Another poor performance Lopez notched seven points (3-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist in 24 minutes during Friday's 116-94 loss to New York.

Impact After averaging 10.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.4 blocks and 1.1 steals in 31.6 minutes per game over his first seven appearances, Lopez has totaled only eight points, eight rebounds, two steals and one block over his last two appearances. The veteran's 24 minutes Friday tied a season-low mark.

Shooting woes from deep in loss Lopez produced 13 points (6-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt), six rebounds, four steals and two blocks across 36 minutes during Monday's 116-114 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Lopez stuffed the stat sheet on the defensive end while grabbing six steals-plus-blocks for the third time this season. However, the big man struggled from three-point range once again, and he has shot only 28.2 percent from deep while attempting 5.6 triples per game. Lopez's defensive ability has helped his fantasy value, though his struggles with efficiency thus far have put a damper on his defensive production. Through seven regular-season outings, the 36-year-old has averaged 10.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.4 blocks, 1.4 assists and 1.1 steals across 31.4 minutes per game.

Drains three triples vs. Memphis Lopez supplied 12 points (4-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist in 24 minutes during Thursday's 122-99 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Lopez led the Bucks in three-point makes Thursday as Milwaukee shot just 9-for-42 from beyond the arc, and he managed to finish with the second-most points on the team behind Giannis Antetokounmpo (37). Lopez has scored in double digits in four of the first five games of the regular season, though he isn't expected to see a ton of volume on offense while playing alongside Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard.

Swats four in defeat Monday Lopez closed with 13 points (5-14 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, four blocks and two steals across 32 minutes during Monday's 119-108 loss to Boston.

Impact Despite an inefficient night, the big man ended as the club's third-highest scorer behind Damian Lillard (33) and Giannis Antetokounmpo (30). Lopez also posted a game-high four blocks, and he has totaled 13 swats through four regular-season games thus far. The 36-year-old did struggle from beyond the arc, and he is now a combined 5-for-21 from downtown this year.

Good to go against Chicago Lopez (quadriceps) is available for Friday's game versus the Bulls.

Impact Lopez was added to the injury report Thursday due to a minor quadriceps injury, but the veteran big man will play through it and shouldn't have any restrictions. Therefore, expect Lopez to handle his regular workload as the Bucks' starting center. He delivered 10 points, eight rebounds, six assists and six blocks across 36 minutes in the win over the 76ers on Wednesday.

OCTOBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Probable for Friday Lopez is probable for Friday's game against the Bulls due to a right quadriceps contusion.

Impact Lopez probably suffered the contusion in the season-opening win over the 76ers on Wednesday, where he recorded 10 points, eight rebounds, six assists and six blocks across 36 minutes. The probable tag suggests he's very likely to play and handle his regular workload as Milwaukee's starting center, though.

Lillard and Antetokounmpo power Bucks past short-handed 76ers 124-109

Damian Lillard scored 30 points, Giannis Antetokounmpo added 25 and the Milwaukee Bucks defeated the Philadelphia 76ers 124-109 in the season opener for both teams

Returns to starting lineup Lopez will start Wednesday's regular-season opener against the 76ers.

Impact As expected, Lopez will return to the starting lineup after resting during the preseason finale. The talented big man averaged 2.4 blocks and 1.9 made three-pointers per game across 79 regular-season appearances last year.

OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Not listed on injury report Lopez (rest) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the 76ers.

Impact As expected, Lopez will suit up for Opening Night after resting during the Bucks' preseason finale. The veteran averaged 2.4 blocks and 1.9 made three-pointers per game across 79 regular-season appearances last year.

OCTOBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Thursday Lopez (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason game against the Mavericks.

Impact The Bucks have decided to rest most of their key contributors for this preseason finale, so Lopez isn't expected to see action. Either way, he should be fully available for the regular-season opener against the 76ers next Wednesday.

Sees limited minutes Sunday Lopez posted eight points (3-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt), four rebounds, two steals and two blocks across 15 minutes in Sunday's 120-87 preseason loss to the Pistons.

Impact It seems head coach Doc Rivers tried to limit the minutes of the potential starters in this preseason opener, as no player reached the 20-minute threshold. Lopez will open the 2024-25 season as the starting center and should see steady minutes down low as Giannis Anteotkounmpo's frontcourt partner.

Nears double-double as top scorer Lopez notched 27 points (12-18 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 0-4 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one block over 39 minutes in Sunday's 126-113 loss to the Pacers in Game 4 of the first round of...

Impact Lopez led all Bucks players in scoring in Sunday's loss while connecting on a trio of threes and ending one rebound shy of a double-double in a balanced performance. Lopez has stepped up as the leader in the paint for Milwaukee during the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf), reaching double figures in all four postseason games while finishing with his highest scoring and rebound marks of the series thus far.

Poor off the glass in loss Lopez recorded 22 points (8-13 FG, 6-7 3Pt), one rebound, three assists and two blocks in 29 minutes during Tuesday's 125-108 loss to the Pacers in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference...

Impact Although Lopez generated 22 points and drilled a season-high six three-pointers, his rebound production was conspicuously absent. His one rebound matched a season low for Lopez, who has seen a noticeable drop in the category during his 16th season in the pros.

Cleared to play Friday Lopez (rest) is available for Friday's game against the Thunder.

Impact Lopez, Khris Middleton (ankle) and Bobby Portis (rest) have all been upgraded from questionable to available, while Damian Lillard (adductor) has been downgraded to out and will join Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) on the sidelines. Lopez has made 29 straight appearances, averaging 11.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.9 blocks and 1.7 assists in 28.6 minutes per game.

APRIL 12 • ROTOWIRE

Could rest Friday Lopez (rest) is questionable for Friday's game against the Thunder.

Impact Lopez, Bobby Portis (rest) and Khris Middleton (rest) are all late additions to the injury report and are now carrying questionable tags. If Lopez is held out, the Bucks could potentially turn to Danilo Gallinari and utilize a smaller lineup.

APRIL 12 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 10 in victory Lopez notched 10 points (4-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 117-99 win over the Magic.

Impact Lopez scored in double figures for a fifth consecutive game Wednesday, and he also made a defensive impact with three blocks. He's averaged 15.6 points and 5.8 rebounds in 29.2 minutes per game over his last five appearances, and he should continue to see plenty of run in the frontcourt late in the regular season since Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) has been ruled out for the Bucks' final two games before the playoffs.
