Impact Livingston has been a featured member of Milwaukee's Summer League roster, and the Bucks seem to have been impressed by his performance so far.

Impact A second-round selection by Milwaukee in the 2023 NBA Draft, Livingston appeared in 42 NBA games over two seasons and made just one start. The 6-foot-6 forward has spent most of his time in the G League, and he averaged 18.0 points and 7.9 rebounds per game there in 2024-25.

Not on injury report Livingston (personal) is not on the injury report for Sunday's Game 4 against the Pacers.

Misses Game 3 Livingston was ruled out ahead of Friday's 117-101 win over the Pacers in Game 3 of the first-round playoff series due to a personal matter.

Impact Livingston missed Tuesday's game against the Pacers due to a non-COVID illness, but he's recovered enough to be available to play Thursday. He's appeared in just two games since the All-Star break, so his return doesn't have much impact on the Bucks' rotation.

MARCH 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Thursday Livingston (illness) has been listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Lakers.

Impact Livingston missed Tuesday's loss to the Pacers and could miss a second-straight game while battling an illness. The 21-year-old's potential absence won't have much of an impact from a fantasy perspective, as he averages 4.9 minutes per game for Milwaukee.
