bucks converted Rollins from a two-way deal to a standard one-year contract Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Rollins was in the midst of the second season of a two-year, two-way deal, but because he had already been active for 50 games at the NBA level, he was no longer eligible to play for the Bucks under his current deal. Milwaukee had seen enough from Rollins to move him up to the 15-man roster, making him eligible for the rest of the regular season and playoffs. Rollins had fallen out of the rotation lately, but now that his contract situation has been resolved, he could challenge Kevin Porter for the top backup gig behind starting point guard Damian Lillard. Over his 39 appearances with Milwaukee thus far, Rollins has averaged 4.9 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 12.5 minutes per game while shooting 45.1 percent from the field and 34.8 percent beyond the arc.

Rotowire
Rollins won't start Sunday's game against the Heat.

Bucks' Ryan Rollins: Solid output in spot start
Rotowire
Rollins produced 15 points (6-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals across 34 minutes during Friday's 104-101 win over the Wizards.
Rollins got the start Friday due to the absence of Damian Lillard (hamstring), and he delivered a solid stat line. This was his best scoring output since he scored a season-best 16 points against the Thunder on Feb. 3, and the four assists also tied a season-high mark. As good as he looked in this win, don't expect Rollins to see an uptick in minutes in the coming games, as Lillard will likely return Sunday against the Heat.

Bucks' Ryan Rollins: Back in bench role
Rotowire
Rollins will come off the bench Thursday night against the Clippers, independent NBA writer Justin Russo reports.
Rollins drew a spot start at point guard in Milwaukee's previous matchup Feb. 12 against Minnesota, but he'll move back to the bench now that Damian Lillard (hamstring) has been cleared to return.

Bucks' Ryan Rollins: Starting Wednesday
Rotowire
Rollins is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.
Rollins will fill in for Damian Lillard (hamstring) as the Bucks' starting point guard Wednesday. In six starts this season, Rollins is averaging 10.7 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.2 steals and 1.8 assists across 23.0 minutes.

Bucks' Ryan Rollins: Back to bench Wednesday
Rotowire
Rollins is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Hornets.
With Milwaukee's stars back in the fold Wednesday, it's no surprise to see Rollins heading back to the bench following Monday's spot start against Oklahoma City. Rollins has averaged 3.7 points, 1.1 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 9.5 minutes through 26 games off the bench this season, so his fantasy value is minimal against Charlotte.

Bucks' Ryan Rollins: Leading scorer in rout
Rotowire
Rollins posted 16 points (5-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one assist, one block and two steals in 18 minutes during Monday's 125-96 loss to Oklahoma City.
The injury-ravaged Bucks were missing essentially all of their stars and key players, and Rollins' career-high 16 points wound up leading the team on the night. It's not clear when Damian Lillard (groin) might be ready to return, so Rollins could have some short-term fantasy value with Milwaukee back in action Wednesday in Charlotte.

Bucks' Ryan Rollins: Starting Monday vs. OKC
Rotowire
Rollins is in the Bucks' starting lineup against the Thunder on Monday.
Rollins will make his sixth start of the 2024-25 campaign Monday as the short-handed Bucks are without Damian Lillard (groin), Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee), Khris Middleton (ankkles), Brook Lopez (back) and Bobby Portis (personal). Over his first five starts, Rollins has averaged 9.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 2.2 steals over 24.1 minutes per game.

Bucks' Ryan Rollins: Scores nine points
Rotowire
Rollins totaled nine points (4-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and one rebound across 15 minutes during Tuesday's 125-112 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Rollins continues to be a fringe rotation player for the Bucks. In 12 January appearances, Rollins has averaged 13.2 minutes per contest with 5.3 points, 1.3 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 0.7 turnovers on 54.0 percent shooting from the field.

Bucks' Ryan Rollins: Not starting Sunday
Rotowire
Rollins is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the 76ers.
Andre Jackson is back from a one-game absence, so Rollins will return to his regular bench role. He's averaging 3.5 points, 1.3 rebounds and 0.8 assists across 8.6 minutes per game when playing on the second unit this season, so his absence shouldn't have much fantasy impact.

Rotowire
Rollins is in the starting lineup against Toronto on Friday.
Andre Jackson is out with a hip contusion, so Rollins will get the nod in the first unit. He already has four starts to his name this season, posting averages of 10.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 2.8 steals and 2.3 three-pointers in those contests.

Bucks' Ryan Rollins: Cleared to play Tuesday
Rotowire
Rollins (illness) is available for Tuesday's game against the Kings, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
After missing the past two games with a non-COVID illness, Rollins will be active for the Bucks on Tuesday. Although the 22-year-old's presence is unlikely to change Milwaukee's rotation against Sacramento a great deal, Rollins may be able to see some run in the absence of Gary Trent (hip).

Bucks' Ryan Rollins: Questionable for Tuesday
Rotowire
Rollins (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Kings.
Rollins is in danger of being unavailable for a second straight game Tuesday due to a non-COVID illness. His potential absence wouldn't have major ramifications for Milwaukee's rotation, but sharpshooter AJ Green could have a longer leash from the second unit if Rollins is inactive against the Kings.

Bucks' Ryan Rollins: Out Sunday with illness
Rotowire
Rollins has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Knicks due to an illness.
Rollins was listed as available for Friday's win over Orlando after dealing with a non-COVID-related illness, though he didn't appear in the contest. The 22-year-old's condition may have taken a turn for the worse two days later, however. Rollins has averaged 3.6 points in 9.4 minutes per contest over his last five appearances.

Bucks' Ryan Rollins: Good to go Friday
Rotowire
Rollins (illness) is available for Friday's game against the Magic, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Rollins will play through an illness Friday, keeping him in Milwaukee's lineup for the 11th straight game. The 22-year-old's minutes have fluctuated lately, as he's averaging 6.3 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.2 steals in 16.2 minutes through his last 10 outings. With the Bucks essentially at full strength against Orlando, fantasy managers can likely find a more reliable streaming option than Rollins.
