Traded to Phoenix The Bucks traded Anthony and Amir Coffey to the Suns for Nick Richards and Nigel Hayes-Davis, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact Anthony was used sparingly by the Bucks this season with 15.1 minutes per contest across 35 appearances. Minutes may be even harder to come by in Phoenix behind Devin Booker (ankle) and Collin Gillespie, so fantasy managers have no reason to scoop him up for the time being. Anthony can be considered questionable to debut Saturday against the 76ers with Thursday's game out of the question.

Available to play Anthony (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Pelicans.

Impact Anthony was being listed as probable, and now we have official confirmation that he'll be out there. However, with Kevin Porter set to return Wednesday, Anthony could have a tough time getting into the rotation.

Probable for Wednesday Anthony is probable for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans due to a left ankle sprain.

Impact Anthony twisted his left ankle during Tuesday's win over the Bulls, but it's not expected to keep him out of Wednesday's contest. Check back closer to tipoff for official confirmation on Anthony's status.

Upgraded to available Anthony (illness) is available for Thursday's game against the Wizards.

Impact Despite dealing with an illness, Anthony is getting the green light to play Thursday. It's been a rough season overall for the 2020 first-rounder, but he's picking up a bit of steam amid the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf). Over his past three appearances, Anthony has averaged 12.0 points, 3.0 assists, 2.0 rebounds and 1.7 three-pointers in 18.3 minutes per game

Questionable for Thursday Anthony (illness) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Wizards.

Impact Anthony was a late addition to the injury report and may be held out Thursday. He's coming off a solid showing in Tuesday's loss to the 76ers with 10 points (3-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound and one assist over 14 minutes.

JANUARY 29 • ROTOWIRE

Fares well off bench Anthony produced 10 points (3-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound and one assist over 14 minutes during Tuesday's 139-122 loss to the 76ers.

Impact With Giannis Antetokounmpo requesting a trade out of Milwaukee ahead of the deadline, the Bucks may pivot to become sellers. Anthony, who is on a one-year, $2.29 million deal, may be viewed as expendable if the franchise turns into a youth movement.

JANUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Steps up with 17 points off bench Anthony closed with 17 points (7-9 FG, 3-4 3Pt), three rebounds and three assists over 24 minutes during Wednesday's 122-102 loss to the Thunder.

Impact With Kevin Porter battling an oblique strain, Anthony was thrust into a big role off the bench Wednesday. However, it was the guard's first game with at least 20 minutes since the Nov. 20 loss to the 76ers, so fantasy managers should likely take a wait-and-see approach on Porter's health before adding Anthony from waiver wires.

Sees 14 minutes in loss Anthony totaled seven points (3-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one block across 14 minutes during Thursday's 119-101 loss to the Spurs.

Impact Anthony has been phased out of Milwaukee's rotation over the past month, with most of his minutes coming during garbage time. The 25-year-old played the entire fourth quarter after Milwaukee entered the final period trailing by 37 points to the Spurs on Thursday. The former Magic guard has played more than 20 minutes only once since Nov. 22, averaging 4.2 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.6 assists over 9.4 minutes per game during that time.

JANUARY 16 • ROTOWIRE

Rare sighting in loss Anthony ended with four points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and one steal over nine minutes during Tuesday's 139-106 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Anthony moved back into the rotation for the first time in the past nine games, logging nine minutes during garbage time. After beginning the season as a regular member of the playing squad, things have gone from bad to worse for Anthony. In just four games over the past month, he has averaged 2.3 points and 1.8 rebounds in 8.5 minutes per game.

Available to play Anthony (neck) is available for Thursday's game versus Toronto.

Impact Anthony is experiencing some tightness in his neck, but he'll push through the pain and play in Thursday's game. Anthony is averaging 6.9 points and 4.0 assists in 15.9 minutes per game this season.

DECEMBER 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Thursday Anthony is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Toronto due to a neck strain.

Impact Anthony has picked up a neck injury, and he'll be at risk of missing Thursday's game. If the point guard misses the contest, Gary Trent, Gary Harris and Andre Jackson could see more run.

DECEMBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sees 19 minutes in win Anthony registered nine points (4-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt), three rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 19 minutes during Thursday's 116-101 win over the Celtics.

Impact After seeing a combined 16 minutes in his previous four games, Anthony gave the Bucks a nice lift off the bench in this one. Milwaukee's rotation is wide open right now, and with the team in need of a spark, Anthony is someone to monitor in deeper formats.

DECEMBER 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Limited to five minutes Anthony amassed no counting stats in five minutes during Monday's 129-126 loss to the Wizards.

Impact Kevin Porter left this game early with back spasms, but he's considered day-to-day. Anthony has pretty much become a non-factor for the Bucks and is on the outside looking in as far as the rotation goes.

Catches fire in loss Anthony finished with 16 points (8-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 18 minutes during Monday's 115-103 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Impact Anthony did his best to pull Milwaukee back into this game, at one point scoring eight straight points late into the third and early fourth quarter. He hasn't been able to step into a larger role with Giannis Antetokounmpo (groin) sidelined and continues to have issues in terms of inefficient shooting and high turnovers. He can occasionally pull together a big game or get hot like he did on Monday night, but Anthony is just far too inconsistent to see his role elevated beyond what it is right now.
