Kyle Kuzma News, Rumors, Updates - Milwaukee Bucks

Cleared to play Friday Kuzma (rest) will play in Friday's preseason game against Indiana.

Impact Kuzma was one of multiple Bucks regulars who were held out of Wednesday's loss to Chicago, though he's set to return to action in Milwaukee's preseason finale. The veteran forward started 43 of his 69 regular-season appearances last season, averaging 13.0 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 26.2 minutes per contest. He figures to continue seeing meaningful playing time in 2026-27.

Resting Wednesday Kuzma (rest) won't play Wednesday against the Bulls, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.

Impact Kuzma is joining a number of Milwaukee regulars on the sidelines for this exhibition. Friday's matchup with the Pacers is his next chance to play.

Serviceable effort Sunday Kuzma ended with 12 points (4-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals in 22 minutes during Sunday's 105-90 preseason loss to Charlotte.

Impact Kuzma was back in the starting lineup Sunday, ending with arguably his best performance of the preseason. For better or worse, it appears as though Kuzma could be a starting option for the Bucks come opening night. Having lost Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis during the offseason, Milwaukee will be hoping Kuzma can rediscover his form from a couple of seasons ago. For those in fantasy, he profiles as nothing more than a last-round flyer, based largely on the fact that he could play close to 30 minutes per game.

Impact The Bucks will try out their double-big lineup Wednesday, with Kel'el Ware entering the starting five in Kuzma's place. The veteran forward logged 20 minutes in Monday's preseason-opening loss to the Timberwolves, posting one point (0-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and one assist.

Goes scoreless from field Monday Kuzma managed one point (0-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and one assist across 20 minutes in Monday's 116-97 preseason loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Kuzma endured a forgettable shooting performance in Milwaukee's preseason opener, missing all six of his field-goal attempts and scoring his only point at the charity stripe. He did grab five rebounds and notably finished without a turnover, but there weren't many positives offensively. Kuzma remains positioned for a significant frontcourt role after drawing the start Monday, and there's little reason to read much into one poor shooting night during the opening game of the preseason.
